Had a brain teaser yesterday. 96 Camry w/ amplified system. Used the 70-8112 harness to integrate, but the amp popped when turned on. So to solve it, I tried putting resistors in line as usual.
Only problem is I forgot which value to use for it.  1000 ohm was too much because it didn't turn the amp on, and 560 was the highest I got and it still popped.
Or do you set up a voltage divider network similar to fords?

Did it also pop when you changed radio stations and changed sources? RCAs or speaker wires?

The 8112 Harness has RCA plug ins. I had to use a Y-RCA connector though to fit into the CD player they choose since it only had 1 RCA pre-out.
At first with just the Remote line hooked up to the amp turn on wire it popped with stations too. But now that I put a resistor in it, it only does it on turn on.
I'm thinking I should try it with a head unit that has 2 sets of RCA's. Some reason I feel that is the problem.

No offense, but I highly doubt that the fuse inside the unit is popped for a new unit. It was brand new out of the box and I can probably swap the same or different unit in and it will more than likely do the same. I'm going to try running only 1 set of RCA's for now and see if that works.

you would be surprised to know how easy it is to blow the fuse, at least test it with a meter. It may save you lots of time.

I'll give it a try and at last chance I will just bypass the amp.

You do know that the plugs to bypass the amp are right there in front of you in the radio cavity right? That car will take a standard toyota harness once you undo those plugs. Very easy car.

No, for some reason the plugs are behind the glove box similar to Lexus. I already tried the easy route, but ran out of time.

here's a dumb question have you tried switching amps out? and what kind of amp is it? It's most likely the amp and not the head unit.

^ factory amp.
And are you sure you don't see the blue plugs right there on the right in the radio cavity?

I have seen the wires you are talking of in I think a newer model. Audiovox shows the amp to be behind the glove compartment in that vehicle.

Yeah that's where the amp is but the plugs should still be there. I've done lots of these little cars and they've been there everytime. Actually did a 96 last month i believe and did the same thing.
