RE: head unit/speakers
 

What year of car? What stereo did the car come with, factory installed?

Did the old stereo have a built-in amp or remote amp. Which harness did you replace, the complete harness or did you just install an adapter between the old harnes plug and new head unit? Did you use a prefabricated harness of actually spice into the wires?

Check the Toyota wiring harness colors to determine if it has the following wires:

Blue/yellow, Gray, Light Green Purple and Blue.

Do you have a list of inputs and outputs for the new radio, such as the xx color wire goes to power, xxx is left speaker positive output, etc.
