    Hey all, been lurking here for years as my 2006 Prius has been purring along wonderfully. A few months ago, a guy on a motorcycle slammed into my left rear door. I wanted to replace it with a salvaged door and I found one in great shape with the same color (blue).

    However...I get it home and start to assess what's needed to remove/replace it and to my dread I realized that my maxed out car with the JBL sound system has a rear speaker in the door panel by the door handle. The one I got doesn't have it. Crap.

    The place I bought it from is willing to take it back if it won't work, but before I did I wanted to ask the brains here if I could swap the door panels. I'm guessing that the wiring harness might be different, but I don't know for sure. I'm hoping that Toyota built them all with the same wiring harness for simplicity. I'm not looking forward to transferring the harness from the old door to the new--or if it's even possible given that they're not the same package.

    Can anyone advise me on the chances that I can still use this door? Thanks.

    You should be able to move the whole wiring harness from the door you have to the door you bought which will have all ya need pretty quick to do. You should be good should be plenty of videos of people moving door harness similar on most Asian cars
