Those look like antenna adapters?
My best guess.

Do you have two antennas? One in the back window glass and a reg. one?

It's called dual diversity antenna. My 88 supra had that. Use whichever one fits, if they both fit, try both out to see which one will give you better reception.

i only have one antenna, but two cords and where do i plug it in to the pioneer deck?

DrtySthV6SE · 04-20-2005, 09:09 PM

there should be a big ass hole in the back of the deck near one of the corners

You have diversity tuning capabilities from the OEM radio. Just connect the left one pictured to the new deck, and leave the other one unattached. Put a piece of electrical tape over the plug to prevent any contact with metal or moisture.

Any chance that one of the cords has something to do with the alarm? Does the car have an alarm?

I ask only because my 96 Camry has two cords also that plug into the back, and I thought one of them was for my alarm.

Thanks!

The alarm feature, in my 94 cam, was simply whether or not the HU was powered. When you unplug it, it "goes off" (locks, and requires 3 digit PIN to unlock) there are no alarm lead-ins or anything like that
..that I know of....?

you probably dont need it. your deck will operate perfectly fine without it. It's jsut the antennae cables. you dont need them... I didint use them.

Its OK, they usually are

the two leads are antenna the left looks genuine anr the right after market if you dont have two external antenna I'd go with the right one as it was probibly fitted because the Gen. one was not good enough.
PS you dont have a paging alarm system do you? this is the other explanasion.

I also have those two plugs in my Cam. I just plugged in the bigger one, sicne there was no where else to plug the smaller one. Haven't had any problems with it.
