Hey guys on my 85 4runner I am upgrading the factory speakers and radio.

I installed some infinity 4" kappas upfront in the factory spaces they sound great and fit really well. I have 6x9"s that I am putting in boxes in the rear. Also replacing my factory radio because it is cutting out.

On the wiring harness from factory to Cd player I am having problems finding.

Will only a 85 Toyota harness work? or does a 87 work also?

 

On my 87 4runner I got one through Radio Shack that plugged right in.....

 

Thanks Greg50

If a 87 harness would work that would be great. But I do not
know for a fact that it will work or not.

 

Just about any audio place will have the harness.

Crutchfield.com

Crutchfield is a great, But I am looking to get one today.

Do you know if a 87 cd player harness will fit a 85?

 

mine didn't have a cd player, just the am fm radio. But I put a sony cd player in it I just bout a universal harnes that had a plug that fit my stock harness plug, I don't know if 85 and 87 were the same though...

 

Mine still has the factory Toyota AM FM tape player, It cuts in and out and has alot of static, So I am going to replace it with a Alpine I have that has the aux port on the front where I can use a ipod or iphone

 

Found the answer on Crutchfield in less than 2 minutes.

So will a 87 work?

 

ok I went and got a wiring harness at a car stereo place.

The harness has two plugs in a kit. But on my 4runner there is only one plug
connected all the wires and no power to cd player. Looks like the other plug in
the kit has the 12v wire and rear speaker wires. So Im not getting power to
the head unit, does anyone have any ideas? pic below

 

If you got this kit.





Then it should work fine.The second plug is for the constant power to the head unit.

 

Your constant should be that black wire with the white line and a plug on it.

 

Thanks 85TurboRunner

The wiring harness I got was for a 83-86 and for some reason there was
only Two big plugs in the kit. I got it going it is working great.

Thanks for the help everyone
