Ok my truck needs a radio and I look through the stock dash hole where it should be and I see nothing. I have the antenna wire but no other plugs to attach to. Does anyone have a picture of the stock harness? I dont know where the stock harness would be attached but it looks like there are a few open spots for a harness to plug into. I just don't see a picture or diagram showing what I am missing.

90% of us will have the factory plug with an adapter... do you have speakers in the truck?

There should be a bundle of wires coming out of the harness with speaker wires (two of the same color, one with a black line)

I will go take pics. I have an 02 crew cab 4x4 diesel f250. There literally is no wiring for a radio, but it had one before. I think it was stolen or something but I have watched install videos and there should be a stock plug dangling there but there isn't lol.

i will start with i HATE wiring :rofl:
but that looks like the remnants of a hack install after a hack theft to me :nod:
I am sure with the wiring codes zman provided you can do this...I am also sure it might be worth a hundred bucks to sit back and drink a beer while someone else deals with the headache :thumb:
or maybe that's just me :look:

Looks like your looking in the wrong area. Reach down through the radio opening and grab the harness. It should have a pigtail down there somewhere

I was afraid the fleet guys hacked the original harness to install a cb radio or something from what yohu were pulling outta there :hehe:
what did you install?
