Help to install Alpine HU

need help to install new Alpine INE-W940 HU. I am not to technical, i bought the metra wiring harness for toyota that is supposed to work with it. i am not very technical when it comes to stuff like this so please help. what all do i need to do. i have looked on google and cannot find much

 

there should be instructions with both the ine-w940 and the wiring harness that tell you which wires need to be connected where. Did you also get a dash kit and antenna adapter?

 

yes i got both, im trying to figure out a fuse i belive i have blown now

 

If you have no idea what you are doing do yourself a favor and post a thread in your local section here on TW and ask someone for help. Not understanding how a fuse works properly or how to wire up electrical on a basic level will cause damage to your equipment or even worse, catch fire.

 

my stock radio wont even work now, so i think it is a fuse im not sure?

 

i know i have a fuse blown i just hadnt gotten a hance to look yet so do yourself a favor instead of posting nothing useful give some advice

i just like to do things by myself and not pay someone to do it for me pal

 

I don't think he was trying to be an ass about it. I think he was giving you sound advice by telling you someone local may be willing to lend you a hand. Your first post did come off as someone with very little knowledge so he was just trying to help and didn't want to see someone ruin their equipment.

 

Pretty easy, I just installed a double din for the first time myself, you should get a wiring harness specific to your tacoma, as well as a wiring harness with your double din. Match up the matching color wires (stripe to stripe, non stripe to non stripe). Strip the ends of the wires of their plastic covering. Twist the copper wires on the tacoma harness and alpine harness together, put a connector over it and crimp it. Do this to all of the matching wires. You may have some wires left over on your alpine harness, so do not connect those. Then its all plug and play from there.

 

thanks all, im having trouble gettijng power to the head unit all of my fuses are good in the fuse box under the dash, i just need to figure out what fuse to check in the engine bay fuse box

 

should be 3 power lines. always on, key on, ground

should be 8 speak wires. 4 colors, one with a stripe and one without.

connect all those and turn it on.

check all your fuses...including the one on the HU.

 

all done, wired up andn working perfectly
