I am trying to install a Pioneer DEH-5900IB on my 97 Camry XLE, I bought the harness and have most cable connected except two which I don't know how to connect.

Here I have some questions:
1) At the back of my factory radio, I have a harness plug and two small cables (looks like antenna), what are them ? Which one should I plug into the antenna on the back of the 500IB HU ? see the pictures of my factory radio below.

2) In the Pioneer 5900IB Installation manually, it says "If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect the blue/white cable (on the HU end harness) to the antenna booster power supply terminal", but where is the "antenna booster power supply terminal" ?

3) On the car-end harness I purchased for Toyota, there is a blue cable labeled "power antenna", where do I connect it to ?









Does anybody have experience with 97 Camry Radio installation ?

Thanks for your help in advance and Happy New Year !

 

never mind, I have figured it out.

 

Can you tell me what you did? I am having the same exact issue with my 1999 Camry LE, and Pioneer Stereo DEH-P3900MP. I don't know what to do with the blue wire (your Question 3.) I also have the antenna in the glass window.

Can you answer your three questions that you originally posted.

I only have one small cable (looks like antenna) that plugs into the back of the vehicle.

2) Where is the "antenna booster power supply terminal" ?

3) There is a blue cable labeled "power antenna", where do I connect it to ?

Thanks.

 

Nevermind, I figured it out too. My issue was that there are two ports on the back of the Pioneer stereo. One for a wired reote and the other for the radio. I was plugging it into wireless remote port on the left side since it was near all the wires and the radio connector went into the port easily and stayed in. There was no indication that i was putting it into the wrong port. Then I looked at the manual closely and saw that the radio port is on the opposite side. I also heard that if the radio still doesn't work, then you may have to connect the Blue Wire (power Antenna) to the red ACC wire coming from the new stereo, only if your radio antenna is integrated into the back window.

Good to know you have the answers now.

I found out the small cable was a diversified antenna cable, it was only needed by the factory radio, so I only connected the big antenna cable.

Actually, the blue cable labeled "power antenna" could just be terminated if you have a glass antenna not power antenna, but I still connected it to the blue/white cable from the new HU cause it won't hurt anything.

But I am having a new problem here, my front door speakers could not stand when I was testing bass levels on the new HU, the speakers will hum and vibrate at certain frequency, so I have just purchased a new pair of speakers from crutchfieldcanada.com and try to replace the old ones in the front doors.
