So I'm curious if I received/purchased the wrong harness adapter or if I'm just missing something. Every where I look for harness adapter, the one I have comes up though. (I have the 6 speaker, pre-amped stereo)
These are the ends of the harness adapter I already have wired up to my new deck ![]() This was plugged into the factory preamp and comes from underneath it ![]() This was plugged into the factory radio, the other end plugs directly into the factory preamp ![]() This is the other end that was plugged into the factory preamp. ![]() I know they make a harness adapter I can buy if I want to use the factory preamp ... but I don't. -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

I have the 6 speaker system as well. The harness I bought (Scosche) still runs through the factory amp. If I recall correctly, I did away with the harness that goes between the amp and factory head unit, and only used two plugs from the amp. I would have to look again to double check.

Thanks Rich, yeah I actually ended up finding a PDF made for 6gc's. Those 2 blue plugs are underneath the preamp and you gotta reach your hand underneath and pull them out. Ended up getting it.

They're a pain to get out. I tried removing my factory amp several years back but that killed all power to my head unit. I have up on that endeavor. Are you still going for the 8 speaker system?

^Not as of right now. If someone in the states, especially close by, were to sell a set of 8 speaker door trims ... I might take them up on it, if they were mint ... but I'm pretty happy with the sound I have now. The two plugs under the preamp aren't that hard to get, I'd try it again. I mean, they're not super easy but once I figured out which ones they were, it took me like 5 min to get them pulled out and reroute them to plug into the new harness.
I wanted to use the preamp in the new deck as it has more wattage output than the factory JBL preamp. It's loud! Any now I have my iPod plugged in and I can go through the albums and artists right on the touch screen without even using the iPod ... I like that convenience! -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S
