Hi all, Can anyone please help with the wiring to and from the amplifier on a 2005 RX300, non VDU/Satnav system. I have searched all the UK and Yankee forums but can find no reference to this actual vehicle, they are either pre 2002 vehicles or those with the posh radio and display units.
There is nothing wrong with the existing sound system, in fact it is extremely good but I propose to fit a Clarion head unit with GPS, Bluetooth and DVD etc, bypassing the existing amp.. The existing OEM radio is a Pioneer with piggy back 6 CD changer and has two 20 pin plugs on the back, one physically smaller than the other with only a couple of connection that connect to the steering wheel controls and the other 20 pin plug has 16 connections, two of which are supply of course and some of the others go to the amplifier but others I can not determine where they disappear to. There are also two aerial plugs, one normal ISO size but the other is unusually smaller, about half the size - any ideas ??
The amplifier also has two 20 pin plugs, one smaller than the other. The larger one has 16 pins connected and obviously connect to the various speakers. The smaller one has 15 connections and I can identify a few of these that go to the radio 20 pin but the others I have been unable to identify..
Can anyone please help with the various connections and destinations of the colour coded wires..
Whooops, made a mistake !! The amplifier has a 24 pin plug in two rows of 12 one row is not used at all but the other row has 10 connections , some of which come from the radio.
The output plug from the amplifier has 21 pins arranged one row of 12 with 9 connections and one row of 9 pins with 7 wire connections.
Surely I can't be the only one who has wanted to change the OEM radio/CD with an aftermarket multimedia head ?? There are a number of suppliers selling a replacement double din facia !!
Many thanks.
