LX470 headunit wiring harness help (2 Viewers)

[gamecock2009]

My 2000 470 came with an older kenwood aftermarket headunit and it recently crapped out so I am going to replace it with a basic double din touch screen. Ive read through alot of the posts made about this and if anyone can pipe in...

The splicing the previous owner did looks like it would matchup with the new harness (colors match etc). Ive read that I need an adapter like this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00133RCCC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but do i really at this point? I am not going to bypass factory harness and the current setup doesnt have this splitter and worked.

Nakamichi Update - '99 LX 470

Yes, I know this has been done and posted before - big thanks to @sk8salomon for their thread where I learned a lot: LX470 Stereo Upgrade with Nakamichi As many folks know, there is no adapter you can order to plug an aftermarket deck into the 22-pin connector (F) that our LX470s are equipped...

Not sure if you have the nakamichi system since you didn't have the factory unit installed when you got the truck, but from what I understand, since you don't have the OEM connector and the previous owner spliced the wires directly, it's probably a high chance that there's a Nakamichi amp on the other side of those wires.

The link above would be a good point to at least read and see if the wiring is matching what you have on your system.

Youre probably right, with the old headunit there was always a low hum and i always assumed it was the amp. Maybe ill bypass down the road. Side note is there anyway to fix this clip that i broke?

I would just try some super glue on that clip, see if it holds after the glue cures for a day, other than that? Not really anything short of buying a new fascia.
