I just bought a used 1999 4Runner Limited, with no radio. I know nothing about 4Runners, so I have some pretty basic questions that I hope someone out there can answer...
First, how do I know which original equipment (not after-market) stereo to put in it? It has the double-high opening. There is one co-axial type cable that looks like a standard antenna cable. Then there's a second, smaller one. (What is that smaller antenna cable for?) Finally, there's a white, rectangular block plug that appears to have all the wires for power, speakers, etc. The truck has six speakers.
Below the radio opening, deep in the dash innard, there's a silverish metal box with cooling fins on it that looks like it could be an amp.
I called a dozen junkyards, none of which were any help. I called a Toyota dealer and they quickly redirected me to a junkyard, so I didn't get any useful info out of them.
On eBay, I've seen some double-high stereo/CD/cassette units that look promising (e.g., P/N 56808), but they have two block plug recepticals on the back and I only have one block plug (that I know of) in my truck. Is it the case that you use only one of those recepticals for a given installation?
Any help in identifying the proper unit for my 1999 4Runner would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
