There is a harness up in the upper right corner of the opening. Unplug that, and use the harness that came with your dash kit for Toyota. It will be the same as a Non-JBL system. Hope this helps, PM me if you have questions.

you need to get a harness that plugs and plays with your stock one. so you do have to splice stock wires. for the wires missing if you track that harness it will lead to near the glove box thats where you find the second wire that you will need. your aftermarket harness comes with two plugs

You can get that same harness from ebay for alot cheaper

I bought my harness at Walmart for less than $9.
You only need one harness for import car, you will see if it fit on the back of the product (list of cars).

it's something like that http://walmart.scosche-cars.com/product ... tID=896348




It's easy to install with that, no soldering, no fire risk, a clean job.

if you ordered from crutchfield they offer you free tech support just a headsup if you did.

I want the "tech" to say "You plug one side on the connectors and the other side on your new radio".

go to best buy or any car audio place and buy the universal wiring harness for toyota 93+. from there you just color match and butt connect all those wires to the wiring harness that comes with your receiver then you just plug in and voila. also there is a factory amp, you must disconnect that.

to get to it you just take out the stock unit, reach inside towards your right and the two plugs to the stock amp should be right there, unplug those and youre good. lol i just did figured all this stuff out last week.

Also, for your antenna, i dont think there is an adapter for it should it not fit into your new receiver. All i did was plug it inthere until i got clear reception and then i electrical taped it

those are the harnesses you need. The adapter harness can be bought from Circuit City, its an MET801761 and it cost $19.99. Tell them Adam sent you from the KEIZER Oregon store and you can get it for $6.99

your welcome.

Also stay away from scoshe.... please, I do not wish to see your cars burst into flames people.

Its ALL about Metra and Tsunami

Nothing will burn, it's a plug adapter man, you can buy one made with gold if you want, but it will not improve the safety or sound better then the walmart stuff.

[AkiraSLE]

haha well thats exactly right, it "is" a plug adapter. Which is by no means "soldered" for a perfect a connection. When you are using plugs you need to insure that the pins are not gapped too far apart so that the female plug doesn't create an intermittent problem with a speaker not functioning properly or losing power when you hit a bump.

Scosche is notorious for manufacturing harnesses at a poor quality rate. Metra on the other hand is guaranteed for performance.

Yes I am modest when it comes to 12V, but I am here to help.

actually, i think one made entirely out of gold might be slightly more dangerous lol
