I wish I had found this video (and the comments) before I ordered my new stereo -- this is my first time doing this and I didn't realize that I needed to buy a wire harness. (It was kind of glossed over in the video but I finally put two and two together when I watched it a second time and read through the comments. :D) Thanks so much for putting this together, it's really helpful!
George I did it! thanks again. only issue I had was that the brakets didn't fit on my after market stereo, I need a kit to be able to use the brakets other than that everything works perfect.
I appreciate you taking the time to do this video... I will install an Alpine in my daughters 2000 Corolla tomorrow, and this video will help me do that!
+Casey Niederhauser You are welcome, I learned a lot from youtube. I have done this many times and still doing it on my cars. you save a bundle of money with DIY.
Note: You can buy the Harness specific to your car from ebay or amazon, and there will be extra wires depending on the options you may or may not have (i.e. power antenna) that you just leave alone if not matched. This applies to any stereo alpine or a different brand and to any car corolla or anything else, as long as you have the correct car specific harness. I have done it at least 8 times including navigation units, same process.
Thanks for the video. i did matched same colors with new stereo to adapter wires but when i tried to plug in this adapter the wires are different with the car wires (like in video 14:50 you were connecting wires these are different as of the adapter wires ).
Sree g : some wires will not match, do not connect these. They are for things like power antenna where you may not have this option and so on. If wire colors don’t match, don’t connect them. Thank you.
Thanks for this video George, I'm installing a Pyle PLD11BT Touch Screen Control - Motorized & Detachable Display - USB Flash & Micro SD Memory Card Reader this unit I'm using has a 10 - Inch Touchscreen, it'll also allow the mirror / streaming of my android phone to 10 inch touchscreen so I can watch netflix etc on touchscreen and use all my android apps on the touchscreen...wish me luck.
Hi Mr. George, I have the same exact car but I've been having the hardest time find the right radio to fit the dash w/o shaving down the edges. what's the exact measurements of the the radio your using?
Thanks. I just did this on my Corolla and the stereo works but now one of my headlights doesn't work and all the passenger windows don't work. Any idea why?
ok so my 2002 does not have one of the contctor cords for the back of the radio its the one on the out side away from the intini wire an have taken apart the whole dash an not found it any idea on what to do to fix my radio?
Hey, I am going to attempt to install a radio in my 2001 Corolla. My car did not have a radio when I purchased it, so I have to get the radio brackets from a used parts place or from Toyota. Now, I'm also realizing that I don't have a wiring harness in the car, there are just a group of bundled wires with scotch tape at the ends. What should I do? Take it to a professional? Or can I buy an additional wiring harness that connects to those wires? P.S. I've already purchased a wiring harness, ties, and krimp caps. And I had a kit, but I realized I didn't need it after watching this video.
Tesfa Ayana Hi, you need to connect the wiring harness you purchased to the new stereo, then those plugged end into the car plugs. I am sure what you found bundled is the car stereo wiring. it just never had radio but wiring exits ( I'm almost sure). you can do this your self, it really easy, just color match the wires. the results will be thrilling.
I went to an auto part salvage store and got them to cut the connectors out of one of their Corollas. Hopefully, those can be wired to the wires in the dash. However they only gave me two connectors, I don't have 3 like whats shown in your video.
I almost paid a stereo installation place to do it, but they said $118 for everything and $50 just to wire the salvaged connectors to the wires in the car. I'm just going to see if my brother can do everything for free on Thurs.
