Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness Fits Select 1987-UP Toyota Vehicles Power + 4 Speaker (Packaging May Vary)

Works perfect. Exactly what I ordered! Easy pezzy. Would recommend

I used the Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness for my 2011 Toyota Camry when installing a new head unit, and it was a solid product. The harness fits the factory plug exactly, and the aftermarket radio wires matched up by color easily, which made the install fast and stress-free. The connectors feel sturdy and the build quality seems good. The only improvement I’d like to see is more detailed labeling or instructions for beginners, but if you have basic understanding of car stereo wiring this harness will save you a bunch of time. Definitely worth it.

Simply put I would never do an install without the Metra harness. I highly recommend using the harness to put an aftermarket car stereo into your Toyota .... 1) With both the new car stereo and Metra harness in hand I was able to begin my wire connections in the comfort of my home so that the installation would be a plug-n-play once I went to remove the old and install the new. I was able to work with all the tools and materials in home as opposed to battling space, lighting and/or the weather in the car. 2) If you use the Metra harness you'll preseve original Toyota harness(es) which means if for whatever reason you can plug-and-play between the old and new stereos .. for example you install the new stereo then later go to sell the car and determine to keep your new stereo and so you reinstall the old stereo. This is easily done having kept your Toyota harness in place as opposed to clipping and hard-wiring. 3) You never know when you might need the original harness connectors in place. Below is a cut-n-paste of the product review I did for my Pioneer receiver I installed where I highlight the Metra harness I used. The close of my write up share a comical look at how I had to use my old Toyota connectors and where the Metra harness made that possible. Here is a copy-n-paste of another review I did that gives a real life application using the Metra harness ... (Product Review for Pioneer FH-X820BS CD Receiver) Simple to install. Tools I used: philips screwdriver, 10mm rachet, and a trim pry tool (most folks just use a flathead screwdriver). I installed my Pioneer FH-X820BS into a 2001 Toyota Camry which had an OEM Toyota 16814 CD/AM/FM Receiver. To help I purchased the Metra 70-1761 wiring harness to simplify the wire connections. I recommend getting the right Metra harness for your car to simplify connecting the right wires to your car's wires plus an added benefit of being able (as I did) to connect all your wires in the comfort of your home/shop as opposed to dragging your tools and materials to the car where you might battle the heat (such was my case) or cold or poor lighting (else run down your car battery). When making your wire connections be sure to use crimps, tape or zip ties to secure all connections considering a need to pull the Pioneer unit back out at a later date for whatever reason; I used a small zip tie for every 2 wires I connected together and 1 large zip tie to bundle all wires together. When Installing the microphone be sure to leave enough slack in the wire behind the receiver should you need to pull the unit out at a later date. I also installed a new siriusxm receiver at the same time and in doing so I was again cautious to leave enough slack in the wiring for the sirius receiver behind the Pioneer receiver. Having already wired the Pioneer harness to the Metra harness (in the comfort of my home) I began to remove the old car stereo using a trim pry bar to pull away the trim from the front of the stereo which disclosed (4) 10mm hex nuts securing the stereo harness. I removed the hex nuts and then pulled the stereo. I then disconnected 2 Toyo wiring harnesses and the antennae wire from the back of the old stereo. I removed the stereo brackets on the old stereo and placed on the new Pioneer receiver. Next I connected the 2 Metra harnesses to the 2 Toyota connectors and began plugging everything into the back of the Pioneer receiver ... wiring harness, antennae wire, microphone wire, and sirius receiver wire. I pushed the new unit into placed and secured with the 4 hex nuts. I replaced the trim and was done. To add a little humor and real life to support some suggestions above ... just when I thought I was done I realized I left a CD inside of the old receiver which I wanted t keep. Remember when I said to secure your cables should you ever need to remove your new unit "for whatever reason" .. so, yes I uninstalled the new unit, plugged the old unit back in to power it up and eject the CD. BTW this exercise proved to be yet one more benefit to using the Metra harness ... by using a Metra harness and preserving the OEM Toyo harness I was able to truly plug-n-play both the old equipment and new equipment. Odds are if I sell this car I'll pull the Pioneer receiver and plug the old one back in which will be simple given the Metra harness.

They work good.

Worked for my 2001 4Runner Limited. Not sure if this is a limited trim level thing or not but I had a small factory amplifier just behind and under my factory head unit. This adapter did not fit the harness between the amp and head unit so I removed the amp. This fit the wires from the car itself to the amp. I was amazed to find that the $125 Pioneer receiver I installed still gets considerably louder than the factory amp did. I'd estimate it can deliver at least twice the power (3dB) with the same amount of distortion. Possibly even 4 times (6dB). The only real downside to this adapter is the plastic packaging - I ripped it open and the ink they used on the packaging somehow came detached and got all over my hands and shirt. I have never had this happen before. Please use better ink to print your packaging. To other people buying this product, I recommend using scissors to cut open the plastic to avoid getting green ink on you. Almost all of the negative reviews on this product should be disregarded. Those people all have factory amps, which they should remove, but they did not do their research, nor did they use their brains to figure out that the box sitting not even 6 inches from the radio is an amp. They should not be attempting to install things if they can neither do the proper research nor do some extremely basic "troubleshooting" of the problem. I didn't know I had a factory amp at first either and it took me no more than 2 minutes to solve the problem. It is literally right there when you take the radio out. Everyone who didn't realize that needs to be paying someone to install a radio for them.

Good!!

I purchased the Metra 70-1761 wiring harness for my 2013 Toyota Yaris L, and it fit perfectly. Installation was quick and straightforward, making connecting my new radio much easier than trying to splice wires. The quality of the harness feels solid and durable, giving me confidence that it will last. It saved a lot of time and hassle, especially compared to trying to modify the factory wiring. Overall, this is a reliable and essential accessory if you’re upgrading your stereo, and it worked flawlessly with my Yaris. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a seamless installation.

Easy. Quick. Painless. Trouble-free. Does what it is supposed to do. That's all for the review (what more were you expecting from a wiring harness?) Now on to some help and recommendations.... I've seen a few comments on here that say you cannot use this with a 2000 4runner (and similar years). If you DO NOT have the JBL audio system, it will be a quick and easy install (see elsewhere for info on that). However, if you DO have the JBL system, you have an additional step that many are unaware of. As a result, they do not believe this wiring harness works. Here is the CORRECT method of installation: 1. Splice the wires from your intended receiver into this harness. Use the wires from YOUR RECIEVER as the guide. Once all the wires from it are connected, you are done. YOU MAY HAVE LEFTOVER WIRES ON THE HARNESS PORTION. No biggie. This harness is capable of doing things that perhaps your reciever cannot. Put some electrical tape over them to conceal the ends and leave them alone. 2. Remove the factory receiver (if applicable) after disconnecting the included wiring harness. 3. At this point, you will have a wire bundle and connector hanging in your dash that you just unplugged from your receiver. This is NOT, repeat NOT, what you will be using to connect your new receiver. 4. IMPORTANT: The JBL audio system has its own separate amplifier. THIS is what was plugged into your receiver. You need to remove it from the equation in order for A) this harness to work as it should and B) your system to use the amp built into your receiver. If you do not wire it this way, you will be STILL using the JBL amp and your system will not sound as good as it could. 5. Follow the wires that were connected directly to your receiver to the small metallic box and remove the box. REMOVE ONLY THIS BOX as there is a similar box just below it but this is controls your airbags. (Need I say, DO NOT touch it?) 6. Once you remove this box, you will see that it is also plugged into another unit. THIS is where the Metra 70-1761 is intended to plug into. Plug your new harness in here and secure the receiver in whatever manner is necessary for your unit. In other words............. Factory: RECIEVER >>>>>AMP>>>>>VEHICLE (This is how the JBL system comes. You need to remove the amp from the equation or the Metra 70-1761 will not work. In other words, it was not designed to connect to the factory amp). With new harness: RECIEVER>>>>>>>VEHICLE I hope this helps someone out there. It took a lot of digging on my part, but I installed the whole thing last night. After wiring everything, the removal and install probably took 15 minutes. Very easy.

This item is a must!

well built. i used it for an Australian 2003 Toyota Corolla. no problems at all.

Installed on the $30 Rixow bluetooth stereo also from amazon. Didn’t want to ruin the stock wiring on my toyota echo, so i got a harness. stripped the ends of the wires from the meters harness and my rixow stereo harness, and wrapped the wiring together and electrical taped them right. Only wire i had to cover up was orange as there was no orange wire on my rixow stereo. But it worked great, just plugged harness to my car and rixow harness to the stereo, tested and worked great.

Conecta perfectamente con el cableado original de la camioneta y mantiene los mismos colores de los cables.

Funcionó muy bien
