    Hoping for a little basic advice on installing a new head unit in my 2005 DBL cab SR5 from folks that have done this install. I read the thread about determining if you have an amp and I’m pretty sure I don’t because there isn’t one behind the back panel, rear storage or under the seat.

    So I’d like to confirm the Metra 70-1761 is the proper harness for this?…since I don’t need an amp bypass. Any write ups or diagrams on which wire goes to which would be appreciated…I’m a total newb when it comes to audio stuff but I’ve done my fair share of wiring over the years.

    Good morning. Have you ever read through THIS THREAD?

    There's a section, "Audio, audio upgrades and cameras...", that can be found about 8 paragraphs down in the first post. Start there.

    Yeah I did read through there, but hadn’t followed one of the hyperlinks. Looks like the Metra harness I plan to use is the right one. Little more digging and I’m sure I’ll find what each wire is for.
    Cheers.

    With those connectors it appears to be the basic DC SR5 6 speaker Audio but the drawing does not jive with actual conductors present.

    Edit.....seem to always forget about illumination conductors that don't show on Radio schematic....all conductors present and accounted for.
