As i was reading up on my stereo installation delema, i came across this. Could someone explain this.... please:1zhelp:
A. Find a rare, but extremely useful adapter made by Toyota specifically for this type of installation. Toyota had many leftover 86.5 cars in 1987, but all the 86.5 radios were gone. So they came up with this adapter harness that allowed dealers to put newer 87 radios into the 86.5 cars. I got mine from Jeff Watson for less than 10 dollars. If you can find one of these adapters, it's the best and easiest way to go.
B. Find someone who has a 1987+ harness you can cut and splice into your wires. A request to the Supra list might find you the part, or I've priced it at 25.00 new from Nippon Direct. I didn't do this procedure, so I would suggest checking a good manual to see if the wiring scheme changed at all from year to year. Be aware that there isn't a whole lot of slack in these wires, so working on them will be tricky.
