My question though - has anyone done an install on a toyota gt86, european model? To explain exactly what wires need to be cut, what goes exactly where? |
I think you'll find that you only need to make one modification to the Dashlinq's harness -- changing the power antenna lead, as I describe in that earlier post.
GT86 models don't have the illumination(-) lead on the car's 6-pin harness, so you can leave the Dashlinq's SWC wire where it is. And GT86 doesn't have an amplifier for the door speakers like BRZ and FR-S in North America, so you don't need to pin the Dashlinq's amp trigger lead.
See the posts by Narcoden and my replies starting at #1659. He found his HU was doing strange things on the HU's amp trigger output and dimmer input. I recommend you use a voltmeter to do the same tests that I list in post #1662. If you find that the Dashlinq's illumination input lead does anything strange, you should un-pin it so it doesn't connect to your car (and post a reply here to let us know).
