    I searched and found nothing so I figured I would ask before hacking at wires so people can find this for future reference. I got my HU installed and working but as I was getting ready to button things up I noticed the SWC1, SWC2, and SWC ground wires on the back of my HU along with a little harness that has just three wires left over from pulling the stock deck and a light bulb went on. I did find a Youtube video where the guy has the same situation on his Toyota but the wires are brighter colored than the muted colors on mine.

    Just wondering if anybody knows for sure which wires are which before I start twisting shit together.

    Thanks in advance and I will post to solution myself when I have it if nobody else knows.

    Okay so the color are muddled so to speak but in 2006, the colors were sort of like this:

    Purple with off White stripe (middle) - SW1
    Dull orange with Red stripe (right) - SWG
    Mustard with Black stripe (left) - SW2

    The stripes are the bigger indicator than the oddly colored wires themselves.
