- How to fix 2001 - 2007 Toyota Highlander [First (1st) Generation] with factory JBL Amp with no sound, static or humming sound in an Android headunit.
** It is very important to use Metra 70-8113 harness or harness similar in pin-outs. Pin 16 must have the four RCA grounded to it.**

You are the BEST! I used your instructions on a 2003 Toyota Camry with JBL and (with only slight mods) it worked perfectly! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
I appreciate your positive feedback ✨️ Could you share your mod for Camry with me at eazidiy@gmail.com?
I bought every single harness and adapter and nothing worked. This video solved the problem. Thank you so much. One thing, how did you wire the steering wheel controls?
Thank you for your positive feedback. The steering wheel connector plugs directly into the car's female connector. It's a 20 pin connector with just 3 wires on it.
Would you be able to make a video for that too? Thanks
I have another video on how to install Android radio into Highlander on my channel. Please check for reference. Thanks
I am also interested in how to connect the rear camera and my steering controls. Thank you very much.
You are God sent brother. I followed your instruction one by one and it worked perfectly. on first attempt .No more humming annoying sound. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are welcome my brother. I appreciate your positive feedback
Thank you, I modified my installation with your modifications…works great 😊 02/17 2023
Thank you for your positive feedback
You helped me out big time. Same issue, followed your schematic and it works! 👍
Thank you for the positive feedback
Thank you for this video it was super helpful!! So you didn't have to use the line output. You could have used the RCA's off of the head unit directly into the metra harness.
I could not because the pin out of the harness that came with headunit was wrong. Pin 3 and Pin 10 were missing.
@@eazidiy you can because I am doing it right now. I de-pinned the android unit and pined it in the metra harness. I have a picture but not sure how to post it here.
@DJTJ13 Yes, I know how to de-pin, but I wanted to show the raw connection. Not all radio harness have that option. Thanks for your positive contribution 🙏🏾
@@DJTJ13can you share?
I tried this on my Camry 06 SE V6 with JBL amp. Even though this setup significantly reduces the background noise, unfortunately in my case some portion of the noise is still present. Before I used Pipeman's BC-NR12 noise suppressors (2 pieces) on my battery and amp on lines, it gave the same effect with removing most of the noise, but still not all the noise. I guess my stereo is bad or something, but pins of the android stereo match those on the video, only in a different order.
Update: Actually I missed that it was possible to tune impedance with this device, now after I tuned it the noise is 99% gone, I can remove even 100% of the noise, but then the volume will be very low. I call it a success after so much frustration ! Thank you man, this is awesome ! Thanks for your advice in replies under this comment, I might try this too at some point.
I understand your frustration when it comes to removing noise from JBL amp. You a ground loop noise. Along with the setup you have now, buy and add this device to it amzn.to/3N37oK1
This PAC SNI-1 noise isolator. I have recommended it to people after converting high audio signal to low signal with LOC for JBL amp. It further removes noise.
If you buy it, plug the RCAs from PAC to your LOC. Then plug RCA of Metra 70-8113 harness to PAC. Let me know if that helps
@@eazidiy awesome advice, thank you so much and God bless you ! Please check my updated comment above, I think it's pretty much solved, but will keep this additional solution in mind. Do I need 2 of these devices for 4 RCA channels?
Yes you need 2 of the PAC for 4 channel audio
I've been suffering with this issue for about 2 months and the Ali Express seller has ghosted me, you're the first person I've found to seem to have the answer to my issue. I ordered the Line Output Converter and JBL Harness from your link on this video. Am gonna be working on it this weekend, is it possible for you to send me a copy of wiring diagram you have in the video?
Yes, send me an email eazidiy@gmail.com
Man i will be trying this ASAP you may have been the biggest hero in my life . Will update you!
Thank you for the positive feedback, Looking forward to your update. Do not hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance. Eazidiy@gmail.com
@@eazidiy Cant belive i let a year go by. Dude you are the Goat. Thank you so much for your video . Subscibed !
Excellent! Thank you providing a positive feedback. Thank you for the subscription 🙏🏾
My dude! Thank you so much! Followed your diagram exact and everything works. Thank you thank you!
You are very welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback 🙏🏾
Thank You ! this is what I was looking for
You are welcome
Thanks bro I’m in the process of hooking up the same kind of stereo and I’m having the same problem with the background noise
You are welcome and I hope the video will help 😊
Thank you for your help here. There's no reason an old car can't have a new radio! New life... I did follow all connections into the recommended harnesses and I did get rid of the audio noise but my volume is still sky high. Level one is way too loud. It seems the audio was not stepped down. Is it possible it needs to be more stepped down. Like 80%? I am about to give up and take it to a radio installer but would feel great to be able to accomplish this myself.
I am glad to hear the procedure was helpful to remove the whining noise. Unfortunately, I do not know why the gain of your Amplifier went up.
I struggle a lot too. The audio level from converter box was so low. On my bench, I feed to my home theater and sounds is loud enough. Well, I didn't do Amp on to converter box, but I do tied amp on to V-ACC at the metra similar harness. I'll try tomorrow with tying amp on of metra and converter box together...Hope it works. Thanks
I look forward to your update. Hopefully it work for you
@@eazidiy I got it to work finally thanks to your diagram. 1st problem was I couldn't get the JBL amp to turn on. I bought a cheap cable harness, about 10$, before I got your wiring for Metra connector. That connector doesn't have pin 3 - Amp on - and pin 16 - Signal Gnd. There're other unused wires on that connector, but I don't have tool to move them to pin 3 and pin 16, so I have to tap to the car wiring...that's undesirable. And I bought a signal converter which is defective? because amp -on produces only 2.8V, not 12V, so unable to turn on my highlander amp. So no sound. I bought AX4LC4M-150. What I did a bit different from the wiring provided is that I use Amp on from my Atoto S8 to power the AX4LC. That way, my Atoto turns on AX4LC which in turn turn on the JBL only after my Atoto is on. Thanks a lot. Your video and diagram is a great help!
I really appreciate your feedback. Hopefully, it helps others in similar situations
Great video. Thank you for posting. Am I correct that you did not use the can bus at all? Do your steering wheel controls work?
Also, Pins 4 & 11 in the 16 pin android radio harness are marked SWC 1 & SWC 2 on your diagram. Are those connected to anything?
Thanks again.
Yes the SWC works. Those pins connect to a 20 pin harness in the car to pick up the SWC signals from the radio.
@@eazidiy Thank you sir. I see where you left that connector on around the 3 minute mark in the video. It looks like those are pins 1 (gnd), 4 (SWC 1), and 11 (SWC 2) that go to the 20 pin plug.
Do you have a link to a harness for when the fuse is on the side? Thank you so much, this video is very helpful.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. By the way, can you share the wiring diagram since the previous owner of my vehicle has been modified already. Thank in advance.
You can send me an email eazidiy@gmail.com and I will share it with you
I just subscribed. This is great. Is it plug and play if I have the base model 2005 Highlander with no factory amp?
Thank you for the positive feedback.
Hi will this work on my 2018 tacoma with jbl premium system. What I now is working except that when I try to use the sound in the rear only There is no sound. When I have it partially back to front it works pretty well. Also what are you using for other functions like steering wheel controls, phone, gps ,back up camera etc.? Thanks
No! The radio pinouts are different. This is for older Toyota
Fantastic dude!
Thanks
Hey. Thank you for the instructions! I've connected all wires - all works, but there's still some white noise for video playback from TH-cam and music. Will these two PAC SNI-1s help me? Should output from PAC SNI-1 go to LOC or metra?
Yes, you may try it. The output should go to Metra harness.
Thank you,@@eazidiy. I'll try it. Both brown wires to the shielded ground, if I'm not wrong?
@@eazidiy So, there is no result after connecting 2 PAC SNI-1. The exact same amount of white noise and interference as without them. Maybe I've missed something, or they are both defective, or the issue with the head unit - mine is a bit different from yours)
@IdiesBlancNeige Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing the same problem. Try this link th-cam.com/video/RIZTZE_6_eg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mt9qRsH_N6v1yhJW
I did the re-wire and it works great, but now im not sure how to install the backup camera?
Watch my other video on full installation of radio and reserve camera for Toyota Highlander
Will this wiring work for my 2002 Toyota Camry LE V6 vehicle with jbl original radio that I am trying to replace with same radio as yours but giving me the same noise over whatever is played on the radio.
Hi it is very important to know the pinout of your harness for proper connection. Line output converter will remove the noise.
What and where did you get the 16 pin harness ? I would appreciate it
amzn.to/3hgSwdS
I installed my system with harnesses the seller gave me and it all is working except all of the speakers in my car are treated as front speakers. So the fader function doesn’t work. If I put the fader to the rear I get no sound. Will this fix the issue?
The harness the seller gave you has 2 RCA cables for audio? That is 2 channels ( front speakers only). You need to convert to 4 channels ( front and rear Speakers). The process will work for you as long it is 2001-2007 Highlander with JBL
So no need for the can bud box setup anymore? Thanks in advance!
Yes, line output converter works
for the gain settings did you have to change anything?
No, I didn't not adjust the gain
What if my coverter is the same except it’s missing a shielded ground wire (brown). What do I connect the other shielded ground to? ( black/white)
I strongly recommend Axxess AX-MLOC740 LOC with reference wire. There has been a lot of mixed reactions with people who used LOC different from Axxess.
Thank you, you helped to remove the noise, thank you and you for the video, thank you
I sincerely appreciate your positive feedback. It is my pleasure 🙏🏾
I have the same exact issue. 2006 Tacoma with JBL stereo. Followed this video exactly and it still wont work. I get the screen working but no sound.
Hello, the steps in this video is for Toyota Highlander. You need to get wiring diagram for Tacoma
Do you know if this is the same as a 2007 sequoia? I can’t find any information on this
Unfortunately, I don't have any information on your specific car.
Great video! Would this work for a 2009 camry with jbl?
The wiring diagram is for Highlander. You need to know the pinout for your camry harness before installing it
Does this work on a 2000 lexus lx 470?
You need to find the correct diagram for your Lexus and compare with this.
Could you post your schematics online? Google docs or somewhere else as PDF or even a PNG? Thanks

Back up camera works
I appreciate your feedback
Very good bro.
Thank you
Thanks!
I appreciate the super chat! Thanks for supporting my channel.
Do you still need the canibus?
No, I do not!
After adding line output converter no more humming but now there is low background static can anyone help
I responded to your comment on another video.
can this be applied towards a 2010 highlander limited?
No, the wiring for the 2nd generation highlander is different. You need to find the right wiring diagram for 2010 highlander. Use the link in the description box to check the wiring diagram for your specific car.
Will tyto -01 work instead of ax-miloc740?
I cannot confirm that, you may try it.
Do your volume control on your steering wheel still work?
Yes. It still works
Do you have a name/number of the exact stereo/unit you have?
@@Hiyocherrio Use this link to the radio I used in the video www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804167436734.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.12cc6908b7aTTD&algo_pvid=9e69d0f3-1e6f-4e98-96cb-76d9557b805c&algo_exp_id=9e69d0f3-1e6f-4e98-96cb-76d9557b805c-0&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000028889558561%22%7D&pdp_npi=2%40dis%21USD%21187.94%2193.97%21%21%21%21%21%402103399116710307569547725e690f%2112000028889558561%21sea&curPageLogUid=IkeSWChpWjXt
Does this work for 2007 toyota camry?
This particular wiring is for 2001-2006 Highlander.
What about quality of sound? same as the original stereo?
The sound came out amplified. Very good with no noise interference.
Will this work on my 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid without navigation? I installed a android head unit and I’m not getting any audio
It should work. Make sure you check if your radio had the 20 pin JBL harness.
My car has the JBL sound system so I’m assuming it has it correct?
Just to be sure, the radio power harness has the 20 pin right?
My radio is 16pin
The radio will be 16 pin, but is your old radio harness 16 pin as well? If the stock head radio is 16 pin that means this video won't work for you.
How did you connect the built in fan?
It has a harness to connect with the power accessory wire of the radio
@@eazidiy so your saying it just plugs into the back of the unit? Mine plugs into the cable with all the rcas on it that Iam not using
By the way thanks for the making this video . I followed your process and worked almost flawlessly.
Yes, that is where you will plug it. The fan produced some whining noise for me tho, I disconnected it.
@Hiyocherrio You are welcome
Hi... anyone know what radio I should by that would work with these directions?
Any Android radio should work! Do you have Toyota Highlander?
Yes. When I look online, I see a lot of the backs that don't have 16 pin configuration on the back of yours. I've seen a couple that do and they have the fuse on the side rather than the bottom. I have 02 with the JBL system. Sadly the existing radio is dead.
So... seeing if anyone has a specific recommendation. It is a old car, but it still runs and it would be nice to have a decent working radio!
@user-ch4pc3qp8p Use the link in my description box to buy from Aliexpress
Sorry to be so dense. I see links for your store, the loc, Metra Harness, Axxess, android harness, wiring diagram, pin out guides, but nothing to aliexpress. Again, sorry to be a dunce.
I bought an aftermarket car stereo (atoto s8 premium) and it looks like my highlander only has the 20 pin (cn701) for the factory stereo cable, and it doesn't have a negative wires for speakers?!? Can you help me?
Yes, because your highlander has a JBL amp. You will need to buy line output converter and Metra harness 70-8113. and make connections with your android headunit.
@@eazidiy no, it doesn't have an amp, I think, since there was no indication on the factory car stereo, I could be wrong
If you have a 20 pin harness in yout highlander, it means you have a Amp. Pin 10 is reference ground and Pin 20 is ground chasis. What year of Highlander is yours?
@@eazidiy it's 2001 highlander limited v6
Limited has JBL amp. The highlander in the video is also limited.
What radio is this
Link is in the description box
Followed this and have no improvement in whine. The radio fuse is different than yours
I am sorry to hear that, what type of car is yours?
What stereo unit do you have?

I have connected all the wires as you mentioned but I’m still not getting any audio sound. What would be the case here ? Appreciate your help on this matter.
Thanks,

Hi, what type car do you have? Can you send me a picture of your connections eazidiy@gmail.com. I will look into it for you
hello,
Will this work with amplifier that has tx- tx+ connection between Original radio and amplifier? I tryd but bo sound.
