This was really helpful in getting the correct harness for the JBL! Amplifier. Thanks! If I recall, the factory speakers are 6-3/4” in the front with something close to 1-3/4” mylar cone tweeters in the A-pillars, (usually these would be replaced with 6-1/2” & 1-1/8” aftermarket components), 6”x9”’s in the back deck. When I get to changing them, I’ll test the amp and see about what power it makes. I’m guessing by it’s sound that it’s getting no more than 45 watts per channel, which is more than twice as much if it were powered by a non-JBL Delphi head unit. I also have that problem with the crappy volume knob on mine. A squirt of Deoxit Fader cleaner F5 helps, but doesn’t fully fix the problem.

Thanks Bro exactly what I needed. Hopefully this has encouraged others to do their own install because it really is easy to do with a little patience and the right directions.

You don't have to turn the key in order to get the shorter back. In front of the shifter is a little pull tab take that out and push the button in while taking back the shift normally.

thank you so much for making this video is was very helpful!

This was a very helpful video. Thank you! I replaced the stereo in my 1999 Toyota Solara Coupe with factory JBL System, with a JVC KW-R930BTS (Same as Kenwood) (The stereo that Toyota used was actually a Fujitsu Ten, Toyota Number = 86120-AA020 - I bought the car new). * However, The Metra Harness 70-8113 DOES NOT fit. For the 1999 Toyota Solara w/JBL you need Metra 70-8112. Also, it's not specified, but besides connecting the Red, Yellow and Black wires, you need to connect the Blue/white wires. The Blue/white wire may be marked "Power Antenna" (which I don't have), but it's actually the "Power On" for the Amp.

Following this video (and one for stereo removal from my car) I was able to install a Kenwood deck in my 2001 Avalon (with the JBL system). I tried to follow the wiring diagrams for the stereo and the wiring harness but got a little confused with the extra wires. Here’s where I wound up with a fully working system: Match red, yellow, blue/white wires. Combine two blacks with the other as mentioned in the video. RCAs (if available) will connect to the back of the deck. I didn’t have any cables connected to the subwoofer inputs on my deck. I had an extra blue wire on the harness, and several extra wires on the deck (including the 8 wires for the speakers, the brown, and at least one other). There was an extra antenna-type cable in the dash that wasn’t used. Soldering makes for a cleaner install but isn’t completely necessary. Wire nuts will also make for a good connection if used correctly.

You totally skipped the amp turn on did you put it on the remote 12v?

That is the harness i need for my 2001 camry! But i dont need the auxilary outputs!? Is there regular speaker wires ( L+, L-, R+, R-) ext.?

Am I required to but the harness for the radio? And the splicing?

Keep the old unit just in case the new one messes up. Had one mess up over 8 months and went out for warranty and luckily I had my old one I used during the repair process.

Thanks for the help

I had to reference this video again. Does anyone know what that extra little antenna is for? I just replaced that Delphi piece of crap with a Pioneer. The rest stock JBL and front speakers for now. 6x9’s in the rear deck surrounds are gone, so those are disconnected for now. Just replacing that head unit makes a HUGE difference. Not only in volume, but resolution, clarity, less noise, as well, and more dynamic. That Delphi unit was like listening the speakers through a pillow. This is the first time I’ve done a head unit with stock speakers. Usually I do head unit and speakers, or head unit, amps, and speakers and subwoofer, so I never expected it to sound that good.

Very good job! looks awesome! 👍

For an 01’ Camry with JBL, I have the same exact harness adapter you used in this video but my issue is not knowing what connections I need on the receiver. Looks like you plugged in those colored rca type plugs into the RCA outputs of the receiver? So in order to plug those in I would need a minimum of two pairs of RCA pre out on the receiver? I have a small single din that I want to utilize but it only has two rca outputs; one red (right) and one white (left). The wiring diagram on the package of that harness adapter is also questionable so I’m not sure what the purple, mint colored plugs are for. Any advice would be appreciated!

hey, i have a 2001 Camry LE, with the JBL included same connections as yours, i was wondering do you know where the amp is located and if its easily accessible? i have put aftermarket dual 6 by 9 speakers replacing the rear speakers and i want to know the output on the amp, the duals are 200 watt's each. and i also wanted to know if the amp is easily replaceable if it is under powering them.

I dont know how to pair bluetooth should i replace my radio?

On my adapter I have 3 ground wires, one ground and two amp grounds. What do I do with the two amp grounds? Can I connect all three together with the radio ground? I tried doing that but got a some static on the speakers and was wondering if the ground wires were the issue or if it was something else. (I'm trying to keep using factory amp btw) I have Jbl speakers

VERY NICE!!

Did this got alt feed back...

Please help I have 2000 Toyota Avalon xls there is only 1 plug .I bought the aftermarket amplified wiring harness and the deck I'm wiring is similar to the Kenwood only jvc. There is no second plug for speaker wires and it powers on but I have no sound I was expecting the rca wires to substitute for all the speaker wires and I'm guessing that's not the case. Please point me towards the solution to wire this deck up. I stumbled across someone saying you have to wire the speakers from deck directly to factory amp located under passenger seat? Im replacing a broken factory jbl deck.

Man, where did you get that carbon dash trim? (sorry i dont know what its called) I would really love to change mine from stock to that carbon. Thanks in advance!

Why didn't you bypass the JBL amp and use the amp in the Kenwood? Would that risk blowing out the speakers? Is there a unique way you have to wire the harness to ensure the JBL amp is used and not the Kenwood?

Thank you for the great video and info. I have a Alpine INE-W940 head unit to install in a 01 Camry with the factory JBL system with the same HU you took out of this car. Would it be better to by-pass the factory JBL amp and just use the amp in the Alpine? I'm also changing out speakers to some good CT-Sounds component speakers and dampening the doors. So mail need to know if should by pass the JBL amp. And how to do that and should use the same harness you did on the Kenwood? The Alpine has front/rear/sub rca outputs.

I have a 2001 Solara convertible which also has a JBL subwoofer, any idea how I wire to also use the sub ?

Great job! I'm about to do the same upgrade to my 01 camry. I'm wondering where did you get the trim? It looks great.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry with a JBL unit and I upgraded to DVDNavigation system but I can’t get my steering wheel to control the volume is there anyway to make this thing work without buying any more equipment

Removed everything except the ashtray light bulb. It won't come out, turning it while trying pulling it out. No go.

Did you replace the shift knob cover? If so where did you get it? If you replaced the whole shift knob, where did you get it? Thanks

Is there any way around the sauter, I’m 19 and just trying to get an aux in my car

Would the process be the same for a Kenwood BTX503?

Why does there need to be a different harness for the JBL system?

very nice video well done

Great video....I found it too late....

could somebody explain why he connected one black cable from new headunit to the two black wires on the harness that connects inside in the car? is that even safe?

My speakers in my Camry have gone out or are in the process of going out, probably from previous owner. Which Amazon replacement would you recommend? If you have the link that would be great.

Damn now that i have a 2000 xle i feel like im lost. So i cant use a regular harness for my car? And is there any way i can get around soutering?i dont have those tools at my disposal. Im trying to make it a diy cause im on a budget

My 97 maxima had the same problem...THE FIX. was WD40 spray..with the red straw sprayer...Spray the knob, or better yet behind the knob and begin to turn it back and forth....Not to much spray....a little by little. ....that shall work.

I have a 2001 Camry CE. I don't know if it has JBL. I think it doesn't have JBL though. Can I still use this video for the installation?

Can you change factory headlight to LED lights?

Is an antenna adapter needed?

I like how he used the informal german hello and goodbye gruß gött and tsuß pr tsucß how ever you spell it

Will this bypass the stock amp?

I bought the Kenwood DPX 501bt and a set of wires that didn't have the RCA plugs. My 2000 Solara does have JBL. There are 2 plugins in the right rear where the radio fits. The kit I bought had female plugs for both of those what look like are speaker plugins plus power and ground to the larger male plugin. Anyway, I bought the plug that has the RCA plugs and even though it looks easier, you do not show where that white female plug goes that has the RCA connectors and the power wires from the radio. Yours shows that all of the individual speaker wires are taped up and not used. But that cable has to plug into something and you never showed where it went! It looks like one of the male plugins goes to 2 speakers and the other one goes to the other speakers and power and other controls, some used, some not. It looks like if the smaller male plug behind the radio opening has to have something to feed the other speakers, not sure if front or rear. Other than that I rearlly enjoyed the video, was helpful. Thanks

How many inches is the radio?

Mate there's content on the net that isn't licensed. Lame.

My camry has one block and 2 plugs . Need help

Modelo del streo nuevo

Put it in low ???

i thought i would lose the amp if i put on aftermarket radio

You didn't explain the wiring.

Skipped the ground?

Can I have Apple Car play in my 2000 Camry?

I came back to this video because my original Toyota headunit crapped out. So with the soldering I match the colors red to red , yellow to yellow, and when I mesh the two ground wires to the one black ground? There’s also that stray blue wire next to the red is there a blue wire I also have to match? I’m a little confused and sorry if I sound dumb.

I was lost at 4:35...

Honestly...I just want the stock cassette deck back...yes I’m weird.

Don't recycle it, sell it!! $$$$

Not good enough

This guy talks to much.
