Is splicing and crimping of wires needed or is this simply a swap out plug &amp; play to your Dakota/Durango?

There is some splicing involved. I used quick splice connectors to set up the halo lights and small LEDs to be used when the running lights are on. The instructions that came with the lights are decent.

The instructions say to run 3 supplied wires from clock spring to ECM, so no splicing, it will be as factory. But my vehicle the wires were already there. I had to trim plastic for switch to fit and install switch. Works great.

Not at all...I just used the splice connectors and tied into the factory wires

I belive they sell extension for the 02 sensor. I don't recommend splicing the wire. It might be possible at your own risk.

I haven't done that yet, but in the instruction sheet you will find 'how to' depending on your make & model. On mine, the procedure is to remove a connector & cut a wire.

This was an exact replacement to my (Kwikee) steps in my motorhome. It came complete with new wiring plugs. And as I recall there was a switch (not sure if I used it though). I believe we used my existing switch.It's basically a bolt in and GO! It's been a while! Anyway I hope this helps!

I had to trace the factory wire and replace it with the supplied one from Power Master. Need to solder it so if you can't solder I would consult a professional. Good Luck I am glad to have got the one in my Jeep and am planning to do one for my Durango.

I found another plug at Walmart(automotive/ lighting/wiring)& took what parts i needed that one to make the original work. If your not comfortable swapping parts,you can splice the wires to the new connector or hard wire it to a fused switch.

I spliced the wires together and used heat shrink covers. It's not exactly the best way to do it but the results were clean and safe.

I'm sorry, David. It's been a while, and I don't have my model info in front of me. I can tell you, that for me, it was like a 5min installation. Just label all the wires and where they are supposed to go! It saved me more than $200, buying the part and installing myself. Best of luck.

I received everything shown in the picture, although I believe mine had the connector with the wires and sockets already assembled...I recommend soldering the wires to the factory harness, unless you have some good waterproof compression connectors. Twisting and taping, or even wire nutting throws off the temp reading by a couple degrees...Soldering fixed it, and mine now reads the correct temp...Been working for about 6 months.

The model I have, a 2012 Tundra, had the wires for the windows pre-wired. When I took off the old mirrors, the plugs were hanging there. I jacked them in and they worked without configuration. It was great.

Greg, I have one of these on the front & I don't care a lick for it! Buy a bigger unit if you can! As far as wiring, I just made up a 2 strand wire harness & ran it along the inside edge of my deep v right down to the battery. I then split it & put a connecter for each post. It works like a charm! I'm no Guru when it comes to this kind of stuff either and I made it work. cbmgh@comcast.net if I cabn be of further assistance to you. CB

It's easy. If I remember correctly, one wire has a white stripe on it for white... And if it doesn't, just swap wires. No biggie.

I did not use the connector.. just cut them off and spliced them into the existing wires.

It provides a "Standard" Wires out but I would get a custom wire set. Lets say you have a 1997 Dodge Dakota Pickup (which I have) and you do not want to chop up your stock wiring hardness, so you get a hardness that connects to the stock/OEM wiring hardness. I was able to connect the two harnesses ( The ken-wood and Stock/OEM) outside the truck and then just plug and play. One key point on this unit, The Bluetooth sucks!! Every time I Use it, it connects in a different way, some times it connects automatically and sometimes I have go thought the modes to get it to hook up and then others I have to re-pair it to the unit. I called ken-wood on this and have refreshed the firmware about 20 times now but it still does the same thing. I have tried Blackberry, Iphone and android and it does the same on all of them. I only use it for Bluetooth so this is a big deal for me. You can not use it for phone calls, the ken-wood mic has never worked and you have spend $100 for their ext. mic. Good Luck.
