Radio wiring harness plug

I got an OEM Toyota radio for our pickup,the problem is the PO removed the oem plug and replaced with the one that came with the modern stereo.
Do you know where I can get an adapter for this radio or a way to solve this situation? (2cm = 0.79")

Interesting. Last time I looked, my OEM Radio had a 10-pin connector; you've got 2 more pins. (Not to mention the "LW" band on your radio.)

The 10-pin harness is pretty easy to get: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253281726370

5193? I do not recall that radio number here in the USA. That trim around the edge I'm unfamiliar with, too. But that doesn't mean anything.
edit: ah, ok. that was probably a radio that was sold separately over the Parts counter to be installed in vehicles at the dealer when no factory radio was installed during assembly(which was a lot bitd). Still, they used the same harness and connector.

Like Scope103, my 1987 has two harness connectors for the radio. A 10-pin(with 9 wires actually installed) that handles most everything; and a 6-pin(with 5 wires) that handles the rear speakers. So I'm guessing this radio only handled front speakers(don't see anything for fade, now that I think of it)
What year did the seller claim it came out of?

You asked for a picture of my aftermarket carpet. I don't see how to send photos in a PM, so i posted here. The fit is decent. The only place where they could have improved the fit is around

the tunnel hump on either side of the gearshift. But it's not terrible.

Try paging through eBay for "vintage Toyota cassette" or just "Toyota Cassette." Often the seller will show the back with a partial wiring plug so you can see the colors.

The carpet looks very good, I do not see any problem with it.The seat covers are also nice. Thank you!

That Female 12 pin connector is not easy to find apparently.

Good tip, thank you!
The female connector, harness side, is what I am missing. It looks like it is hard to find.

This is a Panasonic K112 (made that radio) pigtail. The white 12-pin male connector end looks pretty close the size and configuration as your radio female. Even has the small vertical side tabs. Listed as an "old" connector on internet search. That's an old radio.

If the white male plug fits the rest can be cut off to splice to the truck's wiring

Plugs and Harnesses is the website. The site has a link for questions. I'd contact them. http://www.pisi.com.pl/zlaczkiE.htm

That one could work, I already sent a question to the seller, I will report back.
Thank you!

I missed your question, sorry for the delay.

The owner sent me a video showing the radio working in a 1987 Toyota Hilux (Truck) Xtra Cab, same year and model than mine, but red color and diesel engine.

Updating this thread in case another member has the same situation than me.

I found the plug locally, the tip was searching for a "Panasonic" plug.

Thank you all!

Did the plug come with a wire schematic? If not found this on another Panasonic site.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm in the USA and currently looking for this same 12 pin "panasonic" plug to use for the same reason as SomedayJ. I have not been able to find one through the usual channels. Does anyone know of reliable search terms to use or the name of this connector?

Search “ Panasonic radio plug adapter”
Do you have the factory radio connectors, and just need an adapter to plug in aftermarket radio? Or has your factory radio wiring been cut and you need a repair kit to fix that?

The factory wiring was cut by a previous owner, and I ordered a similar radio off of ebay, which also has this same 12 pin connector. I've looked up those terms, and most often the result is a 16 pin connector, or a 12 pin for sale from Europe. The only place I found that seemed US based was charging $50 or so once shipping was added, which seemed too pricey for me. This morning I made the decision to just desolder the connector from the board and solder in wires for testing. More adventures soon, I'm sure!

This is the one I got for my 1987. Depending on your year it could be different, but at least gives you a jumping off point.
