Ok I have an 05 4Runner with the JBL package, I ordered:

Kenwood DNX6990
Metra ASWC
Metra Turbo Wire
PAC TATO

Ok...so if anyone can help a newb out, Im trying to figure out how these harnesses connect.

First thing Im stuck on, steering wheel controls. I bought the Metra ASWC and I bought the Turbo Wire which cuts down the splicing necessary for the ASWC and make its more plug and play.



So when I hook this up Im not sure if I have to splice the female 3.5mm jack to the Kenwood steering wheel input on their harness or if Im supposed to use the rca's to the back of the radio...I dont think I have to use the rca's on the 70-8114 because the PAC TATO should be using up all the rca's on the back of the radio.

If anyone could walk me through or has pictures with 3.5mm jack or rca's on a Kenwood that would help me out, I dont see a 3.5mm on the radio itself (like a remote in) so I assume I have to grab the remote wire on the Kenwood harness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok second issue, the PAC TATO. Ive never used a harness like this before...usually every piece of the Kenwood harness gets plugged into every piece of the factory harness...so now I see it looks like I connect only 3-4 wires on the Kenwood harness to the TATO and then just plug the RCA's in?

It looks like I have a harness on the TATO and on the ASWC that look exactly the same...wondering if those two will be a conflict...



The harness tp the top/left but the plug on the right looks just like the harness on the 70-8114...

Ok so I answered one of my own questions,...the TATO comes with an 11 pin connector which is also connected to the connector that I have two of, because I went Metra on the steering wheel controls and PAC for the harness I guess I have to bypass this harness.

the harness to the top left looks like Ill just need to leave it out...now Im confused on whether I have to wire the female 3.5mm jack to the Kenwood harness or if the RCA's from the ASWC need to be used.

This is what I have now:




This last pic shows where Im a little stuck...I think that brown wire has to be connected into the kenwood remote harness and then the rca's just get capped up.

rca off the aswc, plug that to the kenwood on the av, usually the audio only, but u also have to remember to set the unit to have av or aux on. the 3.5mm plug,with that pig tail, find the kendwood lt blue/yellow on the harness, and use the brown wire, cap off the other.

I found some instructions online and pm'ed someone here, the kenwood harness has a remote in that I tied the brown wire on the female 3.5mm into and capped the brown/white wire...plugged into the aswc and everything sync'ed up beautiful. Pac tato gave me no issues either...extremely shocked lol usually I have a problem with every install..

..but there is one issue, I needed a Kenwood iPod cable and whenever I plug it in the iPhone syncs and unsyncs rapidly, looking at reviews on Amazon I might have a defective cable. If I get this squared away itll be the easiest install Ive done and it had the most harnesses Ive seen haha.
