For 1988 FJ62
Wanted to swap out factory radio for Kenwood for CarPlay and rear view camera. Used the metra harness and wired everything to the Kenwood harness; removed Toyota unit and plugged in the Metra, seemed easy but alas no power to unit. Tried to do a separate ground wire based on some research, but no luck.
Have read that perhaps the Metra harness (recommended by Crutchfield) may not line up properly with the Toyota harness wiring for power but unsure how to proceed.
Caveat...I am not an expert but have done some other projects with success. Just not sure how to determine if this is a wiring issue, fuse issue or something else above my pay grade. Chat GPT has only made things more complicated...
Thanks for any guidance!
