Default Help installing F900BT

ok i took everything out put in the new unit but idk how / where to plug things

anyone have any exp with this?
I have a plug that goes into the aftermarket unit and then two plugs split from it which i believe are supposed to go to the wires comming from the car but they dont look like they fit

the unit came off a scion Xb and i think i have all the connections ive never done anything like this so any help would be nice
thank you

SC stereos came in two flavors:
1) CD changer equipped with external amp
2) no CD changer with powered head unit (no external amp)

The plugs on the AVIC are for traditional, non external amped units. You can not use them if you have an CD changer with external amp.

Next time search. Everything you need to know has already been discussed 6000 times.

Interfacing with factory amp is not trivial. Ground loop galore with a lot of added noise. I recommend using an external amp or head unit amp to directly power the speakers in the system as shown in the writeup.
