Toyota Stereo Options/Wiring Harness
Hi. My wife just gave me the go-ahead to replace the factory double-din CD
and cass. player in our 1998 Toyota Sienna. Now, before I did anything, I went online to www.installer.com to see what was available for harnesses to plug into the factory harness once I remove the radio. After doing a quick google search and finding a few newsgroup articles, it seems apparent that there are some issues with aftermarket harnesses. From what I've read, some of the pins don't match up, the wiring is not right and the above website seems to be the only one who has the right harness. My trouble is, I'm not sure which Toyota system I have. Mine is actually two seperate DIN units, one is the radio with cass. deck and the other is just a standalone CD player. Both have Toyota printed on the face, so I'm assuming these are not aftermarket Bose or Delco type systems. I'm going to check the manual, but I don't recall there being much detail in it. Apparently, there may also be a factory amp mounted under the storage in the center console, that may have to be bypassed. Anyone know much about the Toyota factory stereo options and aftermarket harnesses? The second problem I ran into is trying to remove the mid-panel speakers. They are fastened to a plastic adaptor with screws and apparently adhesive of some sort. With the screws removed, the speaker will not budge. I know I could easily take a glass bar and mallet and try to break them free, but I don't want to damage the plastic mounting adaptor. Is there any secrets to removing these, or should I just keep working at it with the glass bar? Are the front door speakers the same way, or are they just screwed to the metal door frame like most door speakers? Third, seeing as how we have a three year old daughter, and I already have an Almani DVD single-DIN receiver I plan to use, I would like to purchase a pair of headrests with monitors already mounted in place. I've seen a bunch on Ebay, but I'm honestly not sure if they're any good or garbage. I just want a monitor, prefer with remote, without a DVD player built in, I'll let the receiver handle that. Any reccomendations would be welcome. Thanks for any help, Sharky |
