Hey! Is there any chance you can provide a walk through for the 2006 Toyota Matrix. I bought the kit but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. EDIT: The wiring part is done and everything works, I just cant mount it.

I have a 2009 Pontiac Vibe Gt... would I have any issues regarding the factory amplifier connection. GT has the subwoofer in back. Thanks

Ok. Thank you.

So I have the Toyota matrix 2009, do I need the $58 wiring harness for the steering wheel with radio control or no?

Hi I have a 2012 matrix. Does this parts work for it?

Lower fm radio reception happens with these Chinese radios. Does the Toyota Matrix require 12v (blue wire) to be connected to somewhere in the car, such as a factory antenna booster? Does the 2009 Matrix have a factory antenna booster hidden somewhere? I noticed when I removed my factory radio, there are 2 more adfitional Harness connections that go to who knows where? I didn't need an antenna adapter. The existing connection just plugged in perfect.

Nice video, plus the one for the backup camera. Any tips on integrating the stock audio controls in the steering wheel?

Are these part’s compatible with 2012 Toyota Matrix?

Great video! I bought the wiring for a 2010 Vibe. You wired a back camera up in a 2009, so I thought the wiring I bought would match the colors you used. Did you put the radio in a different model year? Also, there are multiple green wires on the adaptor harness I have. Does it matter which green wire I match it to on the radio wiring, or is color for color adequate?Thanks!

I now see one is a green/black wire, not solid green. The 70-2105 harness is not equipped with orange/black or orange wires. How do I connect a dimmer? Additionally, what do I connect the JoyBring Orange (illumination) wire to?

So I’m confused on how to do the fuse part?

Hi, For a 2010 Toyota Matrix Base. What antenna adapter will be suitable and would I have to perform the dimmer orange cable swap? Thank You!

Just plug the factory connector in. I'm not sure why this guy made all this so complicated. You don't have to run a red wire. It's in the $5.39 wiring adapter from Metra.

Well, I thought this would be super easy after watching your excellent video, but it turns out the wiring in our 2010 Matrix XR looks different than the Metra 70-2105 Wiring Harness Adapter has. I can't seem to post a photo, but it has 4 connectors, not just the two on the adaptor harness. I assume one is for the steering wheel controls, but the location of the colored wires doesn't line up at all with the Metra warning harness. The radio we're replacing is a Fujitsu Ten, Toyota part 86120-02710. Any suggestions for a suitable harness?

OK< it worked perfectly. 2 of the factory harnesses not needed.

I bought the kits you linked. My metra 70-2105 wiring harness does not fit my 2003 Pontiac Vibe. And the metra 95-8224 does not fit my factory mount either. Like even if I shave it Downcomber it will not fit Is through the actual space. Im confused, mine does not look like the wiring harness you are using. But it is the exact wiring harness you show a photo of while talking about the Metra harness I'm wondering if I should Just find a wiring diagram for the car's wiring harness. Then just saw her the head units wiring harness to those wires? I would much rather return these parts that don't fat and get this working tonight.

You purchased the wrong parts. See the parts linked in the description have different years categories, so you've purchased the wrong harness. See the description for the right parts. *Metra 70-2003 Wiring Harness Adapter: amzn.to/3pqidYV

How did you determine which location was correct for the dimmer? Did you use trial-and-error, or did you find a schematic?

Hey there. Thanks for your video. I got the swrty 61j but the connections don't actually fit my 2009 matrix. I have three white connectors and what looks like a blue IR connector in my dash. Any advice would be awesome.

Ok after some tinkering and properly looking for all the parts in the crux box.. I found the correct harness and got to it. Pleased to say that EVERYTHING WORKS! thanks for the video - really I'm so happy with the unit. Didn't think it would make such a difference to the sound but dang. Also the android feature is great. Let me know if you have any videos for a 2011 tacoma. that's next on my list!

@@BP-dt5bx thanks so much for the quick response. I plan on installing it tomorrow so hopefully all goes well.

The Metra 70-2105 harness does not match up with the radio, as there is no orange wire or orange/black wire. I had to purchase an alternative harness, which was disappointing. While I connected everything and it works, I have no idea what to do regarding a dimmer, because I am not sure the advice in the video was accurate for the 2010 Vibe, and neither harness I purchased has a orange/black wire. The mounting bracket included does not fit a 2010 Vibe and has to be modified on the left lower bracket (Sawer or Filed down). This would have been better, if explained. Otherwise, the video was well done.

Not the same for 2010 Matrix either, had to get a different Metra adapter 70-1761. I'm also struggling to find the source for an Orange illumination wire.. may have to tap the parking light +12v on the headlight switch for illimunation on Nakamichi na6605. Not super looking forward to that..

Can anyone comment as to why the Vibe/matrix would need a separate 12v connection? everything looks copasetic on the harness end.

For the gm version (not the Toyota version), there is no 12v analog accessory wire at the radio as it’s driven by data. There isn’t a supporting smart harness for the gm version, hence why you need to run a 12v accessory wire to the fuse box or similar location

I put an Android HU in my 2009 Vibe w/Monsoon. Everything works great except I can't seem to get the steering wheel controls to work. I have seen a few diagrams showing the pin locations for the vehicle's harness, but I don't know which of the remaining wires on the ISO connector hook up to them. I have ILL, KEY1, and KEY2 wires left unused on the HU side. I also have a hissing sound very noticeable at low volumes. I'm guessing that might have something to do with the signal coming out of the HU being amplified and not line level?

That will get you into water REALLY fast. Hacking up the harness, and jerry rigging the radio without the proper parts is a recipe for disaster. Just because you are okay with those standards doesn’t mean everyone else should stoop to that level.
