2005 Prius aftermarket stereo install pdf.

Good post. This should be stickied or something.

 

Damn man this is tremendous, if i was a little less lazy I might be inclined to actually try this myself. Still this will be a useful reference to whoever installs my system. Thanks man.

 

yeah it's probably not but after dealing with some local install clowns it'll be good to have some documentation.

 

I have the DNX-6140 Double DINs to replace the stock head unit. I have Scosche TA2103B kit with the harness for the 20-pins. While attempting to install yesterday, I discover that it does not have the 12v, ACC or Ground wires.

I think I will need to get BHA1761 to avoid splicing OEM harness. Please confirm so that I can place an order. TIA.

 

Agreed, sticky it.

 

This is the harness that came with Scosche TA2103B. As per the instruction, soldered 560 ohm resistor between the white and brown wires then to SWI-JACK white wire. Black goes to black.

I have red (12v) and yellow (ACC) wires from SWI-JACK to connect to. I think that goes to the 10 pin harness from BHA1761.

Let me know if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

 

I took a pic of the back of DNX-6140. I grouped together Red, Yellow and Black wires together. I used them to test with my PC power supply (HD molex connector) and confirmed working. I just need to connect them to the car harness to get power.

 

Thanks, I think I figured it out.

The harness (with white connector) that I had connected to the steering wheel interface has the resistor mod for the A/C. It also comes with the audio RCA plugs to connect the head unit to the Aux input inside the center armrest.

I need BHA1761 for the power and to the speakers. I do not have an amp so BHA1761 will connect to the head unit directly to the speakers without extra wiring.

 

Will any 68ohm resistor work? I cannot post links of resistors as I have less than 5 posts but if someone would be so kind as to post a(some) link(s) to a(some) resistor(s) that will work I would be very appreciative.

I want to make sure I have all of the parts assembled before I mess with something that could in theory mess my climate controls up. thank you.

Edit: Never mind, the resistor comes with the package.

 

Could someone tell me what wattage the 68 ohm resistor needs to be please? 5w? 1w?

 

I saw somewhere it was .5 watt. That's the one I bought at Radioshack for like $1.29 or so.

The worker was like why do you need a resistor so small! And I pulled up the pdf on my phone and showed him.. he was speechless

 

I followed the instructions for the 68 ohm resister. now my remote lock will not work.

 

Yeah, just remember that if you have the fancy JBL option in the 2005 Prius, you'll need a different wiring harness than the standard Toyota one that all of these manuals refer to.

 

Situation:

I have a 2009 Prius Base (non-JBL edition).

I bought this double-DIN Dasaita Max 6 Andriod Auto head unit and I also purchased the Dasaita wiring harness (pics attached below) .

After installing the stereo with the wiring harness above, all of the stereo functions work great but the MFD is coming up with the dreaded "Check the connection to the air conditioner" message. I do not want to leave my factory stereo inserted in the car.

Plan: As I already have the Dasaita harness, I bought a 68 ohm 0.5 watt resistor from ebay. (I have a soldering iron and don't mind working with it.)

Questions:

1. Using the Dasaita harness above, can I avoid buying the Metra one as long as I splice in the resistor on the factory harness as indicated in the Metra PDF?
2. If that plan won't work, what should I do? I don't mind buying another harness if needed, but before I go doing any splicing I'd like to be really careful.

Thank you for any pointers you can provide, hopefully this will also help anyone else who has purchased a Dasaita head unit.

Did you ever get the remote fixed? What troubleshooting steps did you take to make it work? Thank you for any follow-up.
