Anyone know the pinout or color code for the input side of the 2013 Rav4 JBL amp. I want to replace it with aftermarket and its defective so I cant LOC it on the speaker side.

You won't be able to replace the factory amp with an after-market one if you keep the original head unit. The JBL system in this vehicle uses a data-controlled amplifier. The head unit has only a fixed line-level 2-channel output. Volume and fader adjustment is done at the amplifier, using data bus commands from the head unit. An after-market amplifier won't work with this system, so you'll either need to replace the head unit as well, or find a replacement factory amplifier.
