Does anyone know about installing an aftermarket pioneer double din in a 97 RHD toyota soarer?
Can i use a sc300 stereo harness? I have searched through the forums and a clear answer is uncertain.

I know when I put the stereo in mine , I couldnt use it because it didnt use the amplified stereo system with the amp in the back , does yours have the amp in the rear?

i dont get my soarer until the 9th, im trying to piece together all the parts ill need for my mini build. From what i know it isnt the factory double din screen stereo its the factory single din, not sure if it has an amp, have you figured out a way to use yours?

The best bet might be just to rewire due to the fact that it's a soarer. Find 12V+, Ig & speaker wires (pull the door panels off and find the speaker wire colors. If you are curious about polarity, take a 9v battery and pop the speakers with it to make sure that you have them correct. You can ground the radio to the radio chassis.

i was thinking of getting a UK spec or JDM audio/stereo harness? can anyone chime in as to if that would work with a US spec double din or where i can find such harnesses?

more than likely the colors and wires will be the same.

I ran wires from the radio to each speaker

I ran a mantra PNP harness that worked like crap. I had frequency noise problems just like everybody else that ran it. I ended up wiring it directly to the stock harness. Follow this guide by raine

Depending on your skills.. took me about 1 hour 30 mins to fully complete it all
