thank you for making this video, would have saved me a lot of time if i found it sooner

Thank you for making this video.

Great video! Really appreciate you making this one"

Thanks a lot. I freaked out when the Metra harness I bought did not fit the stock harness. All I had to do was disconnect the stock amp like you showed.

How do you find a wire harness for this model I can't find any harness's anywhere they are all different connections.

Thank you!

Duro!! Sublime!!

Gracias!

Thank you.

I have a 2000 model does it have a fuse on the back of the stereo

I have a question. My 2000 Toyota 4Runner radio does not want to turn on. I took it apart and found 3 cables that weren't plugged into anything. I found out that two of the white cables were suppose to be plugged into the amp, which weren't, but even after I plugged them in the radio didn't turn on. There is still a grey cable that is not plugged into anything and I can't seem to find anything to plug it into. In your video at about 3:33 when you start talking about the amplifier, I see something brown with what seems like the grey cable plugged into. I don't have that brown part in my car, do you happen to know what it is and if it is required for my radio to work? I've checked the fuses but they are all good. Thanks for your help

thanks buddy

Please guys I need the model of harness for the premium stereo just like in the video... does any one know the harness model???

Why do you have the power on?

hello . I have a 2001 4runner and coincidentally I just bought that same stereo solo. I don't have the adapter that goes to the car connector. Could you tell me where to get it?

Thank you. Removing from a 2002.

Do you happen to know what newer model Toyota 4Runner radio with Bluetooth can fit into a 2001 Toyota 4Runner without modifying plastic panels?

Shouldn't the battery be disconnected

keep in mind not all gen threes are the same. Doing my 98 Limited, the cover around the shifter will not come all the way out, there is a little screw on the 4WD lever that is holding the knob in place. Mine won't come off, so the cover will tilt out of the way, but not come off. ( a drag, because I would want to detail everything) Next, the face plate (mine is wood grain with the vent, defogger, etc. stuff) do not try to yank off! There are two tiny Philips head screws on the left of the heater controls, and a third, on the upper left, a bi hard to see. Yanking will snap them! Also pull off the knobs first. Next, you'll have to pull off the back connectors for the 4 way flashers, the rear defroster and the horn. handy to label those. Also, you'll need to remove the power and the lights from both the cigarette lighter and the little bulb in the ashtray. Good time to change those bulbs. You might be able to work on the radio without removing, but the cover was in the way, plus after 23 years and 280k miles it needed to come out to be detailed and some of the scuffed paint touched up. I never like to put back dirty parts! its still a bitch, as I was trying to get out the antennae, but no go. I thought that perhaps pulling the radio would give me the antennae, than I could somehow snake it out and run a new one! Not so easy by a long shot. No demo video of changing fixing the antennae shows pulling the whole assembly and swapping out the cord.

What causes a radio to stop working in 2002 4Runner it keeps blowing a fuse for it

I like it because it is easy to remove the factory Radio.

Can you show me a 1993 4 Runner removal of radio.

Como se Llama El adactador para El radio

Is there a fuse for this stereo? I don't find it anywhere!!

im real glad I watched my dumb ass would have removed the airbag light

is there a reason to have key in iginition?

I installed a Pioneer 2 DIN in my 2000 4Runner today. I wanted to mention one detail. Remove the factory amp. Using one of the adapter harnesses that you attach to the Pioneer pigtail, you will attach the two connectors to the two that you removed from the back of the factory amp. The wires will NOT be color coded the same on the factory connectors. For example, the black ground wire becomes a brown ground wire. But assuming you connected the adapter harness correctly to the Pioneer pigtail, the connectors will work. I have the Toyota color-coded wiring schematic book for my 4Runner and I confirmed that the wires do match even though most of the colors are different on the connectors in the dash. The orange wire coming from the Pioneer was not used for my wiring. And for God's sake, disconnect the battery ground before doing all this! Better safe than sorry.
