Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker

We changed-out the factory AM/FM stereo head unit to a contemporary Bluetooth one on our 1980’s Toyota.This was a perfect “pig-tail” plug that mated to the factory wiring harness.This plug helped us save the factory wiring harness without hacking into it & allowed us to expand the system from two to four speakers.

Simply put I would never do an install without the Metra harness. I highly recommend using the harness to put an aftermarket car stereo into your Toyota ....1) With both the new car stereo and Metra harness in hand I was able to begin my wire connections in the comfort of my home so that the installation would be a plug-n-play once I went to remove the old and install the new. I was able to work with all the tools and materials in home as opposed to battling space, lighting and/or the weather in the car.2) If you use the Metra harness you'll preseve original Toyota harness(es) which means if for whatever reason you can plug-and-play between the old and new stereos .. for example you install the new stereo then later go to sell the car and determine to keep your new stereo and so you reinstall the old stereo. This is easily done having kept your Toyota harness in place as opposed to clipping and hard-wiring. 3) You never know when you might need the original harness connectors in place. Below is a cut-n-paste of the product review I did for my Pioneer receiver I installed where I highlight the Metra harness I used. The close of my write up share a comical look at how I had to use my old Toyota connectors and where the Metra harness made that possible.Here is a copy-n-paste of another review I did that gives a real life application using the Metra harness ...(Product Review for Pioneer FH-X820BS CD Receiver)Simple to install. Tools I used: philips screwdriver, 10mm rachet, and a trim pry tool (most folks just use a flathead screwdriver). I installed my Pioneer FH-X820BS into a 2001 Toyota Camry which had an OEM Toyota 16814 CD/AM/FM Receiver. To help I purchased the Metra 70-1761 wiring harness to simplify the wire connections. I recommend getting the right Metra harness for your car to simplify connecting the right wires to your car's wires plus an added benefit of being able (as I did) to connect all your wires in the comfort of your home/shop as opposed to dragging your tools and materials to the car where you might battle the heat (such was my case) or cold or poor lighting (else run down your car battery). When making your wire connections be sure to use crimps, tape or zip ties to secure all connections considering a need to pull the Pioneer unit back out at a later date for whatever reason; I used a small zip tie for every 2 wires I connected together and 1 large zip tie to bundle all wires together. When Installing the microphone be sure to leave enough slack in the wire behind the receiver should you need to pull the unit out at a later date. I also installed a new siriusxm receiver at the same time and in doing so I was again cautious to leave enough slack in the wiring for the sirius receiver behind the Pioneer receiver. Having already wired the Pioneer harness to the Metra harness (in the comfort of my home) I began to remove the old car stereo using a trim pry bar to pull away the trim from the front of the stereo which disclosed (4) 10mm hex nuts securing the stereo harness. I removed the hex nuts and then pulled the stereo. I then disconnected 2 Toyo wiring harnesses and the antennae wire from the back of the old stereo. I removed the stereo brackets on the old stereo and placed on the new Pioneer receiver. Next I connected the 2 Metra harnesses to the 2 Toyota connectors and began plugging everything into the back of the Pioneer receiver ... wiring harness, antennae wire, microphone wire, and sirius receiver wire. I pushed the new unit into placed and secured with the 4 hex nuts. I replaced the trim and was done.To add a little humor and real life to support some suggestions above ... just when I thought I was done I realized I left a CD inside of the old receiver which I wanted t keep. Remember when I said to secure your cables should you ever need to remove your new unit "for whatever reason" .. so, yes I uninstalled the new unit, plugged the old unit back in to power it up and eject the CD. BTW this exercise proved to be yet one more benefit to using the Metra harness ... by using a Metra harness and preserving the OEM Toyo harness I was able to truly plug-n-play both the old equipment and new equipment. Odds are if I sell this car I'll pull the Pioneer receiver and plug the old one back in which will be simple given the Metra harness.
