iDatalink Maestro A2B-AR-FO4 Amplifier Replacement Harness for Select Ford Vehicles with A2B amplifiers

Let’s talk about upgrading your sound system without diving into a maze of wires. The iDatalink Maestro A2B-AR-FO4 is a game-changer for anyone looking to swap out the factory amplifier in select Ford vehicles equipped with A2B systems. It’s designed to make the switch as smooth as possible—no guesswork, no wire cutting, just plug-and-play simplicity with pro-level results.

Why This Harness Makes Your Life Easier

If your Ford Escape or Fusion came with a Sony amplified system, chances are it’s running on a digital A2B (Automotive Audio Bus) system. That’s where the iDatalink Maestro A2B-AR-FO4 steps in. It's the bridge between your new aftermarket amplifier and your vehicle’s existing wiring setup.

Think of it as an audio translator. Your factory amp speaks digital, your new amp speaks analog—this harness helps them get along. It connects everything together using three pre-built harnesses, allowing your new system to work like it was made for your car. And the best part? You still get to use your tone controls, fader, and other built-in audio features like nothing ever changed.

What’s in the Box?

The kit comes fully loaded with everything you need to make the switch:

• A 17" main harness with a built-in 7.5A mini fuse
• A 17" speaker harness
• A 7" RCA harness
• A 17" 2-pin harness
• A 4" 2-pin harness

All these pieces are vehicle-specific and custom-designed to slot right into your car’s existing connections—like snapping Lego bricks together.

Smooth Integration with Aftermarket Amps

This harness doesn’t just connect things—it smartly connects them. It offers 6-channel RCA inputs to hook up your aftermarket amp and 6-channel speaker wire outputs to tie back into your Ford’s speaker system. No need to rerun speaker wires through your entire car. Just plug into the factory wiring, and you're golden.

Even better? It works hand-in-hand with the iDatalink Maestro A2B module (sold separately), which handles the digital-to-analog conversion. That means your new system will keep the sound quality high and the integration tight.

Compatible Ford Models

Here’s the deal: the A2B-AR-FO4 is tailored for very specific models. If your ride matches one of these, you’re good to go:

• Ford Escape (Sony Amplified System) – 2017 to 2019
• Ford Fusion (Sony Amplified System) – 2017 to 2020

If your car isn’t on this list, this harness isn’t for you. But if it is, this setup is about as plug-and-play as it gets.
