Both the Land Cruiser (1998-2002) and LX470 (1998-2002) will accept a standard double DIN head unit. If your 100 series has a factory navigation system then this information is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> for you. This only applies if you have a standard, non-navigation head unit from the factory.<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Before you begin any modification to your vehicle you should fully understand what you are doing and make sure you have the skills to complete the job. TLCFAQ nor it&#8217;s authors, commenters or contributors accept any responsibility, or liability for any mishap or problems from any materials posted on the website. Any and all of this can cause serious damage to you or your vehicle. Always consult a qualified professional. I&#8217;m Serious. Do this at your own risk. <\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Land Cruiser notes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Toyota has a feedback loop for power to the head unit via the factory amplifier. The radio connections in the upper dash have several feeds coming from the factory amplifier. So if you use the factory connections in the upper dash and you are changing out the amplifier you will need to tie wires together at the amp location for power, accessory and ground. The amplifier has two connectors (S6 is 16 Pin and S7 is 14 pin). If the following\u00a0connections are not made or bypassed you won&#8217;t have power to the new radio.\n<ul>\n<li>On Connector S7 remove pin 3 (B+ out) and on Connector S6 remove pin 7 (B+ in) and tie them together using appropriate crimp or solder them.<\/li>\n<li>On Connector S7 remove pins 2 (accessory in) and 9 (accessory out) and tie them together using appropriate crimp or solder them.<\/li>\n<li>On Connector S7 remove pin 10 (ground int) and on Connector S6 remove pin 13 (Ground out) and tie them together using appropriate crimp or solder them.<\/li>\n<li>On Connector S7 remove pin 1 to use for your new amplifier &#8220;turn on&#8221; signal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>All of these connections <strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">could<\/span><\/em><\/strong> be had elsewhere in upper dash area if you don&#8217;t feel like tying them under the passenger seat, but this is really the easy and fast location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2410\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/2012\/05\/land-cruiser-lx-470-stereo-wiring\/screen-shot-2013-04-07-at-12-32-28-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?fit=445%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"445,160\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Connector s6 and s7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?fit=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?fit=445%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2410\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?resize=445%2C160\" alt=\"Connector s6 and s7\" width=\"445\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?w=445&amp;ssl=1 445w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-12.32.28-PM.png?resize=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/a>[Amplifier Connector S6]<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"623\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/2012\/05\/land-cruiser-lx-470-stereo-wiring\/img_1984\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?fit=800%2C598&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,598\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1325330385&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0588235294118&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1984\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?fit=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?fit=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-623\" title=\"Amplifier Connector S7\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?resize=300%2C224\" alt=\"Amplifier Connector S7\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/IMG_1984.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Speaker leads from amplifier to speakers (Connector S6):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 &#8211;

Most aftermarket head units will have a single antenna input that matches the fender antenna connector in the upper dash, the one on the left in the photo below. Connect it and simply push the other antenna connector back into dash. Alternately you could get a\u00a0Scosche Mda-B Micro\/Delco Antenna Adapter Tip and a\u00a0METRA Ltd 40-UV43 Motorola Antenna Y-adapter to allow connection of both the standard retractable fender antenna and the on glass antenna. You wont be getting the diversity\u00a0functionality\u00a0but you will have the glass antenna connected\u00a0simultaneously. That might improve reception.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_659\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-659\" data-attachment-id=\"659\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/2012\/05\/land-cruiser-lx-470-stereo-wiring\/antenna-plug\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg?fit=374%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"374,500\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1327676476&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"antenna  plug\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;\u00a9Paul B Gardner&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg?fit=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg?fit=337%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-659\" title=\"antenna  plug\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug-224x300.jpg?resize=224%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tlcfaq.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/antenna-plug.jpeg?w=374&amp;ssl=1 374w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">image \u00a9Paul B Gardner<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Land Cruiser has a standard opening in the upper dash for a double DIN head unit, and it fits perfectly.
