Help needed, installing Pioneer 5900IB on 97 Camry XLE

[roubaozi]

I am trying to install a Pioneer DEH-5900IB on my 97 Camry XLE, I bought the harness and have most cable connected except two which I don't know how to connect.

Here I have some questions:
1) At the back of my factory radio, I have a harness plug and two small cables (looks like antenna), what are them ? Which one should I plug into the antenna on the back of the 500IB HU ? Here are pictures of my factory radio:





2) In the Pioneer 5900IB Installation manually, it says "If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect the blue/white cable (on the HU end harness) to the antenna booster power supply terminal", but where is the "antenna booster power supply terminal" ?

3) On the car-end harness I purchased for Toyota, there is a blue cable labeled "power antenna", where do I connect it to ?

Does anybody have experience with 97 Camry Radio installation ?

Thanks for your help in advance and Happy New Year !

just plug in whatever plug fits into your aftermarket HU. im pretty sure its the big one but just try it. one will suffice. if you wanted to plug in both, you would have to get an antenna splitter or something similar. too much of a pain in the ass if u ask me

I'll take a try, how about the blue cable labeled "power antenna", where should I connect it to ?

[MrSo0h0o]

just terminate it. u wont need it because you have the up/down antenna

So does "power antenna" mean power supply for antenna ? I have glass antenna on my camry then does that mean I only need that "big" antenna cable ? Thanks

im 99% sure all u would need to do is plug in that cord into your aftermarket HU.. thats all i had to do with my 05

Just use the big antenna plug. Never had a problem doing that in any of the many installs I've done.

Went to Futureshop last night and talked to a installer a little bit, he said the small cable is a diversified antenna, it is only needed by the factory radio, I won't notice the different if I only connect the big antenna cable. And also about the blue/white cable on the aftermarket radio wiring harness, he suggested me connect it to the blue cable (labeled "power antenna") even I don't have a power antenna.

Now my new radio is working !

While I found my old front speakers are not working properly now, the front door panel will hum and vibrate (especially the one on the driver side), not sure if that's the problem of the speakers or something got loose somehow (maybe when I was testing the bass from the new radio) ? Not sure if I need to change my front speakers or what ? if so, which ones are good ?
