Just take a look underneath the passenger seat. You will find a small silver rectangular box with two harness attachments if you have the external amp.
Cool, thanks.
It looks like I have an internal amplifying since: it had originally came with a factory tape deck and I don't recall seeing any silver rectangular box under the front passenger seat when I removed the seat a few years ago. Will double check tomorrow.
Looks like the 16814 is plug and play. Does this means I don't need to get the radio code from the dealer?

No radio code needed. I don't think those radios have theft protection and nobody has mentioned here yet.
I looked under the front passenger seat today to confirm that I don't have an external amplifying unit under the seat.
I didn't see any rectangular silver box or any wires, so I guess that means my Supra has internal amplifying.
There was a hollow rectangular black flexible thing that was under the seat though (where there was a opening cut in the carpet, near the front of the seat, next to seat bracket bolt closest to the transmission shifter area). I have no idea what purpose it served. But definitely didn't see any wires or silver box. Did not have a camera on hand to take a picture.

So from my understanding on this thread ALL 16814 models are internally amplified?
Also, is it possible to use a sub with this unit?
What about a CD changer in addition?
And I assume it doesn't play mp3 cds?
Sorry to bump a 30 year old thread but I'm debating between this and aftermarket. Thanks.

Correct 16814 is internally amplified (has a big finned heatsink on back). The 16815 is externally amplified.
No sub outputs, although you could do that externally.
No idea about changer, but there is an additional 12 pin connector that supports steering wheel controls. It is possible that also supports a changer.
No mp3 support (this is ~2002 technology).
If you want something more modern I would suggest looking at the Scion head units. They fit with a little trimming of the bezel.
