Alpine Adpter harness
Hi guys, I am looking for one of those adapter harnesses, you know where it plugs into the factory audio plug, and you plug that into your aftermarket HU.... Ok the hard part, it's for a friend of mine who drives a semi truck. Kenworth doesn't allow any wires to be cut from the original factory audio plug does anyone know if they are made for alpine units?
thanks guys,

If you can't find one, you can always strip some wire back behind the factory plug, and solder the Alpine wires directly in line with them. Tape them up after, good to go. When he sells the truck, snip the wires, tape them back up, factory deck plugs back in.
thats not an option, the wires CANT be cut, stripped or tampered with in any way shape or form. I appreciate the help, but I can't stress this enough..

Are you positive the semi plug isn't the same as, say, and Alpine in the first place? Kenworth is a large company but they might just farm out their headunits to Blaupunkt or something.
If they're THAT adamant, then rewire the whole thing from scratch. All you need is a power, ground (easy) and to wire up the speakers manually (probably not too bad on those monsters). It'd take a little more work but, hell, you'd be doing it better anyways. That radio is going to see a lot of miles so why not just spend the extra few hours.
