If you're installing a Vhedia head unit into a LandCruiser 200 Series, you’ll often find several Toyota patch cables behind the factory unit. These can cause issues if they’re left connected — especially with the MT-1855 style plug variations. 

What You’ll Learn: 


  • How to identify a Toyota patch cable (foam-wrapped or multi-join blocks)
  • Why most patch cables need to be removed
  • What happens if they’re left connected
  • The one patch cable related to the antenna amp (and when you keep it)
  • Clearing space behind the dash for an easier install

Why This Matters:


If you're experiencing no radio, sound issues, or reverse camera issues — removing the Toyota patch cables is almost always the fix.
