Car Stereo - Caldina GTT Question

Post by Rager »

Hi All

Well it would appear that isn't an illumination line that come out the Loom for the Car stereo. Meaning when the lights come on the Bright blue Stereo doesn't dim.

Can anyone tell me which line needs to be spliced into for this to work?

I have the Auto setting for the lights so when it gets dark enough it turns on the lights.

Hope somebody can help otherwise its going to be a long saturday :)

Thanks kindly

Ryan

Standard Toyota its a green wire. I have a funny feeling the 'dina's could be different. Multimeter would be the best way to check.

With the aerial booster wire, is that a 12v (or 5v etc) feed from the factory stereo to the aerial? Reason I ask is I've had a different head unit in mine for 6 months or so and don't have great reception, if I power up this wire will my reception improve?

It's generally 12v, and it won't so much improve, but you'll actually get reception :wink:

One thing to note is that not all stereo's support the auto-dimmer facility despite the orange wire being present in the loom...

A lot of modern (late 90's-) toyotas use the one piece riveted speaker/spacer design from molded plastic (cheaper). Some 25mm MDF and a jigsaw is useful for making spacers to suit the aftermarket speakers
