ok, so here's an update. Im a retard, and now I understand why the harness I bought didnt match up. I just realized toyota put a little factory amp in there that I couldnt see and I had the wires that came from the amp to the factory radio, now the harness I bought matches up. Thanks to all of...

ohhhh, good question, I'll try that tomorrow. but what has me jacked up is, im not the only person to ever try to put an aftermarket radio in an 04 tundra, why can I find absolutely nothing on the interwebs about anyone else experiencing this? I just wanted to be able mp3s without the cassette...

Hi, yes, I suspected maybe a bad ground so (Temporarily) ran a wire directly to the negative battery post, no change in behavior. My next try was to run a constant 12v wire to see if that would power it on. But really shouldnt have to do that. The old head unit was working fine when I removed it.

So I have a 2004 toyota tundra SR5 4x4 4.7L. It had the stock head unit in it which consisted of a CD player and cassette deck in a single, double din head unit. Since I'm not really a big car audio enthusiast and this is my work truck, I never changed it out. I decided to buy one of those...
