Radio Wires

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of what each radio wire does or is suppose to do?

Search is your friend. There are no significant differences in the wiring between the years. Don't bother with the blue plug (which actually does vary between the years) for the useless subwoofer.

Se AJ's diagram here

Subscribed! Thanks Rich, I should do something about the wiring on my non-existent radio as well. I really appreciate that you didn't just give the same old "USE SEARCH FOOL!" without any other help. It seems like all of the important threads are slowly becoming harder and harder to find.

Thanks Guys i was really having trouble finding anything useful on then search (i might need to get to know it a little more) besides the bonehead that had the car before i did really made a mess of things with the wires cause i couldn't make heads or tales of it.

Great help thanks again.

The Scosche is at most Walmarts for $6-7. I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. Just look for the ones that fit Toyota, then check the list on the back for 82-9x Supra.

But if your wires are cut (common) there is no reason to get the adapter. You'll do the same number of wiring connections, but the adapter make the color coding easy (gray to gray, green to green, etc.); without it you have to figure out the wires (purple to brown or such). Our cars are before the colors were standardized.
