I have accumulated a few S4 factory stereos and my S5 cars are in need of stereos. I know little about stereo installs and I was wondering if there is an easy way to do this. The connectors are diferent on the radios and I wonder if I can just buy "ready to go" wiring kits. What does everyone else do?? I am selling the car so I don't want to go aftermarket.
Thanks

 

i have never seen the wiring harness, but if both are simply plug n play and use the same type wires, i see no reason you couldnt splice the old wires with the clip. just be sure to check each wires purpose. though a ready-to-go adapter would be easier, this way could be free.

 

I didn't get the connectors with the radios, or I would do that...just the radios themselves. So does anyone know where I can get these connectors? I guess I could call Mazda, but they are usually pretty rude...

 

best bet least halse but a after market am,fm stero nothing fancy no cd or tape. pretty cheap and would make the inside look a bit more presentable, if u know what i mean. stock stero YUCK, o upgrade ever a small one always better. eye candy if you will.

 

Buy any cheap Mazda wiring harness and clip off the connector on the other end, then just crimp some of those female clip things on the end and then you can plug them in anywhere you want. Sort of a ghetto wiring harness, but at least this way you dont have to cut off the stock S5 harness clip.
