depending on your model (wire colours) one of these will help http://www.turboninjas.com/supra/stereodiagram.gif or here http://opc.mr2oc.com/online_parts_catalo...laRWD3.pdf (it's on page 5) - are you planing to sell the tape deck?

If the wires are still uncut, please buy a proper plug to convert the Toyota plug to ISO. It'll cost around a tenner and it saves you a LOT of hassle.
The amount of times i had to rectify previous owners' bodgery on radio harness .... All that shit for just a simple plug you can buy at most local motor factors.

Fortunately mine still had the original harness in place. I bought two plug ends and made myself a nice adapter, using parts like these (probably not the best prices, but you get the idea): Toyota Female Plugs and ISO Male Plugs.

If you want to ditch your radio, I'd be pretty interested in it. Right now I'm just rocking a 90s Toyota radio, but getting an era proper Toyota radio would be awesome. On the other hand, the 90s radio has Dolby B for tapes...

What motor factors is this then? I've been around all the motor factors and non of them stock a wiring harness adaptor.

I don't know, but my local one still has them on the wall Smile
It's a little independant one, maybe that why they still have them?

It's either this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Starlet...xyu1BTlX8Q

or this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HQ-Iso-car-cab...2249879042

And i think it's the 2nd you need. as i think the AE86 has the old style plug, but it could be the new one as well, as it's right in the changeover period Smile

In the past they weren't available for mine. And I found out that the Toyota connector is the same as old Mitsubishi connectors but it has a slightly different pinout, so a Mitsubishi to ISO connector should work fine after a few mods. It is the one similar to this one:

And this is the pinout for the older Mitsubishi plug: (search for "Mitsubishi II" on this page)
