Help with Radio/harness swap - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am replacing oem radio/cassette with an oem radio/cd that I got off e-bay, on my 98 Camry. The original radio has a 10 pin and 6 pin connection, but the cd unit has a 12 pin and 15 pin recepticle. What do I need to get [part numbers etc] so that I do not need to cut any wires? I'm thinking a female plug fitting the old male plug(s), and a 15 pin male plug to go into the cd, then splicing the two. But, i don't know if they exist, or where to get them. Is there such a thing already made up? Also, why does the cd player have two connectors? Thanks.

Did your car come with the JBL system? Or are you replacing it with the JBL system?

JBL? I do not know what that is. I'm putting in a simple oem am/fm/cd in place od the am/fm/cassette.

OK I think what you bought off ebay is the CD player that uses the external amplifier, since it has different harness'. I'm not 100% sure though, hopefully Luc or 88LE will jump in on this one...
