Key Features

• Plug-and-play fitment – the OEM vehicle-side plug and ISO 16-pin connector remove the need to cut or splice original vehicle wiring, shortening installation time on stereo upgrade jobs.
• ANSI color-coded conductors – AWG 20-22 tinned oxygen-free copper wire follows ANSI/CTA-2015-B color coding, so installers can identify pins and troubleshoot quickly.
• Protected 12V DC / 10A circuit – reverse polarity and short-circuit protection help guard the head unit and the vehicle electrical system.
• Corrosion-resistant terminals – tin-plated brass contacts in a PA66 housing support stable long-term conductivity under road vibration and humidity.
• Wide temperature range – flame-retardant PVC insulation rated from -40°C to 85°C suits dashboard heat and cold starts.

Technical Specifications

Models and Options

ZYX-02 is the standard configuration for this harness. Around it, ZYX develops a wider harness family matched to different OEM connectors and head unit interfaces: ISO wiring harnesses, Quadlock wiring harnesses, power and speaker harnesses, steering wheel control harnesses, vehicle-specific wiring harnesses and multi-pin connector adapters. Where a vehicle uses CAN bus communication instead of a non-CAN loom, a matching CANBUS decoder solution is selected separately.

Materials and Structure

• Conductor: tinned oxygen-free copper for stable conductivity.
• Insulation: flame-retardant PVC, ANSI color-coded.
• Connector housing: PA66 engineering plastic.
• Contact terminal: tin-plated brass.
• Layout: OEM vehicle-side plug → color-coded wire bundle → ISO 16-pin head unit connector.

Applications

• Aftermarket car head unit and Android stereo upgrade
• Center console navigation retrofit
• Used car interior electronics refurbishment
• Fleet audio system upgrade
• Car dealership accessory fitting

Customization

Model-specific design is used for precise fitment, so the harness matches the original vehicle connector and the selected aftermarket head unit rather than a generic pattern. ZYX develops harnesses and connector adapters for different OEM connectors and head unit interfaces, and maintains a vehicle application database covering 3,000+ applications. Sharing clear photos of the original dashboard, original radio or the connectors on the back of the original head unit helps confirm the correct configuration before ordering.

FAQ

Will this harness fit my vehicle?

The ZYX-02 is designed for non-CAN bus vehicle models and works with most aftermarket car stereos. Because fitment depends on the vehicle model, model year, original radio and original connector, please confirm these details before ordering.

Do I need to cut the original vehicle wiring?

No. The OEM vehicle-side plug and ISO 16-pin head unit connector provide a plug-and-play connection, so the factory loom does not need to be cut or spliced.

What wire and color coding does it use?

AWG 20-22 tinned oxygen-free copper conductors with flame-retardant PVC insulation, using ANSI/CTA-2015-B color coding.

What are the electrical ratings?

12V DC with a maximum current of 10A, plus reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection.

What temperature can it handle?

The harness is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

My car uses CAN bus. Can you still help?

This harness is built for non-CAN bus vehicles. For vehicles with CAN bus communication, ZYX selects a matching CANBUS decoder solution according to the vehicle model, year and head unit.

Can you produce adapters for other OEM connectors?

Yes. ZYX develops wiring harnesses and connector adapters for different OEM connectors and aftermarket head unit interfaces, based on the vehicle application and connector photos provided.
