2012 tacoma radio plugs dont match with adapter

has anyone had an issue with the plug adapters to upgrade to an aftermarket radio not having the correct pins? Cant find the correct adapter online anywhere

 

I don’t myself, I’m still stock.
But Crutchfield is usually pretty reliable.
Have you looked there?

 

I have. I cant find any diffrent adapter for the radio with the same plugs I have

 

What radio are you trying to install?
And do you have the JBL Audio System?

 

Pioneer avh-310ex and no I have the base model the pioneer isnt really the problem but the adapter plugs i have and all of the ones i have found are the problem the smaller blue plugs supposed to power the rear speakers but only has the one green wire on it and I'm unsure of its use as it does not line up with any pin in the adapter and when I checked if it was sending signal for reverse it didnt show any power so I did more research and cannot fine any forums on here where someone had a diffrent plug set up in the same configuration

 

Just order the complete harness form Crutchfield or call them to see if they will sell just the plug.

I have an aftermarket stereo in my 2012 and they had everything I needed for the install.

 

Clutchfeild had the same adapter that I have no it wont work if you have the link to the part that help but I couldn't fine the right adapter on there website

 

The only thing I see with a green/white wire into a BLUE Plug is the radio illumination.
The wire should be on PIN 5 of the Blue Plug.

 

The green and white wire coming out the blue plug is on pin 5 but it is the only wire coming out of the plug and doesn't match up with the adapter I'm thinking I'm going to have to just move the pins around in the plug where I need them figure out how to make it work since both plugs plug in the connectors just dont line up with the correct pin

 

I don’t think that wire powers any speaker.

If that wire is for the Display.
It is a Ground Wire, it’s runs through the rheostat that dims the lights.
The little wheel on the LEFT side of the of the steering wheel.
There are ways you could test it. To see if it is, like with a resistance test.
But my Electrical skills aren’t good enough to advise you how to test it correctly.

 

If you are handy and can read wiring diagrams.
Maybe this will help.

Thanks I'll try that after I get off work tomorrow

 

This is what I used for my 2012 AC Tacoma Base Stereo without the JBL or separate amplifier.

I don't remember a blue plug with a Green wire and white stripe on it.

 

If you look at the illumination diagram it shows a Blue Plug . It didn’t show it on the radio diagram.
You’re better than me at reading diagrams.
You might take a look and see. Just to double check.

I found what I think it is on the illumination diagram.

 

@Carguy42

That socket where he has the blue plug plugged into is for speakers and not that blue plug. It doesn't belong in that spot on the stereo.

I have the exact same stereo part number (86120-04250) that I pulled from my 2012, I just pulled it out of its storage to check.

The OP needs to locate the correct plug that goes to the stereo speakers.

His adapters are the correct parts for his stereo. He just needs to locate the correct plug to adapt.

 

I understand now. The blue plug is not the correct plug for the adapter.
Still curious if I’m right about the blue plug?
The wiring changed around 2011. I know the 2013 diagrams have the G/W and Blue Plug.

 

This is what the adapter pins go to. That blue plug with just a green and white stripe wire is missing 3 other wires.

That plug should be going to the Rear Speakers ( or the overhead transducers in the case of the access cab ).

 

Sweet. That’s what the OP needs to see.

 

My Stereo shows a date of 04/16/2012, his shows 06/25/2012. I'm really curious of what that blue plug goes to with only one wire Green with a White Stripe.

 

Damn I just had a thought. ( Scary I know, right? )

I am wondering if the OP has a Regular Cab it doesn't have rear speakers or the overhead transducers so that blue plug basically does nothing. That is why the wires ( Green/ Green w/Black Stripe and the Violet / Violet w/Black Stripe ) are missing. They are not used

@Carguy42 You have a regular cab?
