OK. Well I got a new deck and I'm wanting to install it. I got the wiring harness for the 87up Toyota cars...but it wont go at all...not even close...BUT as I was looking online the GM one for 88up GM cars looks like it will match right up...hmmmm any ideas?

Those are power wires, and that's how it works with the factory amps. Power routes to the amp first and then onto the head unit. The harness is only meant for aftermarket HUs with pre-amp outs, and I'd think that if a deck has pre-amp outs, it would have at least 4 channels (FL, FR, RL, RR) and you connect these to the 4 RCA jacks. Then the other 4 wires are battery, ignition, ground and antenna/amp turn on. Several MR2 owners are using this harness already once I told them about it. The factory amps in the MR2 is a lot more involved than the 6g Celica if you want to bypass them. My Toyota repair manual does show 2 amps, but there's no info on them. Does anyone have the electrical manual so I can see how the amps are wired? If I can see how they're wired, I'm sure I could figure out and tell you what options you have if you wanna reuse the stock amps. One last thing, the 2nd smaller antenna lead: On the "higher end" factory Toyota stereo systems, Toyota put in a 2nd diversify antenna. It's usually embedded in the windshield or rear glass. I was looking thru the Celica brochures I have and it seems like this 2nd antenna is only available on the hatchbacks; not the coupes or convertibles. If that's correct, then my guess is the 2nd antenna is embedded in the hatch glass. Depending how good your HU's reception is, you might be able to use just that antenna if you wanna ditch the power antenna. You'd need to find an adapter of some sort, to fit this in the larger typical antenna lead tho. Otherwise, you can just leave that antenna disconnected. |
