Scion tC | Reference 400CF: Installation

[@DeadlyInsanity69]

Damn. That touch screen for the audio system is nice looking. I'll have to get myself one!

[@fmlygyfntc]

Ever since I got this car my parents have been egging me on to buy an auto start for the car. However, I didn't want to pay unnecessary money to my car dealership and wanted to do it by myself. So I ordered an auto start, new receiver, and backup camera to install on the tc. I needed a video that showed me how to remove all the things. Thankfully I came across this video, and now my fears have been lifted

This is why I love Japanese cars. So simple.

Truly our pleasure!

[@IdontdotheUtube]

They upgraded the door speakers on the later model Tc's. That's a nice touch for Toyota. Doing this install without universal mounts/speaker add-ons is a PITA

[@Oemaudioplus]

Thank you @bezerk304ify!! The Reference 400CF for the Scion tC is available through your local Toyota/Scion dealership / Check out O+.com in the video description for more information.

[@crazygrape1907]

how do you remove the sub if you have to replace the passenger taillights? can you just pull it out?

[@TheMRMARK1]

Do you have just a subwoofer kit available for the SCION TC? Awesome "How to" video👍🏽👍🏽

[@Oemaudioplus]

Thanks for the feedback TheMRMARK1!! Yes and no. We offer the System 450Q which is technically a "sub + amp + plug-n-play wiring harness" However this sound solution also features our signature DSP tuning which is pre-calibrated for the acoustics of your tC. The results are high-resolution audio with deep bass reproduction. Product showcase: bit.ly/OAP_TC Reach out if ANY questions or requests!

[@tylorpiekarski2223]

Not sure if you guys still reply. But I have a question on how you guys get the Subwoofer off to access the tail light? In the video it shows guy sliding it and announcer says “till it snaps in”. I am having trouble with a similar set up and can’t for the life of me get it off.

[@joey-ck65]

Where are you located

[@juanseijo21]

that's clean and perfect for what i want a premiun sound, i have a scion '08 do you have it or pretend to have it in a near future ? thanks

[@Oemaudioplus]

NarcRider2, Panel tools can be found at your local Automotive store (Autozone, Pep Boys, etc...), But to find the kit that best meets your need(s) we would advise searching online (Amazon) - You'll want to search for "Plastic panel tools"

[@NarcRider2]

Thanks ill look into that those tools come in handy

[@tragichero7746]

Talk about a clean install.

[@celeste136]

Was this for the newer 2011-2012 tC or does this also apply to the older models as well?

[@worldior2269]

Did you ever find out?

[@kevindavis2315]

So I’m guessing you don’t have one for the 1st generation TC?

[@rickjames5998]

im having trouble removing the rear speaker panel, like for whatever reason it wont come off. and i dont want to break it.

[@Oemaudioplus]

You're most welcome!!! So, why the gratitude?

[@ag3ntuno834]

Where do you get the rear speaker panel ?

[@christiangee8978]

Is there a speaker set for 2006 Scion tC ?

[@Bowlowtie]

I might be a couple years late but do you guys still sell this? Whenever I check the website I only see subs for the frs but none for the tc.

[@Oemaudioplus]

Show, Thank you for your message. Yes this package is available upon request. Send us an email at [e-mail] and we'll point you in the right direction.

[@bearded_butler9258]

​@@Oemaudioplus interesting. I emailed asking about this and was told it was no longer being manufactured.

[@e123z]

Do you have a kit for the Scion xB 2nd Gen? I see on your website the photo shows an xB but there isn't an option to pick the product for that car.

[@Oemaudioplus]

+Efrain Suarez Yes!! Check out the xB 450Q here: bit.ly/xB_REF45Q

[@nbenoit3]

Hey I installed this and I wanted to ask a question. Does the new amp cause you to lost your usb/aux input? Because I can't connect to my ipod anymore after I install this. Did I do something wrong???

[@NarcRider2]

were did you buy your tools for the door panels

[@RollingRigTraction]

Best if you actually mention what year Scion tC this relates to...

[@Oemaudioplus]

Valid point. You’ll find the vehicle year range in the description of the video (2011-2016). However you’re absolutely correct it was not included in the video. Thank you

[@kingleo16]

Can I swap out the 8 in. sub that comes with this kit for another 8 in. sub? I was looking at a shallow mount pioneer sub.

[@Oemaudioplus]

+kingleo16 Yes!!!

2015 Scion tC how much for everything?

[@HybernatedBeast]

+OEM Audio + damn that's expensive for a little speaker . Lol

[@Oemaudioplus]

+DJ Tecktock just curious.. where are you going to find a complete sound solution designed from the ground up specifically for the Scion tC for $1399? 32-Bit DSP Amplifier + Dedicated Sub Amplifier + Plug and Play Wiring Harness + Specific Subwoofer System + Tuned professional by one of the nations foremost Acoustic Engineers + Complete Speaker replacements: 1" Tweeter, 4" CF Cone Midrange Speaker, 6x9 CF Woofer + 6.5 Two-way CF coaxial Speaker. We are truly open to your feedback.

[@HybernatedBeast]

+OEM Audio + so for that price , someone will install it for me ?

[@Oemaudioplus]

DJ Tecktock Installation is not included in the price. However the kit is designed to be completely plug and play - Whether you wish to install it or have it installed for you. If you're based in SoCal we'd be happy perform for a flat rate.

[@HybernatedBeast]

+OEM Audio + exactly my point , it's pretty expensive for one small speaker , amp and a few wires and harnesses. luckily Id know how to install it myself but I was just wondering . I suppose it's a competitive price . you should have discounts though here and there on the kit I think . Especially for a potential buyer like me .

[@Oemaudioplus]

Hi Tyler, we don't currently offer a Reference Series solution for the Gen1 tC (2004-2010) however we do offer our Speaker upgrade for your model. Message for details.

[@ApolloTheSunGod]

How's the bass on the sub? Is it deep and punchy?

[@Oemaudioplus]

+Apollo The Sun God the Reference Series delivers deep, accurate, non-localized low frequency reproduction. Bass that can be felt as much as heard.

Where what I find/ order that box for the trunk?

Will this system work on a '07 tc?

[@JohnBrown-vq6be]

+OEM Audio + is this system still available for my 2007 tc?

[@barthayes4011]

May be an odd question but would not having the touch screen radio version effect anything or change the connector size/locations or is it all the same back there?

[@Oemaudioplus]

That is a legit question. Thank you for confirming compatibility. Yes, the System is 100% compatible with the Scion Display (Touch Screen version). Remaining completely plug-and-play and tuned specifically for the output characteristics of your head unit.

[@ncastle13]

Can someone please tell me why this cost so damn much?

[@Oemaudioplus]

nick castle you just watched the installation video for a COMPLETE sound solution tailored and tuned specifically for the Scion tC with guaranteed high resolution audio results. We know our sound solutions are not “cheap.” Therefore it is our commitment and unrelenting investment to ensure our products exceed your expectations and deliver results unattainable for double the cost.

[@ncastle13]

OEM Audio + actually didn’t watch it so I thought it was for the subwoofer alone

[@Oemaudioplus]

@@ncastle13 Thanks for the additional consideration. Yes sir! This package is more than "just a sub and amp." Be sure to reach out if ANY additional questions or requests!

Rear panels dont come off that easy

[@SUPRATWINS]

Drool.....................

[@Sneakyybstrd]

I don't recommend this system...it clips the amp when you turn the volume up. When your driving on the free way you want to get it to point you can understand what's happening in the music and really enjoy it and it clips/distorts a very nasty sharp highpitch scratchy noise that startles you and hurts your ears.

[@Sneakyybstrd]

Another thing to note is the stock speaker system in scion 2014 is absolute shit, anything from crutchfield will sound better and sound worlds better for alot cheaper.

[@Oemaudioplus]

​ @Jo R based on what you're describing it sounds as though your System is not performing as intended. Have you had a chance to connect with our team regarding the symptoms you're describing? Please reach out to us at your earliest convenience at [e-mail]

[@Sneakyybstrd]

​ @OEM Audio + I emailed several times after a couple months of using the system and never received any responses. The amount of headaches I had with the install coupled with the later discovered amp Sharp burst clipping/distortion noise at higher volumes made me just throw in the towel and accept my purchase as just a learning experience of poor decision making. I recently ran into this video yesterday and relived the memory lol So I thought I'd put out my expierence for others to take with a grain of salt. Just some background... The first issue was when I finished the install...there was no subwoofer cable included. The sub was the thing I was most excited about haha, anyways. So an OEM REP came down and delivered the cable to me. Fine that was nice of them. Then after listening to music for about 2 weeks I felt the sound simply sucked, I was underwhelmed by the lack of Low mids/bass. Im an audio mixing/mastering engineer so I notice these things. Carefully listening to each speaker I discovered the bottom 2 speakers (I think 6.5 inch) were not putting any audio out. I checked all my wiring, even removed the door panel again to test the speakers out make sure they were working. Checked the power amp below the driver seat. I even checked the continuinty of the cables that lead to the speakers. It was a time consuming nightmare. Everything is working. Frustrated and defeated, I contacted OEM support again.They told me its probably the digital amp, so they mailed me a new one and told me to mail back the old one, I replaced the amp and the problem still existed. I contacted OEM support again. They told me to drive down to their location so they could help complete/fix the issue. So I dropped the car off maybe for about an hour, they took the stereo head out and replaced it, they never told me exactly what they did but the speakers started working. One of their peeps sat in my car listening to music on his audiophile ipod of sorts and was trying to convince me to buy one to fully appreciate the music with the system. With the addition of the speakers I still was somewhat underwhelmed by the lack of sound they contribute to the whole system. The last discovery was when I really wanted to turn up the system, especially on the free when a good song hits, a Sharp Burst/Scratchy Nasty sound emits causing you to immedietly turn down the audio. From my expierence of audio engineering it sounds exactly like Digital Converter Clipping. The crazy thing is, its not even that loud! Trust me when I say this. Anyways theres my experience.
