So you have a factory amp and sub? Factory Aux port? If so you will need 2 harnesses. You will need the 70-5521 listed above to cover the HU and the sub, then you will also need the 70-5520AUX listed above to retain use of the factory AUX port. Both are on Amazon.

It's amazing how inexpensive those harnesses are.

I just got a few radio from Crutchfield for that reason, they looked up the truck, knew exactly what it needed, and included it no charge, also free 2-day shipping just like amazon. Lifetime support too (just call if you have a question).

Crutchfield will help anyone who calls them up, can also call the radio manufacturer.

Crutchfield throws in the harness adapters because they're ripping you off on the radio itself. Know firsthand, just went through this on both my vehicles, saved hundreds buying from Amazon.

^--- Crutchfield may charge more for individual parts, but their radios are only a little more than amazon, and they include all the install parts. They included some sort of 12v-5v converter to "wake up" the factory sub without a "pop".
