  • in this video I show you how I wired my after market android car stereo into my lexus gs300 but works with gs400 and gs430 years 98-05. There are a few websites with wiring diagrams but I found that a few of them are not accurate below is the wire colors i used on the vehicle as well as the location.
    Constant 12V+ Blue/Yellow located on radio plug
    Switched 12V+ Gray located on radio plug
    Ground no wire available ground wire to chasis
    Illumination Light Green located on radio plug
    Left Front (+) Pink located on factory amp plug
    Left Front (-) Purple located on factory amp plug
    Right Front (+) Light Green located on factory amp plug
    Right Front (-) Blue located on factory amp plug
    Left Rear (+) Black located on factory amp plug
    Left Rear (-) Yellow located on factory amp plug
    Right Rear (+) Red located on factory amp plug
    Right Rear (-) White located on factory amp plug
    The factory amp is located behind the glove box. Remove the glove box via 3 philips screws inside along the top and 2 10mm under the glove box on the ouside of it.

    Just wanted to say thank you. I’m on my third GS in 12 years. They are timeless, and my favorite car. I’ve always had double din head units in four years of owning this one I haven’t touched anything on the audio. and had a connect at Carson Toyota where I was able to get the oem Toyota double din plate and mounts from Japan, But now have been unsuccessful because I think Toyota stopped making them. This is literally the cleanest modern look you can get without any major modification, and since watching this I have placed an order for mine. Thanks again brother 🤙🏻

      I agree and have purchased and wired up my new 9” android unit same as this with new 5 channel amp and new 6.5” speakers in all doors and new sub.
      The only thing I haven’t done is secure the head unit in place. How did you do this? These are so light weight I was honestly considering 3M double sided black double sided tape but I really would prefer to mount with some kind of bracket which mine didn’t come with any as I was told “it is meant to be mounted with screws from behind into a fascia plate for specific cars” which obviously our cars do not have or need.
      I know this is upset old but please get back to me how you mounted it mate. Love your work legend 👌🏻😎

    Just in case someone might not know: installers use a bundled cable called 9 wire. It has 4 channels worth of speaker wire plus an extra one for amp remote signal. Saves a lot more space than running 4 passes of bulky speaker wire over to the factory harness.

    • @Ricardo_Wade
      @Ricardo_Wade  2 роки тому +1

      Would be good from trunk to the rear of head unit, this method as shown is good as the wire can be virtually purchased any where vs the 14,16,18-9 not carried in to many places

      Sorry for the late reply, but installing a sub is just like any other head unit, you need an amplifier for your sub and obviously a sub in a box and a amplifier wiring kit wich contain all the wire to get the amp powered on and rca cable that run from head unit to amp, on the headunit there is a rca out put labeled sub, that's where you land the rca for the amp

      Gs400 would be the same process, with this method you are canceling out the factory amplifier that's also means you lose audio to the factory sub, on this silver gs300 I added an aftermarket amplifier and replaced the factory subwoffer with a alpine 10in subwoffer, the 10in fits perfect in the factory location and handles more power
