Metra 70-1003 In-Dash Radio Wiring Harness for 1998-2003 Kia

Putting a new radio in a Sephia, Sportage, Spectra, Rio or Sedona from this era means dealing with a factory connector no aftermarket receiver matches. The Metra 70-1003 handles it: the OEM plug snaps into the back of the dash opening, and the other side gives you color-coded leads that line up with standard aftermarket radio wiring, so power, ground, illumination, accessory and all four speaker pairs are labeled by color instead of guesswork. Nothing in the vehicle harness gets cut or spliced, so the car goes back to stock whenever you want it to. The leads are seven inches long and pre-stripped, giving you slack to make solid crimped or soldered joints outside the dash and then fold them back in. Metra builds the harness with flexible GXSL wire that carries full power from a modern head unit to the speakers, and the terminals are hand-assembled and pressure-sensitive so they hold their seat in the connector body through years of vibration. Heat-resistant insulation suits a spot behind the dash. Lifetime warranty from Metra.
