GIven this, does your vehicle already have a Toyota external amp? What year/make/model vehicle to you have? Your radio most likely does not have an internal amp to drive speakers directly.
And yes, that circular connector is for a 1-din piggy-back CD player.

93celicaconv":3hy75y1x said:I honestly cannot tell you. The 14-pin connector appears to only have 8 wires going to it. Do you have the sockets and wire for the 6 missing from that connector?
Otherwise, I just purchased a used 1-piece / 2-DIN unit on eBay that comes with an amp that certainly has the correct 14-pin connector on it. I can't tell you if the wire color codes will match what you have on our ST185 or not though. But if the color codes for that 14-pin connector are in the service manual, I could cut that connector off the amp (I don' t need the amp) and send you the pigtail with the correct wire color code chart, so you can connect the correct wires from your ST185 to the wires coming out of the correct pins on the connector.
If you are OK with say $20 for the pigtail and copy of the wire codes to the pins from a service manual (if they are there) plus shipping, I'll consider that for you. Just let me know.

93celicaconv":1yozogkl said:I sent you a 90-91 ST185 wire color chart with the pigtail I sent you. You should use that color chart to match up to your existing car wiring harness that has the connector missing to understand what pin numbers on the connector match up, then wire up the pigtail by the pin numbers (regardless of the color of the wires coming out of the pigtail). It should be straight forward. I looked at my ST185 and the color chart matched up what the radio connections were perfectly.
What are you feeling you are missing?

I tried connecting a small speaker to the R-R and R-L but it was completely silent
