Install JBL Premium System Question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I recently purchased a JBL Premium Sound H/U on Ebay to replace the H/U in my 2006 Avalon so I can install a intergrated Sat tuner. Does anyone know if I the H/U without the separate amp?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

From what i know and did on my car you have to have the h/u and the amp but i did replace the headunit with an aftermarket than tried to use the amp but dident work.

As far as i know, the premium JBL headunits will not work without the external amp system. On top of that its usualy a different plug to connect it to the wiring.

Thanks for the reply. I am debating wether to look for the amp and harness or get a sat ready h/u.

It's a lot more than that, the harness will require you running it through the car and everything. The ammount of work needed would be just as much as doing an aftermarket setup.
