Item 6 is what i believe you need.

But you need to find out what unit you have, go to your glove box, pull out the manual, it will tell you.

once you get that, i can point you in the right direction if you can use the RCA.

I dropped in to my local Eclipse dealer. They are looking into finding the RCA cable and seeing if it plug direct into the Toyota stock head unit. They tell me they do it frequently with Toyota's. I'll post news when I get it.

It's a Kenwood DDX630WBT Got it for $680 new off ebay. Comes with a Kenwood-Toyota loom, so all you have to solder up is an antenna adapter to power antenna cable.

There isn't one with inbuilt sat nav, but it does support the Kenwood satnav module.

Just spent the afternoon with my mate fabricating an amp rack for the back:



No modification to car it self, mounts on the screws for the factory amp. Will post some more photos when it's back from the powder-coater and fully installed.

All powered by a focal amp
Sounds so clean and crisp

Attachment 16553

Looks great!

Are you using the built-in USB/Aux plugs/connectors with the DDX630WBT to connect to iPhone. Because it requires AV input cable and USB. Did you modify it to work. Update: I've checked the manual and there are two cables AV in and USB, I think they fit in the same slots

I think this unit is still not compatible with iPhone 5 but will try to use the converter

Does anyone know what the RMS rating is for the stock amplifier? I am running jbl p662s in the front doors and curious if it is being under powered or not. They are 2 ohms at 55 watt rms.

You've stumbled into the land of Oz mate. (Australian forums)

we dont have a stock amplifier over here... you might get more luck posting in the US specific ones.
