Unplug the car harness from that amp and connect it to the adaptor harness that you should have got with the new unit, there should be a short harness section from that old amp to the current head unit you wont need anymore .

[right][snapback]286334[/snapback][/right] This is complete utter bull-crap. After more research and careful evaluation, what I have is Toyota's "Premium Sound." So, on the back, there is only one plug. I went back to my audio store in town, and told them i have a stock amp. They knew exactly what i was talking about, gave me a special plug in exchange for the old double plugs, and he said that's it. It has your basic, turn on wire for the stock and any other amp. it has 4 rca's input and output. Ground, Battery/Memory, Ignition/Accy, Power Antenna, and Amplifier Turn on. If you would like a picture, i would be glad to provide that. -------------------- The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dō Kyōshan – “You can not be what you do not believe you are” |

The "premium sound" system is the stereo with the separate factory amp. The amp has one plug going into it(from the receiver) and one plug coming out of it BUT splits into TWO plugs that go into the factory wiring. In order to use the factory wiring with an aftermarket HU you MUST do 1 of 2 things: a) plug into the 2 blue factory plugs or b) find an adaptor that plugs into the 1 plug coming OUT of the amp. I found it easier and cheaper to do "a" but I believe they do make adaptors to do "b". Either way, you have to bypass the amp or the signal will get amplified twice - and no, that's not a good thing. |
