[BostonJon]

Does anyone have the wiring colors for the 99 SR5 stereo? Trying to fix the rats nest the PO left me.

This is 2000. '99 is the same.

Thanks you, but I’m either misreading this or mine is different. I have two white connectors in my dash, one smaller and one larger. This diagram doesn’t seem to reflect two separate connector does it?

Solid white will be the front/left + speaker. White with black stripe will be the front/left -. Are you saying you have 2 solid white wires?

No no - not wires. Connectors. I have one white connector that has a few more wires than the other.

Makes sense now. Two connectors were for the old OEM amp that gets pulled when installing an aftermarket radio. If you're trying to install an OEM radio you'll need to find an OEM amp to plug into.

I am replacing an aftermarket Kenwood radio that has failed. There are still two separate white OEM connectors being used and I’m trying to figure out which wires are which.

Can you post a pic?

 

[BostonJon]

Not my pic but my connectors are the same as the two near the #4. They are the OEM male connectors.

#3 goes to nothing. It would go to an OEM of you had one. The lower two go to your new radio. Remove the amp, and see what I'm saying.

Yes I know WHERE they go, but what I’m trying to get is the specific pin outs (wire colors and functions) for the wires in those two connectors.

WTF are you trying to do? But a wireness, and all you need to do is plug them together. Don't pull pins, and remove the connectors. Just buy the $8 harness.

Unless I'm missing something? Maybe this? There's nothing else that can be provided at this point.

Im not pulling pins. I’m looking for something like this

Wire Color Function
blue / white Front Left +
Blue Front Left -
Yellow 12V
Brown Ground

Follow the link in my previous post. Also, just Google "3rd Gen 4runner stereo wiring diagram", and you get tons of hits.

Sure it does. See the little A's and B's? They refer to Plugs R1 and R2 respectively, pin-outs shown in the attached and which match your pic.:

The previous owner didn't leave you a rats nest. That is the factory wiring setup.

Are you trying to install another aftermarket deck? If so, just go out and buy a harness like the ones made by Metra. Then wire that into the harness in the aftermarket deck and plug it into #4 and #5 and remove the factory amp.

#1 and #2 are both for the antenna. Most are fine with just using the main front antenna line (#1), but if you want to use both, you'll need to buy an adapter and combine them into one.
