Do I buy a separate connector and splice that into the other and connect it to the new stereo or leave it disconnected? I do not have the factory sub by the way and the new stereo's extra connection on back is all RCA plugs of which my wiring harness has none of these? Can someone give me an idea of what to do here. Thank you and this is a great thread.

Note: the wire harness for the camera doesn't carry a wire that I can use to tap into reverse lights so I have to pickup something in the dash, or run a new wire (which I'm trying not to do).

Thanks, Clint

You'll still need the JVC Sirius module, the Ford one won't work.
