Hard wire radio

I have all these wires exposed any diagram to hardwire to aftermarket harnesses I have power and ground and accessories already done lost with the rest

 

Crutchfield doesn’t make an adapter harness or are you just trying to save money?

 

No I had a buddy said he would do the radio for me and he cut all the factory harnesses out and threw away now I'm stuck with no radio in it I bought a boss 10 inch adjustable screen one

 

I have some sound now but not full

 

I’m at a loss with that rear seat entertainment setup and the video.

 

I can go without that

 

Need help with these wires

 

What an asshole. Time to hit the junkyard and buy a new harness. And your buddy isn't a "buddy". He's a fucking asshole, and you should make him pay for the replacement harness and install. Do you know which of the three systems your truck had? Was it an amplified stereo system?

 

I wouldn’t be able to tell you how to hook into the existing amp, but if the radio has its own amp, you could just run the wires to the speakers or use your own external amp via any pre-amp out. The latter would be preferable unless your speakers have high sensitivity.

 

I have the limited edition tundra has the rear audio jacks no display I have sound coming out just really low the amp is behind the rear seat don't think I have it powered up that's were I'm lost on those wires what one is the power and ground

 

I have the power and the illumination and the ground and the speakers hooked up I have the left side completely tied together and the right side completely tied together positive and negative separate of course they have sound coming out it just real muffled and crackly like the amp's not powering it up

 

That is the factory radio that came in it and I cannot buy a harness for that truck it's $1,300 for a harness and nobody around me within a hundreds of miles has old tundra like that get the factory plug out of it

 

Okay, now I think I understand. You need the amp because it apparently isn’t built into the factory radio. I was under the impression you had an aftermarket radio.

So you have it connected based upon the PIN numbers and colored wires I assume but the amp itself isn’t giving you adequate power for the speakers? Are the TX+/- and IVO+/- the only signals not connected?

 

Correct I don't know what the TX+/- wires do and same with the IVO what is the main power source to turn on the amp what wire is that and what is the signal wires That's why I'm all confused and being half color blind don't help

 

You may also want to post a link to this thread in the audio section where someone might be more familiar with the OEM radio wiring.

 

I am putting an aftermarket radio in I'm not putting the factory one back in it cuz I don't have a connector for it I'm putting it aftermarket a boss radio

 

If that’s the case you may be able to just ignore those signals in question since I’m guessing their specific to the OEM radio setup working with the OEM external amp.

 

There's no way to use the factory amp and aftermarket radio

 

It should work, you have 85 watts per channel x 4 channels. You may need your own external amp if it doesn’t drive the speakers hard enough but the sound shouldn’t be weak. You’ll definitely need an amp for any subwoofer.

 

Won't the factory amp do that though I think I have it figured out I hope All the wires that I circled up earlier those are all speaker

I'm going to solder and heat shrink mine and make it look a lot cleaner than that but that's the same concept I have exact same problem

 

The factory amp can get bypassed in the install. If your asshole buddy didn't cut the wires going into the amp you may be able to get a harness to work there.

If you wanted to keep all the rear seat/factory amp/steering wheel controls you'd need to get an interface module. That's why it's not working properly as you have it. The TX wires are data communication between the head unit and other modules.

Metra I believe makes repair harnesses for the factory side wiring, instead of playing poke and pray with it I'd get the repair harness and then whatever adapter harnesses you need to make it all work. It's probably going to run you another $200 to get all the proper doodads to get there.

 

What about a line in converter will that do it

 

No the factory amp needs the signals from the factory radio or an interface module to function.

 

Will any interface work there was one in the truck when I bought it not installed yet

 

iDatalink and Crux are the only ones I've seen.

 

The factory JBL amp was a 6 channel amp in my 06 DC Limited with rear seat entertainment. Your aftermarket head unit is a 4 channel set up. Bypass the factory JBL amp.

The 6 channels on my JBL amp were 2 channels front tweeters, 2 channels front door mid and sub speakers, and 2 channels rear door speakers.

 

If I were you, I would consider the Crutchfield items shown in below link. It is a cart I created given 2005 Tundra DC with present system having Rear Amp and JBL Speakers. Subtract Boss radio that’s listed and order the rest from Crutchfield. They will answer any and all questions you may have via email if necessary. Basically same package I got when doing my 04 DC LTD via JBL speakers .

As they recommend, you need to consider replacing your stock 2 ohm speakers if still present with 4 ohm.

The $25 ready harness they make for you plugs into Boss radio harness and other end plugs into amp bypass harness cable. Run the amp bypass harness via driver side channel to present amp. The output cable of present amp that go to speakers plugs into the remaining end of amp bypass cable.

Out shopping, best I can do for now. Will comment later about IVO signal your concerned about since it has nothing to do with the original OEM radio. Any and all pics above referencing Navigation or video are wrong drawings you need to be looking at. IVO+- was used if your 05 came with the New Feature radio that was a Navigation AV radio and those signals were for turn-by-turn direction guidance.
