Hi, I posted a long time ago about upgrading my sound system and I was planning to use a line converter to conver the line level inputs to the RCA jacks for hte amplifier. The item I cought was the PAC OEM-2. The instruction on how to hook it up is here: http://www.pac-audio.com/instructions/oem2instr.pdf I was wondering if anyone could help tell me which wires(the ones located on the back of the JBL head unit) goes to which lines on the line converter. Any help is greatly appreciated. One more thing, for those who upgraded their sound system, was there a hole in the firewall you used to pass the power wire from the battery to the inside of the car? Thanks! -William C

The following are the pin numbers and wire colors for the harness connecting to the head unit for HLs with the "premium" JBL system: Pin Wire Color Description 1 blue/yellow +12V/constant power * 20 brown GND 3 green/yellow Remote 9 black Line-level FL 8 white Line-level FR 19 red Line-level RL 18 green Line-level RR 16 yellow Line-level common/return 10 bare wire Shield 11 gray ACC IN/switched power ** 17 blue BEEP 7 brown MUTE 13 black/red ANT * Goes to "25A RADIO NO. 1" fuse in fuse block in engine compartment ** Goes to "7.5A RADIO NO. 2" fuse in fuse block in engine compartment Since the JBL head unit already has line-level RCA-level outputs, you don't need the adapter as I was able to connect my JBL head unit directly to my aftermarket amp successfully. However, if you still want to use the adapter for some of its other features (such as the variable level controls), you would use configuration 3 in the OEM-2 instructions as follows: JBL Head Unit OEM-2 Pin(wire color) Wire color 9(black) white/red 8(white) gray/red 19(red) green/red 18(green) violet/red 16(yellow) white/black, gray/black, green/black and violet/black 1(blue/yellow) yellow 11(gray) red 20(brown) black 3(green/yellow) blue/white (I'm not positive about the JBL HU pin 11(gray) to OEM-2 red connection; this is my best guess; this may not be needed by your aftermarket amp). Note that you want to maintain the existing connections to the JBL head unit when tapping into the harness. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

ebay has great selection at good prices. I got set for my 2004 HL. I was so happy with it, then I got a set for my 2003 camry. There are one or two sellers on the eaby who specialize in toyota seat covers. HEre is the link http://search.ebay.com/highlander_Seat-Covers_W0QQfromZR8QQsacate- goryZ33702QQsorecoZ2QQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1 or look for highlander seat. Just make sure you read descriptions. they are all different. power seat or manual or side air bag. |

Replying to: landdriver (Nov 03, 2004 10:10 pm) I was examining the car today for a way for the power wire to go frm the engine to the inside of the car. Are there any suggestions or is it required for me to drill a hole thru the firewall myself?

Replying to: wwlccp (Nov 06, 2004 1:33 pm) I just tapped into the existing power so don't have experience going through the firewall, but took a look under the dash and there's an existing harness that goes through the firewall above the parking brake pedal and emerges in the engine compartment in a convenient area and on the same side as the battery, so I would try routing the wires through this existing hole, or drill a hole right next to it if for some reason you encounter problems routing the wires through it. Good luck!

Replying to: landdriver (Nov 06, 2004 7:10 pm) One last thing.. I have the 01 HL Limited with the JBL package. Does the stock headunit have the anit-theft built onto it? If there is, then would I have the code to unlck it after I disconnect the battery or do i have to go back to the dealership for them to enter it in.

Nav system disables all programming functions while in motion. While, I see Toyotas purpose (sic) safety, I travel alot with my wife and navigator and would like to be able to defeat this so called safety feature,(since I have already punched a disclaimer button to start the system). Toyota does'nt even give me the courtesy of an answer. Pulling over on the road is the only way to do it(this is safer?) BTW the system works great, just dont try to change it on the fly. Anybody
