Has anyone found an adapter to plug into the factory (base 6 speaker) radio harness? Any chance it's similar to the F150 or Ranger harness/plugs? For my previous F150 stereo upgrade, I was able to use a set of harness adapters(the same ones we used to use to replace our factory head units) and wire the amp power, speakers, remote turn on, etc all inline (aka Loopback). This was you're not splicing any wires downstream. Makes it easy if you ever want to swap it back to factory, swap in a new amp, etc.

Also, any luck on enabling the lower frequencies for the rear pod speakers via Forscan yet? I'd rather not give up my front/rear fade for the rear pods, knowing that someone will figure it out eventually.

picture attached for what I have in mind for the amp harness.. I'm planning to install a Kicker Key200.4

In a different radio thread, somebody posted about https://plugnplaykits.com/

Sounds like they may be coming out with something for the Bronco. And it taps into the head unit to provide signal to an app.

As for getting more signal to the rear pods, as far as I know nobody can sort that out yet. I know One of our members was comparing the forscan files between a system that had the JBL installed and a system without, and could not find any differences.... So it's not looking good.

Perfect.. just what i'm looking for. Now, which option should I select for my setup? I need a plug & play harness that supports:

1.) line-level inputs into my Key200.4 (already have) and 4 discreet channels back in to my factory wiring (I think this is called a 'loopback' harness?) I'm going to power my fronts with 2 channels and power my rears (for now) with the rear 2 channels. I would like to keep my fader intact if possible.
2.) a LOC converter that gives me a set of RCA outputs for my powered sub (Sound Ordinance B-8PT)

I looked through all of your options and didn't really see one that fit exactly fit. I think I probably need something like a #12 without the amp since I already have a Kicker Key200.4?

I am not currently offering the Harness by itself will be about three months until only the Harness is available
Does that mean that kits like #5,7,31 (harness only) currently aren't available?

The kicker key 200.4 kits are only being sold right now with the amplifiers those harnesses are unavailable as harness only . Kits 1-7 have really low quantity left . I am waiting for inventory from my factory and will be fully stocked in about 90 days
If I wanted to amp the dash and door speakers and have a sub, what kit do I need?

A pre-built bi-amp option would be a nice.

You could take the plug n play 200.4 + 500.1 kit and hack it up a bit. You would want to splice the rear channels coming out of the radio side into the rear channels that feed back into the stock harness. Then route the rear channels coming back from the amp to the doors, and the fronts to the dash.

@plugnplaykits Is there an option to bi-amp the front speakers with the Kicker Key 4 channel kit?

Look into LLJ custom audio they have harness only loop style available. I have been doing research myself and still can't decide.
