Updated Replacement for the Cicada HDTSLINKv2
The HDTSLINKAR-B replaces the previous HDTSLINK and HDTSLINKv2 factory-radio harness with a more flexible amplifier connection system.
The updated removable RCA connections allow the harness to integrate with compatible four-channel amplifiers using conventional low-level RCA inputs. Installers using Cicada Audio amplifiers can instead use the built-in four-position Molex connector for a cleaner direct connection.
This dual-connection design removes the old limitation that prevented the previous harness from connecting directly to certain amplifier platforms.
