Hey guys I have a factory deck that I'm wanting to replace with my bluetooth JVC deck, however the connector on the factory deck is not something that is available up here in my town. My local Toyota dealer has "no clue" about this connector. All I want is either a harness that will fit to it, (ie anyone have an online source I can buy from) or if someone has the pin layout for the harness I can do a hard-wire connection to it.
one thing to note, this 4Runner has a power antenna on it, if it makes a difference.

I have attached photos of the deck and connector.

Thanks

Did you new headunit come with a plug connector harness? If so, its a cut and splice (match every color) job.
Is the connector you pictured the stock one? I assume so.
What is the model number of the new deck and give us the year/ specs of your 4Runner.

this is the part u want for your radio.. don't cut and splice the stock harness. unless u have to. and in this case u don't and it just might take a couple extra days to install it, also go by a stereo shop in your area they should also be able to have one. or parts store??

These posts are correct BUT!!!The plug you have pictured is the post-amp plug. You need to dig further down into the dash and find the factory amp. In fact, I can see your amp in the picture. It has the aluminum cooling fins on it. Unplug and remove the factory amp, THEN wire those plugs pictured in the link to your radio. It will be plug and play then.

Its very difficult to find a company that makes the plug to tie into that amp plug, and its unnecessary and expensive anyways. Once you unplug and remove the amp, the two remaining plugs will be all you need.

And whatever you do, DON'T cut into the factory wiring.

Btw here are the harness-side plugs you are looking for, that will be plugged into the amp:



Color may not be exactly the same (Some are Blue, some are White, some are Gray) but the plugs will be identical

so I basically remove everything until I find the 2 ends that you have provided and I should be good togo from there?

FYI: New deck is the JVC KD-A815, since using cell phones while driving is illegal in my province.

Correct. All you have to do is remove the amp to get to those plugs. Those two plugs are the "In" plugs for the amp, and the one in the picture you posted is the "out" for the amp. You need the "in" plugs, as illustrated in the picture I posted

Never cut the factory harness if you don't need to. Glad you got it working!
