Metra 70-8112 Receiver Wiring Harness

Good idea, that didn't work for me. The factory amp caused a constant high frequency whine at all times (not alternator noise) even with engine off. Needs a direct battery + feed and ignition feed and ground from a source "other" than the factory radio harness. Because, battery power, ignition voltage and ground all come "from" the factory amp. Also, the amp turn on wire from the aftermarket head unit must be wired to turn on the factory amp. So now you don't have a dedicated turn-on wire for your subwoofer amp. SO, I disconnected the factory amp. Made a speaker wire harness to plug into speaker output connector at the amp using the speaker level output from the aftermarket radio. With factory amp disconnected, you no longer have either of your power sources or ground to the radio since they came "from" the factory amp. So after all this, the Metra 70-8112 is totally useless for a Lexus/Toyota application. Save yourself a headache and just pre-make a harness and skip this one.

It's a harness...

Harness plugs right in to car. No illumination wire. Looked online to find which pin is illumination. Used a piece of 18 ga. thermostat wire stripped to pin length. Added a dab of silicone to secure, and now illumination circuit works fine.

Perfect fit to wire up my new head unit going into my 1997 Land Cruiser. It exactly matched the Toyota harness in the dash. The 4 finished plugs fit snugly into the back of the JVC KD-X340BTS I purchased. I called up Crutchfield tech support and was walked through matching the remaining wires to the JVC harness. Talking to tech support made it a piece of cake. Soldered them (because I'm old fashioned) and was done in 15 min. I also like the fact that this harness has the wire tips pre-cut so all you have to do is slide off the tip. I hate cutting wires and having a few copper strands come with the strip.

I bought this piece so now I've been through 2 harnesses and Crutchfield told me this would fit my 1999 Toyota Avalon xls. Wouldn't work so then I cut one of aux cables like Crutchfield rep told me and still no result. I could see the screen but no sound which was my whole issue from the start. I wish u all would send me another now I'm working with 3 aux instead of 4

Receiver Wiring Harness for 1998 Lexus ES 300

The METRA 70-8112 harness works just fine except that it does not have an Orange illumination wire; however, the harness DOES have the connector for a power antenna. It is the solid blue wire in pin 8. Since my car does not have a power antenna, I removed the pin 8 connector and reinserted it into the pin 2 position, and was able to connect the illumination control wire to my new radio. Also, the RCA connectors grounds are not separate form each other or the radio's ground. This caused a ground loop because of the way that the 1998 Lexus ES 300 sends power and ground to the receiver via the 5 channel amp behind the glove box. Grounding the radio directly to the frame did not fix the problem. The fix was to add a Monoprice 106909 Four Channel Ground Loop Isolator to the RCA outputs. Now it all works.

Why no illumination wire??

Worked great except for missing the illumination pin and wire. I used it in a '95 Avalon, integrating the OEM amp. It is really annoying I had to rig up the illumination wire around the adapter connectors. Seems really silly it was left out.

What's not to like

Very good

Very good. Worked well with JVC KD-R760 in 1998 Avalon, 7 speaker. Only thing missing is there is no connection to Illumination wire (pin 2) in Avalon harness. Don't know why they didn't include that. Without it, display won't dim when headlights are turned on. However, it was easy to add a jumper to go from the pin 2 wire in the Avalon harness and go to the JVC Illumination wire. After doing that, the display dims as it should. Otherwise, it was fine, seems well made, and worked well.

Lacks illumination wire

This wiring harness lacks the illumination wire, which annoyed me as my aftermarket stereo supports automatic dimming. I ended up replacing this with a different wiring harness since that one does have the orange/white illumination wire.

Integrate factory amp

I ended up using an aftermarket amp in my car so I never used this harness. Keep in mind that this is intended to wire up to your existing factory amp. If you wanna run you're own amp or run the power from the head unit, be sure to pick up the other Toyota harness Crutchfield offers. I'd image it would work great if you had other plans. Good quality!

Awesome!

So..wiring a stereo in some of these cars nowadays is lot different then when I was younger. My son's Toyota comes with a built in amp and and a trunk mount cd changer. Wiriing was going all over the place to say the least and if you try to get to the wiring before it begins its journey behind the dash, you have about an inch to work with in a very tight space. The wire colors mean NOTHING....you need a special legend to get the right ones - and then those are the ones going into the amp - not the radio. So - called Crutchfield - WOW - they knew EXACTLY what they were talking about. I ordered this harness to plug into the existing radio harness and it WORKS GREAT!!! No splicing, no issues... If I had purchased this first, I could have save about 3 hrs pulling off the glovebox, reseraching wiring diagrams, watching youtube videos, puttung things back on the car.... Thanks to the Crutchfield folks!!! You guys were awesome. Really love the tech.support!!

So so harness

This harness was easy to connect and all's well ends well right? Wrong! Once you turn on the radio you get this annoying buzzing sound that can really be irritating at times. Keep in mind this harness went on a sc300 1998 with full trim package and everything. I have this can be aliminated by installing an aftermarket amp and speakers. Also if you have a center subwoofer you will lose it. So to the chase...easy harness to hook up and install but annoying sound once radio is on.

I used solder and heat shrink to join the head unit to the harness... very easy to do, but if you prefer not to solder, you could easily use wire connectors to do the job.

Wiring harness for 1999 Toyota Avalon

Unfortunately, this wiring harness did not fit my Toyota. Since I had the front dash of the car already taken apart, I got a replacement harness from a local dealer and had to splice all of the wires together. The necessary wiring harness would have required 2 concentrators, not 1. Neither of the Toyota concentrators matched this wiring harness' concentrator.

Came along with the Clarion radio for my 95 lexus es 300. Had everything good in it but there is no connection for the illumination control.

I checked the harness several time but it doesnt give me the provision or mark sheet doesnt show me where to connect. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Almost Perfect

As a previous reviewer pointed out, this harness is missing the ORANGE ILLUMINATION lead in the number 2 position. If you are OK with not having your radio dim when you turn on your headlights this won't be a problem. I want the radio to dim when the headlights are turned on, just like the rest of the interior lights. Sure wish I had read the previous review ahead of time. I called Crutchfield to ask what could be done to fix the harness and they said sorry, they don't make the harnesses and there is nothing they can do for me.

Almost perfect.

PROS: Very good Quality. Fits just like OEM conector on Radio, with a nice positive feel. Secure. (Good job sourcing this Crutchfield!) Wire colors matched radio for easy matching and connection. CONS: The connector is MISSING a wire in the #2 position for ILLUMINATION. (usually an ORANGE wire) If your car does not have a 12v wire for illumination and/ or you don't care about dimming your radio lights with the headlight switch on the car, then this may not matter. Crutchfield was VERY accomodating and was able to help me and sent me a second one to take a wire out of to use. It required me to basically destroy the connector, and I carefully reused the crimp connector and soldered an ORANGE wire in place. The result looks like it was made that way. I have years of experience with this type of work and access to the proper tools. I only rate this 3 stars because of the work required for my application. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. If the orange wire was there, I would have gave it a 5 star rating. In case this info helps: My car is a 1995 TOYOTA CELICA GT with 6 speakers, double din headunit with separate amp. I installed a Kenwood DNX5120.

I love crutchfield

I went to two local places to find a harness for my 98 Avalon and both said they had one that works and theyre sure it would work. So I go and neither fit. Thank god for crutchfield otherwise I couldnt get a aftermarket head unit. The instructions that came with it were easy to read and very helpful.
