IS it true that things started to get complicated with the mach 460 system in 2001? I heard that I will only need the basic harness for my 2000gt with mach 460, not the metra. can anyone verify this? thanks

 

If you have a 2001 mustang with the mach 460 system you will need the Metra Harness #70-5519. But for your 2000 GT I believe you need the regular ford harness and the 70-5510 harness (I believe the 5510 comes with RCA's already attached) You can also use the 70-5511 but you would need to attach your RCA ends yourself.. So all in all you need three plugs to integrate into your mach 460.

 

I have a 2000GT with mach 460, so your saying I will not need the metra harness?

 

so this one should work? http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...02&tp=2977 Also I have the single tape deck/radio up top and seperate factory cd down by the shifter. I'm going to put the aftermarket HU where the tape/radio is, so I will have no need for the factory cd player down below, is there an aftermarket piece I can cover up the empty slot where the factory cd player goes?

 

Sorry I did not clear my post up. I accidentally submitted it before I was actually finished typing.

 

Yea you can buy a pocket that will snap in it's place. Also that harness is the one you need. But you will also need the one from Metra as I mentioned. (Metra #70-5510) All in all you need three harnesses.

 

alrite, I guess i wont really understand why I need three harnesses until I get in there and see how everything is wired up, so i'll take your word for it.

 

I would write it up for you but I have no pictures. I believe a member here (ttocs) has one on his cardomain page. Has pictures and everything. Will probably help you out alot more.

 

page 2 shows them in my 94gt.
