IS200 Amp bypass cables - what does good look like?
Right there has been 6 million posts about bypass cables keeping clocks on and not working all speakers. Well after helping another member the last couple of days I've come up with a drawing that should help. It can also be used to understand the wires on the amp plug it you wish to make your own cable.
The colours detailed are the iso connector colours that should be on your bypass cable, NOT the Lexus wire colours.
If you get a cable with two yellow wires on one side, to be blunt, it's not right, one of the yellows should be red, and it won't send sound to the rear right speakers. There's just not enough connections.
Your cable should look like the cable in the attached picture. All but one connection should be used (this is a mute signal to the satnav).
The unit in the picture puts the dual rear speaker (mid and woofer on each side) in series, but some could be linked and run them in parallel.
Well so many people get stung with awful cables then bodge them to fit, this helps give a definitive guide
