Title: Changed stereo, now there's only sound from left speaker?
Post by: bluesmoke on February 26, 2017, 19:05
Weird. I changed it over, used the ISO cable as usual but I noticed there's only one wire coming out of the plug that the speaker side of the ISO connects to.

Is there an easy solution to this or am I going to have to wire up some speakers?

If I have to stick a small 2 channel amp in, where's the best location? I don't want to lose any of the limited storage space. Under the passenger seat maybe?

The only connector with one wire in it is for the TNS nav equipped stereo. Suggest you take another look at which plugs you've connected the ISO --> Toyota adapter to.

Surely if I'd connected the wrong plug, it wouldn't give any sound at all though? I'm almost certain only one would have fit also?

Stolen from another thread, but these are the two connectors plugged into the ISO on my car:

Here's the ISO. I thought it was sending speakers through the smaller plug at first, but the pin out diagram seems to suggest that's for the rear speakers:

But according to this diagram, the bigger plug is actually the one that sends output to the front speakers...... So now I am very confused. It should be working going on that.

The only thing I can think of right now is recheck all the plugs are properly connected together. It doesn't really make any sense.

Did you fix this? I think it might be worth checking how your fader is set up and make sure it's not sending all the sound to either the front or rear

It was a faulty Autoleads cable.
