Easy clean match

I put my wire diagram from my aftermarket stereo next to the diagram for this harness and everything was easy to match or figure out. I don't have steering wheel controls and the orange illumination wire wasn't needed, but so easy to get right!

not working

only sending 11mV to stereo, so not functioning. on replacemetn part, still same problem. seems really weird that +12V connection comes out of the control box, not the 22pin connection that connects to factory junction.

The biggest issue is the unit did not work, the unit did not provide accessory power needed for the radio to turn on. Crutchfield tech support(very responsive) is sending a replacement. If that works I will change the rating. Regardless, I have my dashboard apart and cant use my car for two more days. I don't seeing this as worth getting. I would just return for refund but then I would need to resplice all the wires. This is not worth getting for the base Ford. The only thing it saves you is running the ACC lead from the ignition switch and the reverse for the camera. If you had a XLT with steering wheels controls to preserve that would be worth it. Lessor issues: The unit came with extra wires that are not needed, this add extra mess behind the radio, also there is an unused connector with the same pin connector as the needed connector and confusing instructions on which to use. Wire colors: There are green and light green wires that are almost the same color. Also a green/black and green/dark purple that very difficult to distinguish.

Easier if wires are not already cut from the factory harness

Didn't finish hooking up yet but it hasn't programmed itself yet, even when we got it power it still didn't register what car it was in. Probably an error on my end but a week later and its still not done. :(

I measured this product puts about 85mA draw on my battery. (stereo disconnected) It was connected to the rest of the car electrical system at the same time but I didn't have the problem before stereo install. Battery dies if I don't drive it everyday. I need this because I bought the new dash to fit the stereo, and the dash has accessory buttons that require this product...bummed.

Installed this in a 2016 Fiesta. Bought it to get away from the horrible Sync in this car and have the capability to run my sub with cleaner inputs. Easy to wire and powered up my stereo as advertised. But it put a draw on the battery. So it all came back out. I would rather fight Sync Bluetooth than have to leave my car on a battery tender. May work better on some of the other models.

Works great

Used to connect a double DIN unit in my 2012 Focus. Wire colors match up with the Sony plug. Wired it up at the kitchen counter in a few minutes. The included black box is not a pass-thru, but simply connects to the unlabeled plug on the harness. All works perfectly.

Nav will not give steady 12volt power with ignition on only with car running works fine. Tried two nav units both the same. Yet incoming power from the ford portion was always hot?? Never explained worked around it. Now the steering wheel controller, sucks. Again terrific customer support, no questions asked help and extremely knowledgeable except as to why the 12v drops on ignite only. really needs a call to Metra.

Perfect

Does exactly what they say it will do. My 2011 Ford Fiesta happens to be one with the new style factory wiring which is like the 2012 so this harness was required. No one has mentioned this anywhere online, but I worked with Crutchfield and they found me this harness which is perfect!

Not Compatible with Recent-Year Ford Transits

This is not compatible with recent year Ford Transits (mine is 2018 Cargo) - The 2018 Ford Transits all include a 4" LCD presumably due to the new law that requires model year 2018 and newer vehicles to have a backup camera. - My vehicle was confirmed to NOT provide a factory accessory wire, thus requiring the Axxess kit (or other). - My vehicle was confirmed to include the proper CAN bus connections at the proper pinout for interface with the Axxess kit. - Upon battery connection and accessory mode (or ignition), no 12V signal was present on the accessory output of the Axxess kit. - At no point did any LEDs illuminate on the Axxess kit (some techs said that there was an LED that should illuminate, another said there wasn't) - A firmware update was available for the Axxess kit, updating from v3.2 to v3.3. Unfortunately, this update did not affect the operation and all symptoms remained. - A new Axxess kit was ordered in case it was defective - swapping for the new black box changed nothing, swapping out the wiring harness and testing both black boxes also yielded no change. - All signs (and reviews from other Transit owners online) pointed to the Axxess kit not being compatible with my model of Transit - despite claims otherwise from Metra. + While I cannot refer to other products according to Crutchfield's review policies, another product that comes recommended by Crutchfield offered by a different manufacturer worked great but is dramatica

Easy to install and has very good instructions

Have questions for
?

you need this thing, so deal with it

the instructions didn't make it clear where to connect the relay module, as it connects perfectly in 2 different places, yet only one will work correctly. you've got a 50/50 shot, and you have to completely install it before u can test it. the module itself has been buggy. it's a complex relay, with some teething issues. sometimes it will cycle my HU on and off repeatedly with the key in ACC. sometimes the radio simply won't shut off after i've removed the key and opened the door. it always figures out what it's supposed to do, but there's hesitation. Ford is making their wiring super-cryptic as of late, and frankly it's a technical marvel that this thing exists at this price. if they told me there was a $100 version that worked absolutely flawlessly, i'd still get this cheaper one. trying to go without this interface is not worth the trouble. you need this thing, so deal with it.

Wish it had better instructions. Worked great after guessing what connection to plug it into. If you do not have steering wheel controls, plug it into the unlabeled connector.

Interface will not work on my 2017 ford transit connect. Tried a second one with the same problem. It drains the battery overnight. Crutchfield was great, so was the guy at Metra, but it will not function correctly. Tried everything they came up with but no go. I have a Kenwood paperweight sitting in the box. The newer Fords must have changed something in the electronics package that outside companies have not figured out yet. BUMMER!

No accessory wire on Ford Transit Connect xl

Instructions were clear. On my 2016 Ford Transit Connect xl there is no wire coming from the ignition (accessory) switch to match up with the Red wire. However, the unit doesn't work without the Red wire connected and will drain the battery unless you shut it off. The answer (for me) was to install a shut off switch on the Dash Kit. As long as I remember to shut that switch off, everything else works fine.

Instructions unclear, but Crutchfield Tech Support Helped!

Works great, but instructions aren't super clear so I had to call and have Crutchfield help! Then it went great. Basically you follow the instructions for connecting and electrically taping the wires to the other harness that comes with your new head unit (for me the Sony XAV-AX100). Then you have to plug the tiny box that comes with this kit into the plug NOT marked with the "ASWC" label. Then you just plug in the harness side to the Ford harness and the head unit side into your new radio. The 3.5mm "headphone jack" and aswc plug are used only if you have the steering wheel harness interface, so you can leave those hanging. Worked on first try, and went great with my Metra finish panel.

Do Not Buy

This adapter is absolute garbage. The first one did not work at all out of the box. The second one that is in the car now works when it wants to, shuts off at completely random times & is worthless. Now I am stuck trying to figure out if I should put the basic original stereo back in, swap this out for a more expensive adapter or try to hot wire the stereo myself. Even the tech agreed it probably isn't worth trying a third one of these. Absolute cheap electronics. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Is definitely a harness, definitely retains RAP. YMMV beyond that.

I went with one of these after finding an ADBOX useless for my setup for a 2014 Fiesta with Sync, without MFT. This is marginally better. It's no longer flashing weird things on my display like the ADBOX was, but, according to AXXESS support reverse signal isn't supported for manual transmissions (????) and I should just give up on the prewired ASWC-1 harness ever working. Email support (with AXXESS, not Crutchfield) literally suggested bypassing this harness and connecting the ASWC-1 at the resistive signal source to get steering wheel control working. I got a plug-n-play harness to specifically avoid that!! If you want RAP and an audio harness hookup and don't want to use SYNC, this does that. Beyond that, good luck. Go with literally any other solution if your vehicle supports it. This is a bad one.
