[QUOTE="Elkins45, post: 8869651, member: 690800"] Sorry, but I'm back again. It's even worse than I thought. The factory radio has five different input connectors. The two marked in green in the first photo are the ones that come in the replacement connector kit. I have the luxury of having access to an identical car so I pulled out the factory radio and looked at it. Four of them were used. One is probably for the steering wheel controls and the other is likely for the iPod and AUX inputs that were built into the center armrest of these cars. The fifth (unused) one is undoubtedly for satellite radio. The idiot who installed it clipped all four of the existing plugs, so I need the other two (circled in red) to restore full functionality. I tried installer.com with no luck so I guess it's time to start searching again. Maybe I'll see if I can pick one up from Toyota. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6870.jpg"]56441[/ATTACH] This is what an unmolested factory wiring configuration looks like: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6865.jpg"]56442[/ATTACH] I think I'm near the point where I just pay someone else to fix it. What a mess! [/QUOTE]
