  1. Okay... I've seen many posts here about the availability of a wiring harness for the 92-96 ES300, but they all seemed to be conflicting. I read that Metra makes one, but I haven't been able to find it. I've heard that folks walked into BestBuy and Circuit City and walked out with one, but I wasn't able to do that (couldn't find it on their websites either). And the most recent one I saw is that a Toyota wiring harness (more recent one?) would work. So what should I do and where should I look? My new Sony in-dash MP3 Reciever will be here in a week or so from Crutchfield, so the only thing I need is a wiring harness (Crutchfield supplied the install kit and they carried the PAC OEM-2 to hook up to the factory amp under the passenger's seat). If I can't find it, I'll get by, but would make life easier. Thanks in advance for any advice...
  2. Crutchfield.com carries the installation kit for mounting the new radio and an item called a PAC OEM-2 that allows you to connect to the factory amp (see the links below). I'm just about to order my stuff from them, so I haven't used any of it yet; but I've heard nothing but good things about Crutchfield. My question is where to get a wiring harness? That's the one item I can't get my hands on. If anyone knows, please share... I'm putting up a separate post about it since I don't know how many folks will find my question buried in this post. Here's the info on the install kit and PAC OEM-2 (which I have also seen available elsewhere): INSTALLATION KIT: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XtZDubru7ta/c...1&avf=Y&search= PAC OEM-2: Lets you connect an aftermarket radio to a common-ground speaker system • convert a factory radio's speaker-level outputs to preamp-level signal • add aftermarket amplifiers to factory premium systems (Bose • JBL • etc.) • connect an aftermarket radio to a factory amplifier http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XtZDubru7ta/c...1&avf=Y&search=
  3. I've got a '92 ES300 and I'm having a problem with the stock radio/Pioneer CD Changer. I had to jumpstart the car about 2 days ago and, as usual, I lost all my radio presets (no big surprise). However, I noticed another problem. When the car was originally purchased, it came with the standard Pioneer CD Changer and the radio faceplate with four buttons: AM, FM1/2, TAPE & CD. After the jumpstart, AM still controls AM, but FM/1/2 controls FM 1, TAPE controls FM2 and CD controls TAPE... so I cannot start the CD changer. Any thoughts on what the problem may be and how I can go about fixing it? Based on some of my own research, I've been given the impression that perhaps there's an issue with the CD changer itself (loose wire, etc.); however, I've also read that it could be an electrical issue that caused the head unit to return to it's original factory presets (if you've seen the standard radio when no CD Changer was installed, the four buttons are AM, FM1, FM2, & TAPE). I've jumpstarted the car before after some battery issues, but never had this problem. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... DamletDPR.
