Maybe look for a Metra 70-5520 ???
With mine i had to buy 70-5700's to plug INTO a factory radio. I noticed that to got aftermarket HU, i would need 71-5700, the 70 to 71 of the same part number is the male or female end. .

Also just found C2R-FRD1 might make the Rear DVD work. . . .

ok so i called sonicelectronixs they hooked me up. i guess i needed a metra 705521 i hope this is right one anyway but the dude said it was. ill use two of the 3 that come off the factory harness. the third on i guess was for the 6 disc cd changer that it had. so hopefully this works and thanks for the help. ill let ya know when it gets here if it works.

That would only be for the Speakers wires. . .
r http://www.oem-auto-accessory.com/71_5520_1_ford_lincoln_mercury_harness_03_08.html is the truck end of the harness?
I couldn't find the all 3 connectors for the radio side.

What color are the connectors?
It would work if, No Sub woofer, no DVD.

ok sorry, i looked up 705521 it looks correct. What i was trying to say, is the big plug which isn't included in the picture is for the rear DVD which you don't have, the little plug is for a sub woofer.

hey man...got the double din in this weekend...got the wirein harness sat and put it in the same night... for doing it my first time i thought it went flawlessly...took me about 1 hour to run my rcas and remote under everything and wire the double din in. the only thing is my friends dad works on couches like rvs and he told me not to hook up the two wires that go to the brake deal so u have to have the vehicle in park to watch dvds and he told me if i didnt hook them two up then i could watch them play while driving. so i did that and poped a movie in and the sound worked but no picture. would u know how to by pass it so i could watch movies while driving? sorry for the novel i just wote ha ha. thanks for the help..
