Am I missing brackets or something? Unit goes I'm good but there is nothing to hold it in place? Says 4 screws will mount it in place but I have nothing to pit screws in..

 

you need one of those install kit deal with the plastic brackets and such. ebay has em cheap.

 

Picked up one today...again...there is nothing in my dash to mount to?am i suppose to have metal mounting brackets in my dash to mount to?

 

You need these: The eBay listing wants $40 for them. Ask on here. Someone is bound to have them cheaper!

Was just looking at them...thanks! Now leads me to my next question. Hooked up wiring harness...just to see if I could get some juice...no juice. Got everything colored matched. Only thing I'm not sure of are these extra connectors in my truck...pics below. I'm guessing one is a antenna.

 

Well it won't let me attach at the moment (app). But looks to be red antenna wire and some kind of box connector... Separate from the main harness.

 

I'm not sure if this helps. It's been a while so I'm not sure of your question.

I did want to mention that it's a good idea not to trust the ground wire in the Toyota harness. I cut mine at the stereo and ground off a little paint on the dash metal and screwed it directly to that. That was after I kept blowing fuses. Bad ground on the harness. I'm not the first to have that problem. Oh yeah "no juice" when you have everything hooked up properly is probably a bad ground too!

 

Thanks man...gonna go check that ground!

 

Blahhhhh...still no juice. Don't know what to do...would I better of running all new wire myself?

 

Checked fuses? What diagnostics have done with a voltage meter? Did the prior head unit work?

 

Checked fuses...havnt ran a meter yet. Won't be able to do that till later.

 

Truck hasn't had one in for about 15 years haha. So I'm not sure.

 

 

Just ran a meter... Getting about .5v at my hot (red) wire. What now lol...

 

I'd replace the fuse to start. Look for frayed wires that are hanging on by a strand or two. You used a chassis screw for the ground when you pulled this voltage?

 

yeah don't wire it to the brown use the chassis for a ground

 

Yep used a chassis screw. What particular fuse is the stereo fuse? I've found diagrams, but none actually mention the stereo.

 

depends on your head unit. mine was a 10a. did you need those brackets ?

 

Yeah my wife ordered them I think. She was suppose to. Lol

 

Tell her i didn't see the order go thru i wanna make the box up and get it done before the mailman gets here if i'm able to
