Default Question about stock radio

Proably a stupid question,But is the plug on the back of the radio a toyota configuration or Pioneer?
I just picked up a DEH-P8400MP but dont have a power cord for it and Pioneer wants better than $40 for the cord.
Before I pull the dash apart does anybody know if it will plup right in?


Thanks,Scott

No it is a toyota harness, only one radio will pop right in with those factory plugs and it is an Eclipse double-din navigation unit. But metra makes the harness for us, model # 70-1761, normaly runs between $15-$18.

Thats what I figured,I ordered a adapter kit with wiring to plug into the factory wiring, Now I need the harness for the radio.
Anybody know where I can get one cheap?I only paid $50 for the radio.

Circuit city sells the pioneer harness for $17.99, if you have one near you or try a local custom shop and they might have one for you.

Ok I took back the harness and they dont know where to get one,My next question is does anybody know what the pinout of this radio is? Pioneer DEH-P8400MP
so I can just solder the wiring harness to the pins.

Before you go through all that did you try calling Pioneer, to see if they can send you the harness for it. You would have to wait a little for it, but would save you some headaches trying to solder on to the pins, i wish i had one at work because i would send it to you. Good luck man.

Pioneer wants about $40 shipped I found one on E-Bay for $22 so I hope it fits.
