Radio install problems 95 camry

[Camary1995]

I tried to put a cd player in my 1995 camry and when I installed it the radio powered on but no sound came out of the speakers. As fas as I know the car has no internal amp or anything. I took out the stock tape player from toyota. I knew someone eles with a 1997 that had a similiar problem and only certain cd player's would work. Does anyone know would the problem might be and why I was getting no sound? Is there someting I am missing?

Well... I would say first off, pull the radio again and find out if all the connections for the harness are connected. Personally i'd take a multimeter and test to see if the wires are getting signal. Other than that, if it still doesn't work, maybe the back of the radio isn't making a proper connection? Possibly defective radio?

The stock radio works well just no sound with the new radio.

[just2asian]

hmmm... so I'm gonna assume that the new radio is aftermarket. I'd check all the connections, cuz I assume you had to connect your own wiring harness together. I'd say:

Step 2: check wiring

[terrastrife]

make sure the green/grey green/black or somethign like that is connected.

Check under the passenger seat to see if there is a factory amp there. If there is, you have to bypass the amp wiring.

if you say the car has no internal amp, make sure the stereo has one built in. weird as it may seem, there are still aftermakret stereos without a built in amp.

^ As he said. See if you have the 6-speaker system.

[Camary1995]

Would the stock tape player come with a amp? Where would the other speakers be if I had it?

[cmdrkettch]

If I'm not mistaken, that would be two component speakers in each door, for a total of four door speakers, and two more on the rear deck. The six speakers would be a sign of the upgraded sound system that has the external amp under the front passenger seat, right?

[ASG14]

^ Correct. The 2 extra speakers would be 1" and in the door handle.

Pretty much only the XLE trim level had the upgraded stereo with the componenet speakers in the door handle. Sounds more like you forgot to hook up the right wires. That is why, in my opinion it is much better to by the harness adapter that plugs into the factory wiring and then splice tht into the radio harness. That way if you ever decide to remove the aftermarket head unit you still ahve wiring to reinstall the factory unit. Those only cost like 15 bucks last time I got one.

[solarinsocal]

Different for wagons I guess. I have 8 speakers in mine.

[Camary1995]

I bought the aftermarket harness. I would never cut the wires and splice it in. I bought another cd player so I will try that one. I hope it works.
