Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior cd player innstall

i got a new head unit and wanna innstall it, can i just take out the old one and see were the wieres are going in to the head unit and look for somthing simular on the new head unitt and innsert it there. i dont know any thing about car audio and do i need any new wieres since there was no new wieres with the player expect from some wiered once that is conected to each other with 3 exits

her is the back of the player

her is the connector wiers or somthing that was with the head unit in box

do i need any more things than that or can i use my old wiers or somthing im totoaly clue less on this

btw :the one conector on the wire the one that is at the bottom alone fits in the head units

you sholdve gotten a new wiring harness with the new radio..its usually a separate piece

EDIT: ok that looks like it could be the wiring harness been a while since i installed mine.

is it the one in the pic you mean, may be i did not post the pic uop before you answared

yeah i saw after i posted and then i edited it

hehe kk, so you think i can do it with just that harness and the stock wierres?

ok so you have a wiring harness that came with the head unit and the stock wire harness that was plugged into the stock head unit. If those two match...then you're lucky! If they don't...(not sure if many do in the first place) you need to buy an aftermarket wiring harness that plugs on to the stock wire harness, and has wires hanging out the other end. You will have to strip the ends of the wires from the aftermarket harness you bought, as well as the ends of the wires that are on the harness that came with your aftermarket head unit...and connect them together.

If you have a GTS with the 8-speaker system:
Your wiring harness that you buy aftermarket will come with an amp interface so you can use the stock factory amp. This will come with simple instructions so that you wire the aftermarket harness from the car into the interface, and then you wire the harness from your aftermarket unit into the other side of the interface...and u're ready to go. I installed an alpine head unit into my GTS...if you have any questions PM me

ok thanks, i tryed but the harrnes did not match,

sbocaj55: you need to buy an aftermarket wiring harness that plugs on to the stock wire harness

cant i use the stock harrnes?

You may need to change this two terminals for the (you can get it at any autoparts or stereo shop -around US$10)...

It looks to me like a SONY? Am I right?
I installed a Sony cdx-m630 in my car in about 30 min. Easy baby!

This may help.
1986 & up ($10) You can get it @ any autoparts or stereoshop, even internet

Color should match --it looks like colors are (?)



BTW you may want to get the mounting kit to cover the gaps. https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/thread.f_57396_0_collapsed_2__1.html
