Stereo Pinouts Help!

[Wazz72]

Does anybody know where i can find a stereo wiring diagram for a 93 j'speck? Taken the old Toyota stereo out and im trying to install a VDO Dayton one, but the connetors are different and im going to have to use the fly leads.

thanks

Listen to them... DONT CUT THE LOOM! :conf:

Autoleads PC2-17-4 From Halfords or any other car audio dealer.

The one on Ebay is dirt cheap!

I HAVE to second this... dont cut the loom.. it looks awful, and is a bodge, just get the adaptor as Matt says, it only costs a tenner or so and makes it a quick job instead of mucking around with soldering iron/chocolate block.

all the adapters to ISO I have seen so far are to large, and have small flat spade like connectors on them, do they make one with the round pins (8 at the bottom, 2 banks of 3 at the top) to fit the loom. The stereo that was connected was the origonal toyota one.

[Matt Harwood]

You're trying to connect to the wrong plugs. If you trace that cable down, it'll be heading towards the passenger side, inside the dash, down towards the tunnel. You'll then come to a pair of plugs from the same bit of loom. These two are the ones you need to be connecting to. Unplug them and you'll find the Autoleads plug will go straight in.

The one you're using, heads off to the stock amp, (which is crap, and deserves bypassing), the ones you want, are the other ones in the amps wiring harness.

Thanks Matt, Ive traced the connector down the right side of the passenger foot well, but could not see any more connectors, it just dissapears into a plastic tunnel in the left of the center console, under the stereo.

[Matt Harwood]

The plastic trunking is the bit you're looking for. You'll have the cable that goes to the radio, then two more plugs that plug in to the top of that plastic trunking. They're the ones.

Thaks for all your help, now fixed it. you were right Matt, i was looking at the wrong set of wires. Std adapter fits and works fine.

Glad you got it sorted. Much nicer than cutting the wiring harness around.
