Default 2005 Prius aftermarket stereo install pdf.

This may help some of you planning on doing an aftermarket stereo install in a 2004-2007 Prius.

This includes instructions for the 68ohm resistor as well.

Special thanks to the guys at Metra Electronics for their help and instructions.

Thanks Presto

If you choose to keep the factory stereo installed and install an aftermarket stereo under the facotry unit (in the storage pocket) you can bypass the 68ohm resistor mod by purchasing the Best Kits harnesses BHA-1761 and BHO-1761. The BHA-1761 harness will wire up to your aftermarket deck and plug into the factory harness. The BHO-1761 harness will splice into the BHA-1761 and allow you to power up your factory deck as well. This keeps the system intact electronically speaking and will keep you from having to do the 68-ohm resistor mod and will not set codes or warnings for the A/C connection issue. *NOTE* upon first firing up the system you may see a warning but it goes away after a bit of driving and I have not observed any issues since last winter when I did the install orginally.

If this post seems helpful then I'll go over my exact wiring and try to take a few pics and post em up to make the install more clear.

Damn man this is tremendous, if i was a little less lazy I might be inclined to actually try this myself. Still this will be a useful reference to whoever installs my system. Thanks man.

LOL, I didn't think it would be a big deal but I hope it helps someone.

The alternative to installing in the factory stereo location can be found in THIS thread:

yeah it's probably not but after dealing with some local install clowns it'll be good to have some documentation.
