@@lybarger007 I was thinking of trading it in for a newer 4Runner or Tacoma but since I have the rav4 paid off I was like eh I’ll be smart and keep it and just trick it out instead 😂
This was very helpful...thanks! pay attention to which pioneer unit you order. I got the AVH-200EX, which you link, and it's a very basic unit without Apple Car Play, which is a deal breaker for me since we have iphones. The amazon Q&A said it had apple carplay, so i ordered it and installed it, but it didn't. The workaround for that unit to do navigation, etc is called "Weblink", but it was not helpful. I upgraded to a AVH-1400NEX and fortunately the wiring/harnesses are the same as the 200EX, so it was a simple switch out for me. I also ordered the USB/Aux car lighter replacement and didn't need it with the 200EX (has a front facing USB), but glad i kept it because the 1400NEX only has the back-of-unit USB, so i installed that lighter replacement cable and it looks beautiful and was easy! I did this on a 2011 RAV. The bracket was easy to install and looks great.
Merry christmas to all youtubers from Austria.
Gr8 work and gr8 vid bro. Very helpful and enlightening. ty.
Thank you so much for this!!
Nice in thanks I'm learning something today.
Thanks. Just planning radio replacement.

@ProvoBeastAudio First of all great video! I ordered the parts you have and successfully got the radio to work for a while now. However, I could never get the steering wheel controls to work. I think my issue involves the part the auxiliary part you cut off at 4:10 video. I have the wiring you talk about at that part in the video, but II don't know where to plug in the part that you cut off since you didn't have steering wheel controls. You mention a separate adapter. Do you happen to have further info on that? Is it an aswc-1 that I need? Any ideas would be great. I know my wife would love the addition of the steering controls.
Very good instructions. One question, where did you find the USB receptacles that fits in one of those blank spot next to 12v outlet?
Amazon! Part name listed in description.

Hi Chris. Do you have a video for a 2011-2013 Sienna upgrading OEM factory touchscreen navigation and retaining steering wheel and back seat dvd controls and functionality?
The specials- ghost town
I don't get why Pioneer or an industry standard cable isn't made to be compatible with Toyota, so no soldering would be required? Was the securing of the radio itself compatible with the factory bracket?
Hi, One more question please:
I want to retain the factory AUX feature located in my console.
How do I do that ?
I have a Pioneer MVH-S622BS and I don’t to use the AUX port in the front of it, it’s ugly.
Thanks for your help…
For your harness, did you connect the car speed signal input (pink wire) and if not, did it affect the the head unit at all?
Good, but where did that mike cable magically appear from..?
How'd did you mount the microphone?
Big question! My son tried to hook up a system to his vehicle. He tossed the package wrapper. What wire is the remote wire. That’s how I’ve always hooked up a system. Amp remote to stereo remote wire. This stupid thing has unnecessary wires. Help please.
Very nice and clean but wish you showed running the Mic for the Bluetooth
We just put the mic on the a pillar and ran the cable under the weather stripping, through the dash, over the the radio cavity.
Hi, how did you get the panel off that holds the USB. Been trying and cannot find the clips. Thanks
Great video!
I can’t seem to get any conclusive info on the size restraints the available kits have for this vehicle. I want an 8” double din, but don’t want to risk buying everything only to find out it will not fit.
If the radio chassis is a standard double din, it will fit this kit. Keep in mind that even some of the float mount screen have a larger screen that sticks out, but still include a double din chassis.
T'eyes has a 9" and 10" with included bezels. I just ordered a 9" for my '07 Rav4 since it looks a bit more factory than the 10". Pretty good reviews and lots of options; TPMS, 360 cameras, front DVR, engine monitoring module, etc.
@@gregoryjohns9537how did it turn out?
@Provo Beast Audio Installation: Hello, this is regarding 8:24-8:33. The factory look with the glued USB cable into the blank. Can you explain this just a little bit further please? I have this exact same blank and want to put in a USB cable that's coming from my stereo for a factory look. What do I need to buy? What do I need to do? Would appreciate your reply/response. Thank you!

Great video. Toyota service manager in Hawai’i quoted me $5000 to replace this unit in my 2007 RAV4. What a ripoff!!!!!!!!!
Were you able to change yours? My friend handed me a camry radio unit and not sure if it would fit
@@Funkfreed Hi. I still have my original stereo. It still works for the most part (2007 RAV4) though I’ve been tempted to try installing an after market one. I’ve kinda decided to just wait since I’ve heard the after market ones may tend to drain the battery more.
Sir I have 1 question how much u chagrin case please tell me
I have a 2011 rav4 I got a double din and it doesn't sit flash and everything doesn't snap in snugly what's a double DIN that I can use that has the same bolt pattern as 2011 because the double DIN that you have has a different bolt pattern than the 2011
Would a camry radio with only one bracket on each side work?
Great Tutorial! I have the steering will controls and the JBL so I purchased the SWRTy-61J. The car has 3 plugs. The kit came with a TY-A and TY-B harness. The TYB fits two of the existing connections, but does not have a third plug. The TY-A harness has three plugs, but they do not fit the 3 car plugs. Any suggestions or resources you can direct me to?
Use the harness that fits your vehicle. Not all factory make harness plugs will be used in every install. Follow the instructions with the dip switches and you should be good to go
@@ProvoBeastAudio Thank you! Got it all in and it plays music. It is my wife’s and the CD player did not work, and the console aux jack didn’t work so this is a huge improvement. However, the dsteering wheel controls are not working. I have the SWRTY-61J plugged in and I can see there is a blue light near the plug and it sometimes blinks a red so seems to be getting power. I set the DIP switches to pioneer, and have the 3.5 mm plug into the wired remote input on the back of the pioneer. Any thoughts on something I might be missing. One thing I did wonder about on the dip switches is the left has the after radio selector. On the right it shows gain adjustment. I just set that to the same as the aftermarket radio.
Hi Chris - Regarding the aux harness - did you use heat-shrink on the wires you cut, or just wrap them in tesa tape?
The former - heat shrink then tesa tape over it.
If you buy the SWRTY-61J because you have "JBL/Steering Wheel Controls", do you need to buy the "Metra 79-8114 AUX / Steering Wheel Control Wiring Harness Adapter"?
Did you ever find this out?
I removed my battery and put in a new one. Now the camera is not working how do i reset it
Where did u get aux plug for flush mount?
I have a 2010 RAV4 in which I’d like to replace the factory in d ash SiriusXM stereo. Where are you located and could you do the work for me?I live in Heber and could drop off the car
Use 3.0 usb blue connectors
Any UK links?
Where would I get the USB mod that you used
I broke the side covers while removing them, they must've gotten really damaged by heat.
wonder if I can get a replacement
I broke the left one removing the old stereo. I broke the right one installing the new stereo. If you watch the video you can see he's very careful to use both hands with even pressure. A little warning would have been nice but he did do a great job in general.
Best tutorial for Rav for on YT
I need to install carplay for my mom, and I have no time to do it; where can I take her car to do it? What kind of store usually does this?
Thanks
Any car audio shop in your local area.
Great installation guys.
Question: I have a separate Alexa Auto do I need the aux feature for it to work?. My Pioneer MBH-S622BS has built in Alexa feature, do I still need the Alexa Auto box ?
Thanks
If it has native Alexa, no external aux or external Alexa module would be required.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thanks
I have a question- if I can’t install it myself, how much should I expect you to pay someone else to do it? I went to a car audio place and they wanted 1200$ for all parts and installation. Seems high to me.
You don’t need to disconnect battery?
Hey, appreciate the video. Quick question - I have an 07 Rav4 with the steering wheel controls and the JBL system. Do I need both the SWRTY-61J wiring kit AND the Metra 79-8114 AUX / Steering Wheel Control Wiring Harness Adapter for full functionality? The SWRTY-61J lists steering wheel control on it so I wasn't sure if both were needed. Thanks
Nope the crux kit includes all you need!
@@ProvoBeastAudio Thanks!
Great video. In my vehicle the speakers on the passenger side cut in and out, usually when turning One direction or the other or hitting bumps on the road so I know there's a bad connection somewhere. Do you think it's in the wiring harness right behind the radio? It is not a factory radio. It was installed about 10 years ago and the problem just started a couple years back.
I'd check to see if the speaker itself has the issue before pulling the radio. Most likely the speaker going bad.
@@ProvoBeastAudio
Okay thanks. Do you have a video that shows how to remove the speaker and how to check if it's going bad?
it's most always a loose wire bro. did u fix?
The light green wire (parking brake) from the pioneer harness does not have a corresponding color on the metra harness and you did not say or mention what you connected that to......can you explain?
Because it's unique to Pioneer. That is the parking brake wire and will need to be connected to the brake to work properly. If not, just use a bypass: th-cam.com/video/0xYNn8LDvnE/w-d-xo.html
Lots of videos showing people soldering these connections. Why not buy the Toyota ISO harness adapter?
Great work, man. I own the 2009 RAV4, with a backup camera. It runs up to the inside mirror. Can I run this camera thru an aftermarket stereo, or do I have to get a new backup camera? Thanks a lot.
You should be able to run it into the stereo, just might not be easy depending on how it connects
Did you end up doing this? I have the same setup and question... curious if it was straightforward to connect it.
@@nicolekowalczyk6893 , I didn‘t have time, but I‘m curious, if anyone did it.
The extra adapter for video while moving. Where did you get that? How does it hook to the stereo?
Check out our pioneer microbypass video. We also linked the bypass in the description of that video.
Hi, I have a 2011 toyota rav4 Limited with JBL audio system and Steering wheel controls. What are the things do I need? Thanks
We listed parts in the description in case you have the JBL version!
How do you get the USB cord down to the blanks? I don’t see a hole through the back.
You will have to run the USB extension creatively. There are channels, usually following the factory wiring but it can be done.
How much would something like this cost me ?
I want to install a double din in my wife's Rav, but I think the 6.2" and 7" are too small for her. Can't find an 8" anywhere with Toyota adapter cables included, AM/FM, Aux, Carplay, Steering Wheel , and JBL adapters. Any help?
Lots of options, you would just need to assemble the harness yourself. We can also do it for you too and ship it back. Just send us a message on Facebook.
I saw you plug the Bluetooth mic into the back of the radio, but I didn't catch where the microphone ball was connected to. Could you please help?
We mounted the mic on the top of the A Pillar, ran the cable down the panel, under the dash to the radio.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thank you.
I can’t thank you enough for this. I have the same vehicle and I’m going to attempt to do this. For do it yourselfera like me, how much do you think this is saving? What does this service normally cost at the installation shop do you think? Thank you.
Each shop ranges in price. But most shops require you to install their equipment they sell you at an inflated price. So expect to pay 2x or 3x the cost of doing it yourself.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I called in today to a shop for pricing. They said $400 for the screen. They’re $125 online….
Gave me a quote of $700.
Will it still be possible to follow these instructions for a UK model?
Jack yes. I did this in the UK using a mirror so left was right. Worked a treat. You might need a right handed screwdriver though. ty
what exactly is the microphone for? does the unit support voice controls? also does the microphone come with the unit?
Mic is for bluetooth calls (it's how the party on the line can year you as you hear them through the speakers). A mic is included, and yes, generally it would activate your siri or google assistant via bluetooth.
What do you do with the microphone after plugging into the radio
We mounted the bluetooth mic on the A pillar.
u sing JT
The orange wire has a line on my radio harness but on my harness I purchased has a solid orange are they the same should I put them together or leave them off I know it’s a dimmer or something
If there is no other orange wire on your harness adapter, that is your dimmer wire to which you would connect to your radio's illumination wire. (usually orange white)
*Pioneer AVH-200EX Bluetooth Touch Screen Radio is not available , can you recommend me another ?
amzn.to/3H0RBrE
hello, good evening, where can I get a stereo like that with all that for its installation, thanks for your answer
Everything we used we linked in the description of the video.
When you changed the audio would the stering will controls work
This vehicle wasn't equipped with them. If you have them, see the notes in the description.
Also does it come with the sensors for when you get close too close to other cars like the newer model cars have ?
that tool looks like a lego seperator
What speakers would you recommend to compliment this system?
Front door and rear door speaker locations can accommodate a 6.5" aftermarket speaker (with the right brackets and adapters). We like Alpine's S-line for replacements: amzn.to/3Ik22Ga
We're do you position the mic for the best quality of communication?
Top of A-Pillar by sun visor
Dan, near your mouth for best results
R u in surrey
If my rav4 has a backup camera already (screen is on the mirror) could i have that required to come through the new stereo instead?
Yes, but genre3ally no harness is available for that and would require a bit of manual wiring to make that work.
I lost 2 of those 10mm socket where can i find one to replace them. Help
Take one you do have to a hardware store and match it.
Got it thanks 😊
Is the new Bluetooth radio plugged into the dash at all times?
Yeppers.
Is there a way to do this without soldering?
Sure can: th-cam.com/video/pla_0VpHTvs/w-d-xo.html

Way to install the USB port IN FRONT of a cup holder. Good job thinking about customer convenience bro. How many other vehicles have you done this in?? Yes, it was a bad design by Toyota. Same thing with the cigarette plug. You don't notice it until have a big water bottle, and have to charge your phone. You can't have both! Think outside the box bro!
