Remote wire with stock hu? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Where could I hook up the remote wire if I am using my stock head unit in my 01 Solara? I dont want to take the center console apart or anything, so is there something I can hook it up too without taking anything apart? Thanks in advance everyone.

I ran mine to the fuse box and tapped in there, works fine.

Ok, any particular fuse? Or will any one due? Thanks for the help, I will just hook it up to something with the same amp fuse as the one in my amp.

I think I tapped into the ignition fuse, check your manual, it will tell you which one it is.

Thanks for the info bro, I taped into the radio fuse and it is working so far. I did notice that when I had the amp turned up almost all the way it was drawing alot of amps from the alternator so I had to turn the amp almost all the way down. Anybody else have this problem too? My amp is only a 200 watt amp too, maybe I will get a alternator that puts out more amps, has anybody done this and if so what kind of alternator did you go with??

do you mean the gain on the amp, you need to set that with a sine wave and multimeter, the gain is not a voiume knob.

I have a multi meter how do I do it and what is the other thing I need? Its not a good amp its a alphonics amp and subs from circuit city, cost me $200 for both. It sounds pretty good but I cant get it to sound good all the time, some songs sound better then others. Any tips on how to set it up would be great, there are a couple more dials I can mess with on it also but I have no idea what they are for, I never had a system in any of my other cars so this is all new to me. Thanks in advance bro...

Hey everyone I have another question about the stock hu in my 01 Solara SE, does the stock hu turn the bass down itself the louder its turned up? It seems like when I have it turned down it has more bass then when I have it cranked up. I am most likely gonna put in my Jensen head unit, how does the black plastic piece come off in the center console? I cant find any screws, does it pop off? I dont want to pull on it if it doesnt. Thanks in advance everyone
