Advice on harness

[severous01]

circuit city used to sell direct connect to major radio brands...but they out of business now

the only option you got now are splices or solder. i'd go solder, it's easier than you think and looks and performs better with no drop in voltages. plus, they dont corrode if you use solder. corrosion takes a long time with connectors but it's possible...not with solder

Actually the Metra 80-1761 has Toyota plugs on one end and a universal plug on the other end. You need another harness that is the universal plug to Pioneer. The Metra harness that has just wires on the end is a 70-1761. The link to Ebay you posted is the type of harness you need but I don't know if it the exact one you need because Pioneer has several different harnesses for their radios.

Corrosion happens regardless, solder, crimp, or mechanichal connections. The best way to "prevent" corrosion is to join two of the same type of metal (copper to copper, gold to gold, etc. to etc.) with a mechanical connection made of the same metal, and use a non-oxidizing compound gel over the connection.
