Vehicle-Specific Amp Bypass

The Metra 70-8116 is a factory amplifier bypass harness designed for select 2000-2008 Toyota models equipped with an amplified JBL system. It provides a direct connection between the factory amplifier location and an aftermarket radio or amplifier using one 20-pin plug and one 16-pin amp plug.

Toyota JBL System Owners

This harness suits owners of compatible Toyota vehicles including the 2000-2004 Avalon, 2000-2006 Camry, 2003-2005 Celica, 2001-2006 Highlander, 2000-2006 Landcruiser, 2000-2003 Solara, and 2005-2008 Matrix who are replacing the factory head unit. Installers working on non-JBL audio systems or vehicles outside the listed model years will need a different interface solution.

Seventeen-Foot 16-Gauge Wire Bundle

The included 204-inch length of 16 gauge wire allows the installer to route the harness from the factory amplifier location to the new radio or amplifier position without splicing additional cable. This pre-wired length simplifies the installation process and ensures sufficient reach for various dashboard layouts across the supported vehicle range.
