Question
Hi- I have a 1998 Ford Explorer and would like to install a JVC KD-SX650 into it. I purchased a harness for the Ford connection and it shows all of the wiring color designations on the package. I need the wire color designations for this radio since it was given to me but I don't have any paperwork. I appreciate any assistance you can give me. Thanks!

Answer
Surely you can find the installation diagram online. Try the JVC support pages as the have all the models manuals posted there.

And, determine the connections, in the worst case, by opening the cover and following the trace of the wires.

Let me know if you don't get it working.
