this is a total newbie question, but i want to take out my shaker 500 in my 07 v6 and replace it with a kenwood in-dash dvd. i went to best buy and circuit city, and they both told me i had to completely re-wire the whole car if i wanted to install an aftermarket deck. circuit city told me that i had to re-wire cause the rear speakers dont work with an aftermarket wiring harness. but my local stereo shop told me that wasnt true. so what im asking is, do i have to completely re-wire the speakers to make them work? or is this wiring harness gonna work with my in-dash dvd?

install bay for decades have been saying that about fords premium system but it normally is not true. I was told the same about my 94 gt and there is an easy work around once you know it. I am not familiar with the new models but I am willing to bet they are the same but different.

so if i bought that wiring harness, everything should work ok?

They're full off it. I swapped out the Shaker 500 for a Eclipse Navigation unit and it's using all the factory speakers including the subs. I ordered from crutchfield.com and they had the appropriate wiring harness. It was listed for an F-150 but worked fine. Give them a try.

k so i got thewiring harness, but i have a question... does the red and white rca cables plug into the back of the head unit, or do they plug in somewhere else? im sure you guys know what it looks like, but here's the harness.
