I just realized after all these years that I spelled stereo wrong in the title lol. I'm glad it has helped so many people out.So many people start new threads and this is the only one anyone needs for doing this job. People can't find it due to the spelling, is there any mods who could change it so it is easier to find?
Edit: and fixed!

So in the end, this wiring still removed the factory amp. I am in minority as I am hoping to replace the HU and preserve the original set up as much as I could. It looks like the wiring diagram in post #22 by asutherland would support for factory amp. Is it correct?
Can you help me by being more specific on the pin position, moved from where to where and what color ?.I ended up moving the pin position in the plug to the dash light dimming switch. This allows me to adjust the stereos brightness with the dimming knob to the left of the steering wheel. All good now
The purple says power antenna which is attached to what?
Anyone happen to have a Lexus head unit? Looking for an am/fm/tape/cd unit that I can open up and see how the lights work. My unit works great, just no button lights and didn't want to attempt to repair unless I kind know what I am getting into... If that makes since..
I used the Alpine iLX-W650 and KTA-450 4-channel power amp. The amp bolts right to the back of the Head unit (The head unit is non-CD so its shallow) and allows the units to be screwed together making a single unit. Spendy but great sound. Next is the Sub-woofer! I got mine from Crutchfield.I'm in the process of replacing my factory HU. I can PM you when I've got it all sorted out. Still researching how to wire in a new/aftermarket amp in place of the crappy OEM amp, and I haven't pulled the trigger on a new HU yet.
