Ok, I am posting this because I could not find all of this info in one place before I installed my D3. The install took about 4 hrs. I did pre-wire the harness the night before.
1. The first picture shows how I grounded the well documented bypass. Not sure if this is the correct way to ground it but it worked.
2. The second pic shows the dimmer connection to the green wire on the factory harness. I had to buy an extra wire tap to do this. The wire is short and very tight so I did not want to cut it.
3. The third pic shows the entire mess of wires after everything is connected. Note: I have the jbl system with external amp so the speaker leads on the harness are not hooked up. The rca's are.
4. The fourth pic shows the reverse sensor wire connected to the Red/Black wire on the Black plug in the drivers side kick panel. I left the grey plug above unplugged to get a better view.
5. Finally the infamous speed pulse wire. I took out the gauge cluster and found there are three plastic wire plugs on the back. You want the Green/Orange wire on the far right plug.
Note: There is also a Green/Orange wire on the far left plug. You do not wan this one. I know from experience.
If you use this and something doesn't work check and recheck all connections. Hope this helps save time and confusion for someone else.
By the way this was a 2002 Sequoia with JBL system.
