Need help w/ FRS radio install / harness info
 
Bought a 2013 FRS & some jerk stole the factory radio out of the car, and cut the factory wiring harness so its just bare wires behind the radio. Whats an easy way to determine which head unit goes in this car (regular CD, touchscreen or nav head unit) short of calling Toyota with the VIN?
Whats the easiest way to fix this, and where would I be able to get the factory plug connector that goes into the back of the head unit? Assuming the car has NAV, is it back compatible with the base head unit?
Any pointers, tips, and advice is much appreciated!

Insurance claim it?

You might be able to get the connectors you need from an audio electronics store or an aftermarket installer might have the connectors you need.
Look in the interior electronics section on here.. Many fit cameras to the head units and have knowledge of these connectors and harnesses

Metra 1761 I think is what you want.. The antenna cable will be an issue for you.. Idk the part for that

I generally don't like to make a claim when the repair bill is only 3 figures, i'll pay for it on the long run.

The Metra 1761 is not what I need because this plugs into the factory harness plug, then into an aftermerket radio.
My stock harness has been cut so I dont have anything in there now. So what I need is a 'reverse' metra 1761 harness which will plug into the factory radio, then I connect those ends to the bare wires that I have hanging in there now, makes sense?

id recommend trying to locate one of the junk yards that do partouts-- if they get an frs in, just ask them for the harnesses you need. i don't believe the aftermarket makes a replacement harness for this car yet...

Actually.. Any Toyota should work.. Scion would be better.. Junkers not a bad idea, find just about any smashed Toyota or scion that's recent
