Cheers for a brilliant video! Very informative and easy to follow. Other videos on Car stereo installs skip over basic things that someone who hasn't installed a car stereo before (me) wouldn't know. You nicely covered everything from start to finish!
Your video is a life saver in regards to the parking brake wire. I too kept getting that same message on my phone and couldn't figure out why it was not connecting even though I had it professionally installed. Make a long story short the tech soldered the wire to another wire why I have no idea but I ended up getting the parking brake wire grounded and it works. Thanks man.
Justin Akwetey it didn't cost anything I found a youtube video on how to install a radio on my truck and I just pull out the panel and saw how the radio was installed and found the wire. I would've taken it back where I got it installed at but they were giving me the run around.
I had a similar problem, I bought the radio on Ebay, the harness lacked the ground wire. Bought a replacement harness then grounded the wire and Android Auto works great! The ground I used there's a medal bar behind the radio, some Gorilla duct ape and it's fixed
for less than $300 old cars can achieve features some new cars still dont have because the head units are replaceable now a lot of cars are using built in tablet screens that can never be upgraded.
Awesome video, not the same as my car in any real way for install but still good to see how it works and get an understanding of how the parking works etc. Thanks!
From 2012 and later Toyota made it super easy. 2013 up, the new CEO is a westerner and FUBARed Toyota. Thanks for the video man, I have a 2011 Rav4 it's the exact same set up
@@Minnowlawl there are no controls on the steering wheel, other than Outside Temp and fuel usage button. The 2011 Toyota Rav4 Basic 4WD V6 didn't come with blue tooth or other media in or output. The other Rav4 models have blue tooth but they were the 4 cylinder models I believe.
I think this sony unit is better than the pioneer and kenwood android auto systems because of that volume control dial that acts as the voice control button when pressed, The best thing about carplay and android auto is the speed of the interface is based on the phone you have connected,
Mr Sneaky Shadow I can't compare as I haven't used any other units. But my reason for getting the sony was the volume control and price. I agree, android auto and apple carplay are great!
I have the sony xav602bt in one of my vehicles and a kenwood in the other. The sony is easier to use. The kenwood has a whole lot of audio settings makes it very complex. Both are great systems but I get confused switching from vehicle to vehicle.
What I like about these Sony 100 & 1000 ones is the feel of the physical buttons, just like you said. Its screen is on the smaller side (6.2” - my iPhone 13 Pro is a 6.1” and just barely smaller when I held it up next to it). But it looks&feels almost like this belongs in there, and not like somebody added an aftermarket piece. Also looked at JVC ones (NO buttons at all) and Pioneer ones (cheap buttons, cheap looking rgb lights) and even the newer Sony 1500 & 3000 ones - buttons felt really cheap & wobbly
I have a 2011 Rav4 V6, the dash panels are the exact same, only thing that's different is the AUX input is next to the mirror adjustment. I have been looking every were for a seamless double din trim piece. Thanks for sharing the companies name that makes it!!
I installed mine a couple of years ago and I found quite a problem with these unit's screens on sunny days. Sunlight striking the seats glow back on the screen like a mirror, blocking the drivers ability to see the details and even the clock from being seen, especially with seats that have a lighter fabric or a sheepskin covers, etc. A total waste of time having one in the car. In my car, a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder, I have grey sheepskin covers and that's all I see almost all day especially if the sun is in front. I contacted Sony about it and they hadn't been aware of it. They said the next models will have a matte screen, not glossy screen surface. So, with that, it sounded like I've got a lemon. I never bothered going further, nor enjoyed the unit like when I used to enjoy the original Radio/stereo, because, one day I was trying to check a station and took my eyes off the road a bit too long, I nearly lost control and on my way towards oncoming vehicles. I was just that close for a head-on collision. Lucky Karma gave me another chance. These gadgets may be good, but the distraction and the risk of collision is greater, trust me.
Thank you for the GREAT tips!!. I do have RAV4 2007 looks just like yours and I am about to install the exactly the same configuration. Can you please offer some tips on how you wired the microphone for the unit?
Dont know if this was commented already but to bypass the parking brake safety feature just integrate the parking brake wire with the other stereo ground wires.
Can you take that green ground wire and solder it to the black ground wire for the radio, since they all go to ground? that seems like a cleaner way to do it.
I'm glad to read your reply. I soldered mine that way last night ;0) I'm using the extra cable from the parking brake trigger and using it to extend the reverse light trigger from the fuse panel to the radio harness.
Nice! Im planning on updating my audio system also i have a 2010 rav4 with close to 90milage so im still going to be with this car for a good time, but i think you could do my installment since idk anything about this lol
Starting at the 9-minute mark, you can see he pops out an unneeded console button and feeds the USB through the empty slot. It's not mounted via a bracket.
Thank you for making this detailed video! I've been looking for this for a while. And to pay it back, 0:31 _kilometres_ is pronounced the same as _nanometres,_ not "thermometers" (because it's a unit of measurement and not a measuring device). A "kilometer" would be very useful when playing games like Call of Duty ;)
Hi there, great video with very clear instructions. How did you find a kit with the Toyota trim? All the ones I see on Amazon look like generic kits with a metal surround but no trim. The centre of standard console trim isn't rectangular so doesn't look as though the standard factory console will accept this unit. Thanks
Matching those wiring colors in the harness is a hassle. A few companies make ready made wiring adapters. I think Pioneer does for Toyota applications.
Great video! New to electronics, what exactly did you ground the parking wire to on the unit? Did you loosen a screw on the unit and pin it under? Metal side bracket? Also thought about splicing it into the ground wire but like the idea of going directly to the head unit
Thanks for the video. Would crimping the parking brake wire to the ground wire on the harness be a safe/effective way to bypass the parking brake safety feature? If not, how should I ground the parking brake wire?
I've been looking into this head unit for my 2008 Rav4 because it has a simple OEish look to it. Was there an improvement to the sound out of your factory speakers?
That "workaround hack" sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It's there due to NHTSA regulations. These units come with a software package installed that has a long-ish (30 seconds or so) display time for the warning screen but SONY's received so many complaints about the length of that screen display that they have a software update available for downloading that shortens this time to about 5-10 seconds (still required by law) as well as an update to the unit's lighting setup.
I have a 2011 Toyota Rav 4 and plan on getting a new radio. I went to Best Buy and they gave me an estimate that is above my budget, so I decided I will install it myself. One thing that is confusing me because I don't see it on any video is that they wanted me to also buy an antenna adaptor. Are these necessary? How do I figure it out? Thanks
Can you post a picture of how you wired the USB cord to replace the existing AUX port? I cannot find a switch that allows for charging and audio through the same port.
I just installed mine recently (XAV-AX5000) and was getting bad radio reception until I connected the power antenna wires on each harness. The Rav4 requires power to the antenna. I noticed in your video you left the blue wires disconnected.
Yes, external mic. Lots of vids on TH-cam on how to do an install. Super simple. Usually mounts at the headliner right next to the mirror and wire runs down the A-pillar. Just remember... if you do so, your car's airbag is probably in that pillar and messing around in that pillar without first disconnecting your car's NEGATIVE battery lead is just asking for trouble. Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery lead before doing ANY electrical work in the car.
Great video and installation, looks awesome in contrast to the original head unit. Regarding the soldering, you just match the color and solder them together as seen in the video right?
Can you set it such that it doesn't auto-launch Android Auto? Just use it to charge your phone and connected via BT only, so you you can use your phone instead of being locked out.
What are the rca on the back for? What are they connected too? They say rear and front left and right speakers but obviously speakers don't have rca inputs! Why can't i find an answer anywhere?
Thanks for the video, I’m also interested in how your phone is mounted, does that required a phone case that mates up with the thing that’s mounted on dash?
Hello, what did you do with the reverse in cable? I assume that is the wire that tells the stereo to switch to cam mode... I will install it tomorrow but I have no idea where to connect that cable... @Colin Chilibeck
Leonardo Sanchez Vanegas I connected it to my reverse light power circuit at the rear of the car and ran a wire to the radio. If you can wire it to your fuse block it will save you time.
Hi Colin, thanks for your video, it helps me a lot as I have a 2010 rav4, basically the same as yours. Just want to have your suggestion on the backup camera position: do you think it's a good idea to put the backup cam to the top of the roof? or how about to attached it to the rear mirror? thanks in advance, Merry Christmas! Justin
I have the same rav4 but I have a question, for some reason rear speakers sound really low. I already checked fade configuration but even setting all power to the rear speakers they sound very low. Is this a normal behavior ? thanks
Does your RAV4 have the Bluetooth? I'm thinking about buying this radio but want to keep the functionality of the steering wheel controls and microphone
I would to try this stereo to my 2016 corolla. However, the best buy said I need to change lots of harness, adaptor, steering wheel control interface and reinstall for my backup camera. the materials and labor will cost my more 500 dollars. Just want to ask does these materials are necessary?
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very informative. Have a couple of questions. 1. Do you still have a CD player mounted in it? 2. Can u switch from android to Apple car (I use an iPhone and my hubby has android) 3. What was the mount that u used to hold your cellphone?
Michelle Gregorio this model does not have a CD player. The next model does though. Yes, you can switch between android auto and CarPlay, but the phone must be plugged in. The mount is from amazon and I believe is called MPow magnetic phone mount.
I'm looking at this unit for my 1993 RX7. I have a VW CC daily driver that has an SD card input. I've found I like to use those better than everything else.

Hows your experience been in your 2007 Rav4? According to many forums this year of Rav4 has huge issues with excessive oil consumption

Or u had to buy that separately?
A bit delayed, but the trim set does not come with the stereo.
Very nicely done that is such a help to me thank you so much,👍hope you do the backup camera video soon cheers🍻👍
I've been looking into this head unit for my 2008 Rav4 because it has a simple OEish look to it.
