I have a Toyota Echo 2003, Im trying to install my new sony cdx-gt230.

Im a bit confused as to how the wiring should be, ive found many sites with ciring color codes but my colors dont match up.

on my toyota.. the colors are

A- LIGHT GREEN

B- PINK

C- GREY

D- BLUE WITH WHITE STRIPE

E- BLUE

F- PURPLE

G- WHITE WITH BLACK STRIPE

H- NO WIRE.

I- DARK GREEN

K- RED

L- BLACK

M- WHITE

N- NO WIRE

O- WHITE WITH GREEN STRIPE

P- YELLOW STRIPE

on my sony stereo the colors are

A- WHITE WITH BLACK STRIPE

B- GREEN WITH BLACK STRIPE

C- PURPLE WITH BLACK STRIPE

D- GREY WITH BLACK STRIPE

E- NO WIRE

F- NO WIRE

G- NO WIRE

H- YELLOW

I- BLUE

J- GREEN

K- PURPLE

L- GREY

M- BLUE

N- BLUE WITH WHITE STRIPE

O- RED

P- BLACK.

ive checked many sites that told me how i could do the wiring, but with each try something messes up.

Ive gotten everything working..but only if i turn on the headlight, turn signal leaver, which ive never had to do with the original radio. also since wiring the radio the inside car light wont turn on..unless again i turn on the headlights.

to add my toyota has 6 speakers the stereo has wires for 4, so only the back speakers and the door speakers work.

any ideas to get everything to work PROPERLY.

which colors go together.

dude you dont need a wiring diagram you just need to use a wire harness but if you have a problem anyway just go to your local carparts store pick out the proper book and copy it down also a library might have them

I have the same problem. Putting on a wire harness would be great if I knew the colour key. The wires are coloured differently from the diagram codes and when I turn on my head lights I trip a breaker at the radio. The library doesn't have model specific information, and auto-part store car manuals are shrink-wrapped.

Is there no cheap solution?

My issue with my 2002 Echo is the fact that I have to turn the lights on to start it! But that's fine, I'm okay with it because if anyone tries to steal it, they wont be able to.

By biggest and most annoying problem with this car is that when I hit a bump, the stereo (9 times out of 10) turns off...then I'm left looking for another bump to kick it back on. The power to the stereo doesn't turn off, just the speakers do. I'm thinking there's a main speaker wire that has a short or loose connection. But I don't know where to even begin searching. Any suggestions?
