Metra 40-TY22 Antenna Adapter to Female DIN for 2022-2025 Toyota
Vehicle-specific antenna adapter cable engineered for 2022-2025 Toyota models, converting the factory OE antenna connector to a female Motorola DIN connection for seamless compatibility with aftermarket radios.
Product Overview
The Metra 40-TY22 is a vehicle-specific antenna adapter designed to bridge the factory antenna connector in late-model Toyota vehicles to the standard female Motorola DIN input found on aftermarket head units. When upgrading to an aftermarket radio, the factory antenna plug on these Toyota models does not connect directly to the aftermarket unit without an adapter. The 40-TY22 resolves this with a clean plug-and-play solution, featuring the correct OE connector on one end and a female Motorola connector on the other.
A blue antenna turn-on lead is attached to the adapter cable, which connects to the aftermarket radio's antenna turn-on wire to ensure the antenna amplifier activates correctly when the radio is in use. Compatible with a range of current-generation Toyota models including the Corolla E210, Kluger XU70, LandCruiser 300 Series, LandCruiser Prado 250 Series, RAV4 XA50, and Tundra 3rd Gen. Always verify your specific vehicle's application before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an antenna adapter when installing an aftermarket head unit?
Late-model Toyota vehicles use a factory-specific OE antenna connector that does not physically match the standard female Motorola DIN input found on aftermarket head units. Without the 40-TY22 adapter, the factory antenna cable cannot connect to the aftermarket radio, which means you would lose AM and FM radio reception entirely. The adapter bridges this connector difference with a clean, plug-and-play solution.
What does the blue wire on the 40-TY22 do?
The blue wire is an antenna turn-on lead. It connects to the antenna turn-on wire on your aftermarket head unit and signals the factory antenna amplifier to activate whenever the radio is switched on. Without this connection, the antenna amplifier may not engage, resulting in poor or no radio reception even with the adapter fitted.
Is the 40-TY22 compatible with my Toyota model?
The 40-TY22 covers the Toyota Corolla E210 (2023-2025), Kluger XU70 (2023-2025), LandCruiser 300 Series (2021-2024), LandCruiser Prado 250 Series (2024-2025), RAV4 XA50 (2023-2025), and Tundra 3rd Gen (2021-2025). Always confirm your vehicle's build year and model variant against the application guide before purchasing.
Does this adapter work with any aftermarket head unit?
The 40-TY22 outputs a standard female Motorola DIN connection, which is the most common antenna input format on aftermarket head units. It is compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket radios available in the Australian market. Confirm your chosen head unit accepts a male Motorola DIN antenna plug before purchasing.
Do I need any other adapters or accessories for a complete head unit installation?
The 40-TY22 covers the antenna connection only. A complete aftermarket head unit installation for these Toyota models will also typically require a vehicle-specific wiring harness, steering wheel control interface, and may require a reverse camera retention harness depending on factory equipment. We recommend consulting a qualified car audio installer to identify all required accessories for your specific vehicle.
