    Guys,

    I have a 2002 extra cab 4 door SR5 that I want to replace the OEM radio and adding backup camera, blue tooth, etc. What harness or bypass adapter do I need. The factory amp is bolted just below the radio console cover in the dash, plug adapter harness into amp to it's input connector? Hook up reverse light? A diagram would help too if anyone has one made up already, thanks!

    Stephen

    Crutchfield will have everything you need, there's also a stereo thread in the stickies section in the thread for new owners.

    Crutchfield is your friend. Put your truck info into the site, order from them, and they’ll send you perimeter step by step instructions for your specific truck and the correct mounting bracket and wiring harness. Don’t order off amazoon. Crutchdield sells the same cheap head units with everything you need to install it right the first time. Plus they warranty everything.

    Everything you need to know about your truck has been neatly laid out in the first two replies of this thread: https://www.tundras.com/threads/so-you-wanna-buy-just-bought-a-1st-gen-tundra-eh.115928/

    For your specific question, you'll find all the answers you need linked nicely from the first reply, in the section "Audio, audio upgrades and cameras..."

    If you have any questions after reading that thread, I encourage you to come back here, and reply again with those specfic questions. I have zero doubts myself or others here can help you out.

    JasonC.,

    Yes more research revealed the answer! pulled the factory amp out and examined the connector then searched and found the male pin counterpart connector and harness. With the info gained I just have to connect the new radio's harness to the Metra 70-1761 kit, I'm golden now.

    Yep, all that info is in that thread I linked :rofl:

    Let us know if you have any other question. That thread also has backup cam wiring instructions, so don't discount it yet.

    shifty`,

    Thanks though the depth of the links information was more than I needed in my case, good information! when my radio comes in I'll have to hook up the reverse camera that I bought while I'm at it. Funny cars used to have roll up windows nowadays no one would consider buying a car without power windows, locks, AC, blue tooth etc.

    You have one of the easy ones! If I were doing an upgrade on anything, the earlier 2000-2003 models with amp in the dash would be my go-to choice. Super easy installs. Why Toyota decided to move the OEM amps to the back of the truck is beyond me.
