Quick newb question about the PAC-SWI PS install:

 

Which harness in the Tacoma is the diagram below referring to?

..it doesn't appear to be any of the harnesses around the factory HU. I'm using PAC's Tacoma-specific guide here: http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/showstepbystep.asp?RadioGroupPioneer=0&InterfaceChecked=3&mmSearch=Toyota&Submit2=Search+Vehicles&ID=357

 

I'm beginning my install on my D3X in a couple days and have searched and read through a TON of posts and install guides here but haven't seen a specific reference to this harness or where it's located. I know i'm missing something obvious but it's time to ask the experts. :)

 

Thanks to all that I've learned here I know my install will go great once I lock down this detail. Thanks to everyone who posts all the great articles and info here... and thanks in advance for helping me out!

 

Cheers!

 

P.S. I'm documenting everything on this install so if it goes well, I plan on contributing a detailed install guide for the other Taco owners out there.

Figured it out. It's the only harness left over from the factory HU. :oops: "Ya don't fucking say?"

 

It only has three wires in it, all at the locations indicated in the PAC instructions. I'm retarded...

 

 

...gotta love it when you pwn yourself. :roll:

Wish I coulda helped but I had mine installed. I hope you find that it actually works better than with that POS 6 CD changer. Definitely quicker on the volume.

 

Just out of curiosity what did you go with for the face plate?
