Wiring Diagram

For the climate controls to operate properly, the following steps need to be followed:

Locate the 20-way or 12-way white connector that was plugged into the factory radio.
Note: 04′-06′ RX330 & 06′ RX400H have a 12-way connector and require the resistor to be added between the Yellow in pin 9 and Brown in pin 10.
Note: 07-09′ RX350 &07′-09 RX400H have a 20-way connector and require the resistor to be added between the Red in pin 9 and Black in pin 10.
Note: 07-09′ RX350 & 07-08′ RX40OH with factory navigation have a 12-way connector and require the resistor to be added between the Black in pin 9 and White in pin 10.
Strip back the two factory wires, connect one side of the 68 OHM resistor to one wire and connect the other side of the resistor to the other wire (see diagram below).
When completed be sure to tape up the wires including the resistor to protect them from coming into contact with any metal, and push the connector back into the dash (see diagram below).
