For those of you who've installed head units into your focus, did you use a wiring harness adapter? I picked one up, and wouldn't mind soldering it up to the headunit before I go install..but I have a couple of questions.
1) The power (and grounds for that matter) are extremely long, and have a 10amp inline fuse. Now the wiring harness adapter has ground and constant power pins. Can the stock harness/fuse handle the headunit that's protected by a 10amp fuse?
2) This wiring harness adapter also has leads for power antenna and amp remote power. The head unit has a remote power switch with a spade connector that the instructions mention to wire to the amp, and/or antenna booster. I would assume I skip wiring up the remote AMP wire on the harness adapter because I don't have the audiophile package, but instead wire the remote amp power to the power antenna lead on the harness adapter. Is this correct?
Any information I can gather before I rip the stock unit out is greatly appreciated.
thanks!
