hey guys...
need some massive help with a complicated project! this is the situation: i bought my AE86 (1985 corolla gt-s) with no stereo, no speakers, no antenna, and with a cut wire harness. i've purchased a 2008-2009 yaris oem head unit as my replacement stereo. here's some pictures of the stereo:this is info for the stereo:
why not aftermarket? i want to keep it lowkey and oem because most aftermarket radios seem too flashy for the AE86, keep in mind it's a car from 1985 so plain black, simple knobs, etc does it for me. would've been cool if it had a cassette player (keep the retro flavor) but i want to play my ipod too, so i can trade off on the tape player for AUX capability of the stereo. anyways, the first thing i've been trying to figure out is how to connect the yaris stereo to my car since i have no wiring/my car's wire harness has been cut. i've gotten in touch with tech support at scotsche and they've told me i should be able to get the stereo to work with the following wire harness (TA02B): basically, according to them the connectors should plug into the back of the radio and i can hard wire or splice the wires that are left from the connectors into what's left of my car's wiring harness using the electrical diagram they've sent me and the stereo should work.http://www.scosche.com/car-audio/product/682 these are the diagrams they sent me:
however, i was taking a look at a different harness and in my opinion it looks the connectors for this one (TA02RB) looks more like the ones i would need to plug into the back of the radio? am I wrong? what do you guys think? I don't want to buy the wrong harness since I'm actually located in South America, and shipping anything down here is a pain. Plus buying the wrong harness and finding out it was the wrong one would be very disappointing after waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive!http://www.scosche.com/car-audio/product/683 what do you guys think? TA02RB or the one scostche suggested TA02B? also is that the right electrical diagram i would need??? after that, i need to buy an antenna, since my car has none. i prefer the shaved antenna look, so i'm looking for one of those nice hidden electrical antennas. thinking about something like this for that problem: what do you guys think?http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Antenna.../dp/B001QYSXAS finally, here's the hard part: i've also purchased a Toyota USB/AUX JACK ADAPTER from a Tundra/Tacoma (Toyota Part # 86190-0C020). i want to try to see if i can get the AUX input for the yaris stereo to work through this adapter. here's some pictures of it:
i figure the USB won't work for the ipod conection, but if it can at least charge the ipod it would be awesome. does anybody know what type of harness (what part number) i would need to get from toyota to connect this USB/AUX adaptor to the stereo??? i've attached pictures of my car and the way it looks like right now without a stereo (you can see the hole in the center console).
also here's a picture of the same stereo in another AE86, proving that it is possible!
i know this is crazy, but i could really use the help guys. i have no idea what i'm doing! any suggestions would be appreciated! :) |
