so ive been rocking the oem cd player for the past 4yrs. since i got an ipod for xmas, i thought it was finally time to replace the oem one with something that had at least a line in so that i can play the ipod in the car.
i went with an alpine 9851. anyone else got the same unit? any opinions?

The wiring part should be easy, and you shouldn't have to rip the wires off of the stock amp. Leave it all intact and just make a run to Circuit City or Best Buy and ask for a wiring harness for a 98 Celica. Because I have the 8 speaker sound system, I used a Toyota Avalon harness after finding out that it would work and all my stock wiring to the amps is intact still. No need to change it unless you really want to.
I think the standard harness made for the 6th generation almost anywhere is for the 6 speaker setup, so finding one is easy at places like I mentioned. Just connect the leads from the wiring harness to the harness leads from the Alpine and you should be good to go....just plug it right in and turn it on. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

So does the avalon wiring harness power the 8" subs off the head unit? Seems like that's a lot to power by itself. |
