Expert: - 12/20/2006


Question
Hi, I have a 2001 Tacoma with a CD/Cassette head unit (model 86120-AD020) I would like to install an amp and keep the original head unit.  There are three plug ins, 6 pin, 10 pin, and 12 pin.  Is the 12 pin an input plug, or output plug.  How do I obtain a source for my amp?  Thanks,  Eric

Answer
all the cables that you need are on the 10 pin plug
1987 to 2007 are the same plugs

also the other big plug is for aux input or ipod interface http://www.oemautosound.com/c-113-toyota-to-ipod.aspx
