Today, I had my existing aftermarket head unit and equalizer removed, to make way for the empeg. The local Sound Advice refused to touch the empeg, so I have to install it myself.
However, I'm at a loss in my search for a harness kit for this car. I'd rather not tear into the existing harness, since I'm probably going for a new car in a year or so anyway, and I'd like to be able to put the factory system back in quickly and painlessly.
The "70-1761" Metra kit claims to be appropriate, but from the terrible pictures of it on the net, I really can't see how it would help me. What I think I really need is a connector that adapts the one I've attached to the post into a pigtail, or even better, into the ISO connector on the back of the empeg sled.
Anyone have any ideas, or has someone completed a Celica install successfully?
I can't turn to Sound Advice for help, since they've washed their hands of the whole thing.
Thanks,
--Defiler.
P.S.
If you need a better shot of what the dash looks like right now, here's the enormous original straight from the camera.
