Thanks Spect2K3 ;)

 

No problem, I hope that helps! Just be patient b/c it can get a little frustrating - at least it did for me!

 

Hey Spec, quick clarification. is that (Toyota Harness) Brown/Black to (Eclipse) Pink, and (Toyota) Brown to (Eclipse) Orange?

Thanks,

 

I'm reaching back in my memory, but I believe that that is what I remember. In any case, that is the only situation that makes sense to me!

 

SWC are on the same Toyota harness as the aux input that connects to the stock HU.
I believe it's a white 20-pin connector.

SWC are 3 wires in that harness, Orange, Pink, and Green.
Eclipse harness colors are brown/black and brown.

Toyota harness:
Orange - ground
Pink - Volume/Seek buttons
Green - Mode button


Splice Orange to ground
Splice Pink to Brown/Black
Splice Green to Brown

 

Ah, my apologies, my memory must have failed me. I switched green and orange. Thanks for the clarification 2_tC

 

Orange should have a lead that doesn't need splicing

 

WeaponX6X,

you got the SWC to work without needing to splice the orange wire to ground?

 

No I haven't messed with the SWC, but there's an orange cable with my wire kit that I connected to the ground from my Eclipse. Is there another one I'm not aware of?

 

Which wire kit? The one that comes with the Eclipse or an aftermarket harness?

 

This:

The orange wire on that harness (from Crutchfield site) should be spliced into the orange wire of the Eclipse supplied harness. It's for the HU illumination power.


The orange wire that I mentioned earlier that needs to be grounded is in the SWC/aux input wire harness. This harness is inside the console behind the radio.

Sorry for any confusion.

 

lol now I'm confused. Where is the harness you're talking about? I noticed there were three cables that plugged into the stock HU but I only used two of them with the harness. Is that what you're referring to?

 

The SWC wires are on the 3rd harness that you didn't use on the new HU.

 

ahh I see. Makes sense. Okay...so which ground wire does the orange connect to? Is there another one on the HU for SWC controls?

 

You can connect the orange to the same ground used for the HU. The brown/black and solid brown wires from the HU are the SWC wires.

 

Nice, thanks a lot!

 

Cool, I just finished hookin up the SWU cables...it worked.

So there is no way to use the AUX input with an aftermarket HU?

 

you can buy an aux cable. aux105 is the number that hooks up to the eclipse HU. You're losing the aux port in the center console, but you can still have an aux port

 

Sorry, I should have clarified. How do I not lose the aux port in the center console? What wires is it? I think it's gonna be two of the wires that are on the same cable the SWU controls. Perhaps splicing an RCA cable and hooking it up will work?


btw, splicing the SWU cables was very easy as long as you can strip extremely thin wires. I used scissors and it wasn't too bad.
