AxxessInterface AFDI-5V Ford 12V to 5V Step Down,BLACK

Had the infamous "POP" in the rear 6x9s when the deck turned on. Wired this in and it's gone.Not sure what's inside the box, but a 12volt to 5volt step down can be down with about 25 cents in resistors.

If you’ve got a Ford Shaker system this is the cure for the pop when you turn on your aftermarket head unit!

It helps, the popping in my car has gotten much softer, but it's still there so it doesn't work 100%

I have a 2003 ford escape with a premium mach sound system (6 disc, double din factory stereo with amplified system.) I recently wanted to remove the factory receiver in order to put in an aftermarket head unit to get a Aux and USB slot to play music. I bought the appropriate Metra wiring harness and hooked everything up. Bad newsEvery time I turned on the car, a loud pop could be heard from the speakers. I did some research to find out that most early model fords with premium OEM amplified systems turn on the amp with 5 volts instead of the 12v provided by most modern aftermarket head units. Whenever the car was turned on, 12 volts overloaded the amps with initial power and in turn caused the loud pop. Once installed, this product COMPLETELY eliminates the pop with minimal installation effort if you know what your doing.When this product arrived, I quickly noticed that is was not all like the product pictured. It was better. To my surprise the product that showed up appeared with color coded wires that made the installation of this step down extremely easy. The AFDI-5v comes with three wires and the small voltage converter. The wire colors are as follows1. Blue/White = connect wire to the aftermarket radio's amplifier turn on wire (will most likely be another blue/white wire)2. Black= this is the ground and should be connected to the chassis ground found in your wiring harness3. Blue/Red= connect to the vehicles amplifier turn on wire (find that wire on your vehicle wiring harness, most likely be blue/white)*Make sure you install this product before you completely solder your aftermarket head unit to the vehicle harness or else you will have to cut and re-solder a few wires. Not a big deal, but it's one extra step

This product work good stop the noise popping on my stereo what is advertised

Well the instructions were a little vague. But I fumbled my way through it. Used on my rear defroster . I did find they had the wire either soldered wrong or directions were wrong on wire color .Other than that everything is working now

Had a major retailer/installer put a new radio head in my Ford Taurus, said the loud pop was normal, all aftermarket radios with built in amps did that and would just have to get used to it. Found this product, installed it myself, and now it doesnt sound like I'm getting shot at each time I turn the car on. Works GREAT! Just follow the directions.

This step down resistor is necessary if you have the Ford Mach audio system and plan to keep the stock amplifiers. If not, you will notice a "pop" sound from your speaker. The step down resistor will regulate the voltage coming from your aftermarket stereo from 12V to 5V to prevent overload so to say resulting in the pop. Plan out your wiring before your solder your connections and when you feel comfortable with it, make your connections and install.

Si lo que quieres es una instalacion plug and play sin la necesidad de cortar o puentear cables poniendo en riesgo el sistema electrico de tu auto estos arneses son una excelente solucion.

Funciono tal y como lo anuncian, sin mayor dificultad para su instalacion! Recomendable.

Facil de instalar y funcionamiento de acuerdo a lo que menciona en la descripcion

I took the output from a Kenwood Head unit for turning on amplifiers it is 12 volts output and connected it to the 12 volt input of the Axxess Interface AFDI-5V .The output of the Axxess Interface AFDI-5V (5 volt out) I connected (in parallel) to 2 Ford 100 watt RMS amplifiers in a Ford Mustang MACH 460 sound system and no problem supplying enough current to turn them on.The Axxess Interface AFDI-5V ground is grounded to the Kenwood head unit ground wire.This is to stop the turn on thump from the subwoofers;12 volts makes them turn on to soon ;they require 5 volts for the proper time delay. No problems during a long 16 hour drive in my car.

There was supposed to be 2 colored ones and one black for ground but there were 2 blacks and only one colored made it a little more of a hassle to install also didn't look like picture (not a huge deal but fyi)
