GREAT video! Thank you for your time and effort to share this valuable information to help others. TH-cam was made for videos like this. I just bought a 2005 4Runner and I'm gradually doing the work to make it mine, upgrading her and getting her ready for her second life. I was contemplating an aftermarket Android head unit for Bluetooth and a backup camera. It was great to see that the Yaris head unit accepts a backup camera. This upgrade is now on my list. I saved this video in my 4Runner list. Until then, I bought the Anker ROAV Bluetooth FM transmitter to connect my phone's audio to the car audio system via an FM radio channel, and it also has two USB ports for phone charging. It integrates nicely into the 12V cigarette lighter socket in the center console.
Thanks for the great video! I just finished my install and made my first blue tooth call using my new radio! Everything went well for this neophyte.. and I credit your great instruction!
Just completed this mod! Non JBL. Thank you man, I followed your instructions exactly and got this done fairly easily! I used your list for all my parts

Thank you so much I bought a 04 v8 4Runner with jbl this is the first thorough video on everything needed for a oem upgrade still keeping everything compatible
I did everything you did step however the backlighting doesn’t illuminate. The white wire that was left un-spliced in your “little pigtail” 6 pin harness is for backlighting illumination. Had to take everything apart after realizing it wasn’t working and ground it.
@@tronixster I grounded it to a screw in the back of the radio. All of the radio buttons are to illuminate when you turn on the headlights! That’s what the white wire @18:43 minutes in your six pin harness is for.
awesome bro. thanks. this is probably better than an aftermarket unit which looks cheesy in my opinion. the Yaris one definetly looks better on a 4th gen, looks more oem for sure.
Thanks for the video ! I completed the swap and it sounds so much better. I forgot to set my eq levels on the original head unit “flat” so I had to get back in there, but way quicker the 2nd time getting back in there! I’m doing the blown sub today and then I’ll be rocking out !
Awesome video! I wanted to upgrade my 2007's radio (non-JBL) because it pooped out on me and your video is a big help. I have not been able to find a touchscreen Yaris radio for lest than $250 but I will keep checking and might just go with an aftermarket unit. Thanks for everything Brotha'!
Thank you for doing this video. I was going to use a Yaris head unit but picked up a Scion head unit instead for less than half the price of the used Yaris one.
Great video Paul, thank you! I did a Yaris install and added the microphone. I’m not a radio guy so the stock look but additional features works for me. I have Yaris and Scion radios for those interested. I can also add in the non-JBL harness and cabling so that it is truly plug and play.
@mattkorting8104 I want to do this to my 2008, do you have the touchscreen or regular fm head units? I’d like to pick one up if you still have any available!
I am going to go with a full android unit, but I appreciate this video. I have a 2003 with the JBL so it gave me so good insight. The full android unit is going to give me more options than the used yaris unit. I want that navigation on the head unit, and not my phone. I will just tether a bluetooth connection to the head unit and it can do everything...... Thanks for posting though!!!

Hey Bryan, thanks for sharing. Praise God this video was of help and enjoy your new head unit. I'm also about to release a video of remote start system for 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner
thank you for posting this video. I installed my radio about 9 months ago and I love the look and how it works. Only thing I really want is a back up camera. I’ve already buy it just waiting for you to post a video. Do you know when you will be able to post it. Thanks in advance
Praise God you've found this video helpful and congrats on the new head unit. Yeah I'm not sure when I'll get to the back up camera. My life has been so busy with two little kids but I'm planning on shooting back up camera install video when I get a free moment.

Hello Paul. Love your video, very clear and detailed. Question for you, have you done a video for the rear camera install yet? I am planning this same install.
No rear camera video yet but I'm planning on doing it sometime soon. Here's what you'll need for backup camera setup: 1) Camera: amzn.to/3ryyU60 2) Harness #1: amzn.to/3nHvHjs 3) Harness #3: amzn.to/3KpgRrk Installation instructions: thetrackahead.com/projects/2003-toyota-4runner/rydeen-backup-camera-install-4th-gen-toyota-4runner/
Had no Info about the wiring from the nav and jbl system so I had to just rewire my entire sound system from an Amp in the back still don't have my Interior lights working yet
I need help I have this radio and ordered subs how would I go about hooking subs up would I have to tap into the rear speaker or can it be done on radio
Hey man, head unit doesn't have sub out port so you would need to tap into a rear speaker. Unless you have OEM JBL system than you can tap into OEM rear sub
Outstanding video. I'd search for an OEM radio and see if I can find one. I got the truck with an aftermarket already and I really want the OEM look. Thank You again.
I am about to uninstall mine from my 4runner and willing to sell. See my videos to see it working on 4Runner with JBL amp. Comes with wiring ready to plug and play.
Hello below is the model of the head unit and good luck with the install. Btw similar Scion head unit will work exactly the same way. OEM Headunit Part #: PT546-52150
I installed Pioneer AVIC 8200 in my 2004 4Runner but the radio is junk. Keeps dropping connection with my iPhone.Will replace it with the OEM version. Great video. Just checked, and the headunit is not available.
Just finished my 03. Only issue I’m having is the rear speakers since that parts slightly unclear which wires go to what (not color coordinated), should be an easy fix though just need to cross some wires.
Hi Paul, you have the best presentation. I've performed the install using your instructions and everything you covered works excellently. What I can't get to work is AUX - I plugged in the existing 12pin CN702 connector, but the aux plug in center console does nothing. I would like to add a USB which should also connect through that CN702. I bought a AUX/USB unit with CN702 plug which is wired to a little box with AUX/USB inputs, but it did not work. Any advise on wiring AUX/USB into that CN702 12 pin? Thanks!!
Hey Jeff, I've also purchased USB connector but never got around to connecting it. From what I understood it's plug and play. I'm planning to connect it later and do a video on it but I'm short on time now so can't really help at the moment. Might be a silly things to mention but make sure head unit is set to AUX option
Hi Paul, i just recently bought a 2008 4runner, and Im trying to upgrade the head unit, found your video very helpful. Thank you very much. But I as I was looking for the PT546-52150, they dont have it anymore. Only the PT546-00140 are available. Will it work? and how can I add a subwoofer to it? Which wire do I use for RCA signal? Do you have any video showing that step? Much appreciate.
Praise God you found this video helpful and really appreciate the support. Yes PT546-00140 part will work perfectly fine, it will just say Scion instead of Toyota but it's identical part. As far as subwoofer goes you can draw sound from your rear speakers or you should have OEM subwoofer installed in the trunk area on passenger side if you have JBL system so you could tap into that. I haven't done much research on subwoofer hookup so I don't have much details.
You can also use Scion T10015 Head Unit. Call these guys and ask them. They’ll ship to you if you are out of state. I don’t recommend ordering online. Order it over the phone. LKQ Will Call - Keystone Automotive Phone: (360) 260-8400 Site: www.lkqcorp.com
Henry, a number of them will work, from a Yaris and Scion. I have both from my project if you are looking for one. I also have all the non-JBL harness items assembled and will sell with the radio.
hello i have a 2008 4runner and im trying to upgrade to the oem Toyota head unit but its to much money so instead im going with a SCION PT546-00140-BU which looks exactly the same and im having a hard time figuring out what harnesses and connectors I need. i dont have the JBL speakers. and im also just making sure that the SCION PT546-00140-BU will fit and work the same as the oem toyota one that you show in the video. could you please help me?
At 17:40 in the video you point to a blue wire that gets spliced into the antenna harness. This is coming from the black amplifier box. I do not have a blue wire at this point. Is this tapped into the blue wire that goes from the black amplifier box to the white connector?
Yeah that blue wire comes from the t-harness that 's connected to that black amplifier box and it taps in to the black/white wire of the white antenna. I hope this helps
Hello! Great informational video. Your video is for installing a used unit that luckily included the pigtail pug. If I was to purchase a new radio I’d need to purchase the pigtail plug you mentioned @ around 18:18 minutes was already included with your purchase from LKQ WHEN because they cut off the wires?
Yes, when I bought the head unit from LKQ they left all the original plugs in there and they usually do that. If you won't have it in your case I'm sure you can go to pick-n-pull and just cut one of some Toyota Yaris or any car audio place would be able to point you into the right direction.
@Paul Longer As I had tje same issue buying a new head unit I found this plug for the rear speaker. You can put it in your video descriptions so you can help more people. Thanks for your video.
I purchased a new radio and went to the junk yard and cut off the plug from several Toyotas to make sure I had got the right one, I think I ended up getting one off of a late model scion.
Is that radio a single CD player? I wonder if there was a version with a multi disc changer. I still like my CDs and the 6 disc changer my 08 4runner has. Adding the Bluetooth and camera ability would be sweet.
Great video! Got the same radio and works nice! I did get the backup camera components that you linked down below but the installation link is a dead end. Running into a bit of trouble getting the camera to work and was wondering if you have another installation guide i could reference?
I'm happy you were able to get the head unit installed. Sorry about the back up camera and I don't know of any other guides besides the one I've posted. What exactly is not working tho?
Thanks for the great tutorial. What functionalites does that touch screen head unit offer? Presumably no android auto or car play. You mentioned it can facilitate a back up camera.
Hello, this unit gives you bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to music and answer calls. No android or apple car play tho and yes you can install backup camera too. The main reason I did this conversion is to have bluetooth ability and to retain OEM look
Yaris head unit does not have a navigation but dealer can install it for around $500 so no go for me and it doesn't have Carplay or Android auto. This was just to replace my OEM Toyota head unit with another OEM Toyota that has bluetooth and touchscreen.
Great job on the video, I'm going to install a 2013 Pioneer Scion touch screen stereo in my 2009 scion XD and thought it was a plug and go drove me crazy until I just found out about that special harness i had to get it from eBay cost me Eighty five dollars.im hoping I have the same luck as you. By the way that unit looks awesome .
So I just did this yesterday and now I have a slight hissing noise coming from the speakers regardless if the head unit is powered on (car power is "on"). I did some intial resceach and it might be a ground issue. I guess Ill be running a ground wire from the harness (behind the head unit) to the chasis and see - if not its a ground issue from the amp in the rear of the 4runner. I also saw that it could be the FM antenna as well. Ugh. I'll let you know what I find for others that may run into the same issue.
@@tronixster Well I got it to work. There is a small blue adjustment screw on the Metra box. After some careful tweaking I got it working with no more hissing from the speakers,
Mic is optional. I installed mic so I can talk to on the phone when my phone is connected to the head unit cuz originally my car didn't come with bluetooth or mic.
Hi, I just got myself a 2005 4Runner Limited with the OEM touchscreen. I'm looking at upgrading to something more modern. I was looking at the Sony XAV-AX5600 7-Inch Multimedia Receiver with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and HDMI Video. Do I need to get all those wiring harnesses? It's not as easy as just plug and play from the OEM into the new one?
If you get aftermarket head unit it will come with all the wiring harnesses and wiring diagrams. All the wires are color coded so it should be fairly simple.
yeah mine is not working either. I guess the white wire that was left un-spliced in "little pigtail" 6 pin harness is for backlighting illumination. I'll have to take everything apart to fix it but I had no time to do it yet.
Bro so many people have been asking me so I’m planning to do it 2-4 months for sure, Lord willing. I’m currently working on releasing few videos about remote start systems and then I’ll be free
I read a few comments to see if anyone had the question I had but didn't see it.. My question is, I have a 2007 and was wondering if you know whether or not all the steps and parts still apply? Also, that head unit is almost impossible to find but one that looks just like it for Scion is available, PT546-00140, do know if it will work?
OH, I have another question... The camera that plugs into the Yaris head unit is a bit overpriced so I was wondering if you knew how to connect an aftermarket rear view camera to the unit to make it work (without the factory plug)
I'll try to do a tutorial on backup camera install sometime soon!!! Here's what you'll need for backup camera setup: 1) Camera: amzn.to/3ryyU60 2) Harness #1: amzn.to/3nHvHjs 3) Harness #3: amzn.to/3KpgRrk Installation instructions: thetrackahead.com/projects/2003-toyota-4runner/rydeen-backup-camera-install-4th-gen-toyota-4runner/
If you want the one that says Toyota on the front of the unit..it’s p/n PT546-52150. The Scion unit is the same but different p/n and will say Scion on it.

Hello, do you know if a scion radio would work?, it's looks exactly like this one that you installed, just have a different button, instead kf the apps button has one that says map.
Hey, yes scion radio will work perfectly fine. It's exactly the same thing. The only difference is it will say Scion on the front of the unit and when it boots up it will show Scion logo.
Hey Paul, Greetings from Chicago. Your video is very informative and so detailed. I’m heading towards installing on my 4th Gen ‘07T4R with JBL synthesis. Will this head unit fit on 1st Gen ‘07 Sequoia? Thanks.
Hey Francisco, I believe I've seen some people do it on Sequaias but I haven't done enough research to tell you for sure. Sorry I can't be of better help
I does have navigation system the new stereo ? my wife stereo has but it looks so old shity and the greeting is so annoying every time turn on the car..
Hey man, yes this head unit does not have navigation in it by default and you would need to pay dealer around $500 to have them install it for you but really it's useless cuz most of the time I use my phone for navigation
Most likely it will work cuz connectors haven't been changed. Reason why I went with Toyota Yaris head unit cuz they are not as desirable and expensive

Waiting for the rear backup camera install so I can just order everything and follow your video 🙏🏽🤞🏼
I'll do my best to get that done as soon as possible.
What’s the part number for the back up camera?
@@tronixster please do
Had no Info about the wiring from the nav and jbl system so I had to just rewire my entire sound system from an Amp in the back still don't have my Interior lights working yet
Oh wow! Good luck man
Nice video Paul
I need help I have this radio and ordered subs how would I go about hooking subs up would I have to tap into the rear speaker or can it be done on radio
Hey man, head unit doesn't have sub out port so you would need to tap into a rear speaker. Unless you have OEM JBL system than you can tap into OEM rear sub
Outstanding video. I'd search for an OEM radio and see if I can find one. I got the truck with an aftermarket already and I really want the OEM look. Thank You again.
I am about to uninstall mine from my 4runner and willing to sell. See my videos to see it working on 4Runner with JBL amp. Comes with wiring ready to plug and play.
I just did the install. I have power and steering wheel controls, but I don’t have any sound coming out.

Hi what model of head unit is this, I have a 2005 4 runner I would like install it, great video
Hello below is the model of the head unit and good luck with the install. Btw similar Scion head unit will work exactly the same way.
OEM Headunit Part #: PT546-52150
I did this upgrade thanks to your video. But shortly after I went back to original head unit.
The sound would keep cutting fr front to back
I installed Pioneer AVIC 8200 in my 2004 4Runner but the radio is junk. Keeps dropping connection with my iPhone.Will replace it with the OEM version. Great video.
Just checked, and the headunit is not available.
I would recommend calling LKQ directly and asking them for unit. It will get shipped right to your house
Great video! Planning to something similar on 2003 4runner.
Good luck!
Me too!!!
Just finished my 03. Only issue I’m having is the rear speakers since that parts slightly unclear which wires go to what (not color coordinated), should be an easy fix though just need to cross some wires.
Hi Paul, you have the best presentation. I've performed the install using your instructions and everything you covered works excellently. What I can't get to work is AUX - I plugged in the existing 12pin CN702 connector, but the aux plug in center console does nothing. I would like to add a USB which should also connect through that CN702. I bought a AUX/USB unit with CN702 plug which is wired to a little box with AUX/USB inputs, but it did not work. Any advise on wiring AUX/USB into that CN702 12 pin? Thanks!!
Hey Jeff, I've also purchased USB connector but never got around to connecting it. From what I understood it's plug and play. I'm planning to connect it later and do a video on it but I'm short on time now so can't really help at the moment. Might be a silly things to mention but make sure head unit is set to AUX option
Seeing if you ever hooked up the back up camera?
Not yet brotha. Didn't find time for this project yet.
Could you do an add on of car play to the factory radio?
Hi Paul, i just recently bought a 2008 4runner, and Im trying to upgrade the head unit, found your video very helpful. Thank you very much. But I as I was looking for the PT546-52150, they dont have it anymore. Only the PT546-00140 are available. Will it work? and how can I add a subwoofer to it? Which wire do I use for RCA signal? Do you have any video showing that step? Much appreciate.
Praise God you found this video helpful and really appreciate the support.
Yes PT546-00140 part will work perfectly fine, it will just say Scion instead of Toyota but it's identical part. As far as subwoofer goes you can draw sound from your rear speakers or you should have OEM subwoofer installed in the trunk area on passenger side if you have JBL system so you could tap into that. I haven't done much research on subwoofer hookup so I don't have much details.
Thanks Paul, i bought the Scion unit. I don’t have JBL system. And I’ll draw sounds from rear speakers for the sub. Thank you very much.
Do you know what other stereo from Toyota will fit into this 4runner? they ran out of parts on the website in the link below
You can also use Scion T10015 Head Unit.
Call these guys and ask them. They’ll ship to you if you are out of state.
I don’t recommend ordering online. Order it over the phone.

Henry, a number of them will work, from a Yaris and Scion. I have both from my project if you are looking for one. I also have all the non-JBL harness items assembled and will sell with the radio.
hello i have a 2008 4runner and im trying to upgrade to the oem Toyota head unit but its to much money so instead im going with a SCION PT546-00140-BU which looks exactly the same and im having a hard time figuring out what harnesses and connectors I need. i dont have the JBL speakers. and im also just making sure that the SCION PT546-00140-BU will fit and work the same as the oem toyota one that you show in the video. could you please help me?
Wow. You’re pretty awesome. Loved this tutorial. Thanks.
Praise God I was able to help.
At 17:40 in the video you point to a blue wire that gets spliced into the antenna harness. This is coming from the black amplifier box. I do not have a blue wire at this point. Is this tapped into the blue wire that goes from the black amplifier box to the white connector?
Yeah that blue wire comes from the t-harness that 's connected to that black amplifier box and it taps in to the black/white wire of the white antenna. I hope this helps
Hello! Great informational video. Your video is for installing a used unit that luckily included the pigtail pug. If I was to purchase a new radio I’d need to purchase the pigtail plug you mentioned @ around 18:18 minutes was already included with your purchase from LKQ WHEN because they cut off the wires?
Yes, when I bought the head unit from LKQ they left all the original plugs in there and they usually do that. If you won't have it in your case I'm sure you can go to pick-n-pull and just cut one of some Toyota Yaris or any car audio place would be able to point you into the right direction.
@@tronixster do you know if I can simply source a new one online?
@Paul Longer As I had tje same issue buying a new head unit I found this plug for the rear speaker. You can put it in your video descriptions so you can help more people. Thanks for your video.
I purchased a new radio and went to the junk yard and cut off the plug from several Toyotas to make sure I had got the right one, I think I ended up getting one off of a late model scion.
Will it have a reverse camera?
If you already have one, you should be able to just plug it into the back.
Great job if I would change the radio on my wife car n if she wants to keep it original definitely I will follow ur steps.. thanks!!!
Yeah man I love it. ORIGINAL LOOK
you're such an awesome guy man, I admire you, you did a good job, seems like its so easy for you to do that, thanks for the video [new subscriber]
Praise God. I'm so happy I was able to help
Is that radio a single CD player? I wonder if there was a version with a multi disc changer. I still like my CDs and the 6 disc changer my 08 4runner has. Adding the Bluetooth and camera ability would be sweet.
Great video thanks for it. I’m just buying all to do it to my 4th gen one.
It’s a fun project. It’s so satisfying ones it’s all done
Great video! Got the same radio and works nice! I did get the backup camera components that you linked down below but the installation link is a dead end. Running into a bit of trouble getting the camera to work and was wondering if you have another installation guide i could reference?
I'm happy you were able to get the head unit installed. Sorry about the back up camera and I don't know of any other guides besides the one I've posted. What exactly is not working tho?
Thanks for the great tutorial. What functionalites does that touch screen head unit offer? Presumably no android auto or car play. You mentioned it can facilitate a back up camera.
Hello, this unit gives you bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to music and answer calls. No android or apple car play tho and yes you can install backup camera too. The main reason I did this conversion is to have bluetooth ability and to retain OEM look
Thank you so much for all the effort put into this video. Will this unit connect to and work with both Android and Apple phones? Thanks again
Praise God you found this video helpful and yes this unit will work with both Android & Apple phones.
nice video, man. good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it! may God bless you
Great video, thanks, does the Yaris radio have nav in it, or allow you to do Carplay or Android Auto off of it?
Yaris head unit does not have a navigation but dealer can install it for around $500 so no go for me and it doesn't have Carplay or Android auto. This was just to replace my OEM Toyota head unit with another OEM Toyota that has bluetooth and touchscreen.
Awesome vid bro, but that antenna adapter says it won’t fit my 09 4Runner on Amazon!?? Says it’s for a GM
Praise God you found this video helpful. Yeah it says that but it will fit 2009 4Runner.
What about from a tundra factory radio system???
I would assume it will would but I haven't done my research.
Great job on the video, I'm going to install a 2013 Pioneer Scion touch screen stereo in my 2009 scion XD and thought it was a plug and go drove me crazy until I just found out about that special harness i had to get it from eBay cost me Eighty five dollars.im hoping I have the same luck as you. By the way that unit looks awesome .
Praise God you found this video helpful. Good luck on the install.
Worked as planned! Thanks for the vid!
Glad it helped!
Well Done. Now to find a Yaris Radio.
have fun and good luck!
Great video Keep up the great content !
Thanks, will do! May God bless you
So I just did this yesterday and now I have a slight hissing noise coming from the speakers regardless if the head unit is powered on (car power is "on"). I did some intial resceach and it might be a ground issue. I guess Ill be running a ground wire from the harness (behind the head unit) to the chasis and see - if not its a ground issue from the amp in the rear of the 4runner. I also saw that it could be the FM antenna as well. Ugh. I'll let you know what I find for others that may run into the same issue.
Sorry man, I didn't have any of these issues. I hope you get it sorted out. Blessings
@@tronixster Well I got it to work. There is a small blue adjustment screw on the Metra box. After some careful tweaking I got it working with no more hissing from the speakers,
thank you for making this video man!!
My pleasure and praise God
Thanks a lot Brotha 🤙🏽. Just did mine thanks to you.
Praise God. I'm glad I was able to help.
Hi Paul can you please help me all the harness for 2004 4 runner.Thanjs
What exactly do yo need help with?
So umm what’s the mic for I’m confused is it something we need or is it optional
Mic is optional. I installed mic so I can talk to on the phone when my phone is connected to the head unit cuz originally my car didn't come with bluetooth or mic.
Hi, I just got myself a 2005 4Runner Limited with the OEM touchscreen. I'm looking at upgrading to something more modern. I was looking at the Sony XAV-AX5600 7-Inch Multimedia Receiver with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and HDMI Video. Do I need to get all those wiring harnesses? It's not as easy as just plug and play from the OEM into the new one?
If you get aftermarket head unit it will come with all the wiring harnesses and wiring diagrams. All the wires are color coded so it should be fairly simple.
Can you do this without the tyto-01 ? I've heard they fail periodically
you need the tyto-1 it won't work without it. So far I had zero issues
Can I get a part number for the microphone? Having trouble finding one with that connection
Hey Patrick, here's link for the mic: amzn.to/3bgDLki
There's no picture but that's the part you need. Part # PT546-74120-MC
Great video! Detailed and to the point with tips.
Glad it was helpful!
.hello friend your video was very useful it helped me a lot to install to update my stereo ,,,,, but the button lights do not turn on
yeah mine is not working either. I guess the white wire that was left un-spliced in "little pigtail" 6 pin harness is for backlighting illumination. I'll have to take everything apart to fix it but I had no time to do it yet.
okay thanks for answering me, your video is very helpful thanks 🙏
Hi there. Thanks for the video. Does the auxillary input still work?
Yes absolutely. My car didn't come with AUX input but if your did you'll see where you'll need to plug it in
Fantastic video! Just what I was looking for, Thanks!
Praise God you found this video helpful and good luck on the install.
Can you make a video of installing the backup cam? 😂😅
Bro so many people have been asking me so I’m planning to do it 2-4 months for sure, Lord willing. I’m currently working on releasing few videos about remote start systems and then I’ll be free
I read a few comments to see if anyone had the question I had but didn't see it.. My question is, I have a 2007 and was wondering if you know whether or not all the steps and parts still apply? Also, that head unit is almost impossible to find but one that looks just like it for Scion is available, PT546-00140, do know if it will work?
Steps should be identical for 2007 model and yes Scion head unit will for sure.
Is there anyway to install a navigation system on there after, cause to me this is a little dumb to do if you can't?
There's a way to have navigation system on it but it will cost you around $500 but I use my iPhone for navigation either way.
Hmmm. Is it worth the hassle to do this? I have like 100 other projects on backlog. Maybe not the highest priority. But it sure would be nice.
OH, I have another question... The camera that plugs into the Yaris head unit is a bit overpriced so I was wondering if you knew how to connect an aftermarket rear view camera to the unit to make it work (without the factory plug)
I'll try to do a tutorial on backup camera install sometime soon!!!
Here's what you'll need for backup camera setup:

If you want the one that says Toyota on the front of the unit..it’s p/n PT546-52150. The Scion unit is the same but different p/n and will say Scion on it.
Great video. Do you have connections info fir the backup camera? Can't find anything online. Thanks.

Nice job. Do you know if you can do factory type parts for the backup camera?
Hey Jerome, I can't answer that. I've only researched aftermarket parts but I'm sure you can find some OEM parts and make it work. If you do please share it on here.
Do you need a mic to use Bluetooth on the radio?
Great Video can you show how to do this for a non-JBL car? Also show how to do the back up cam?
I'm planning to do a backup camera at the end of the spring!
Witch cable do i only need, i don't have string wheel control or jbl system?
If you don't have steering wheel controls or JBL system, you'll only need these parts.

Hello, do you know if a scion radio would work?, it's looks exactly like this one that you installed, just have a different button, instead kf the apps button has one that says map.
Hey, yes scion radio will work perfectly fine. It's exactly the same thing. The only difference is it will say Scion on the front of the unit and when it boots up it will show Scion logo.
@Paul Longer Great!, thanks for taking the time to answer, I appreciated 👍
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Does it retain the backup camera feature too?
Praise God you found this video helpful and yes it does retain backup camera feature.
@@tronixster Thank you for the quick reply!
Did you ever do the backup camera? I'm interested but want to know if it's even possible.
Yes backup camera is possible but I haven't gotten around to it yet but I'm planning on shooting a video about it.
LKQ online gives me a completely different looking head unit for a 2015 Yaris..
Hey Steff, don't pay attention to the image online. Make sure it's the right part number because images may be generic or not updated.
@@tronixster yea I figured that out after seeing the same pic for a few different car models.
Hey Paul,
Greetings from Chicago. Your video is very informative and so detailed. I’m heading towards installing on my 4th Gen ‘07T4R with JBL synthesis.
Will this head unit fit on 1st Gen ‘07 Sequoia? Thanks.
Hey Francisco, I believe I've seen some people do it on Sequaias but I haven't done enough research to tell you for sure. Sorry I can't be of better help
I does have navigation system the new stereo ?
my wife stereo has but it looks so old shity and the greeting is so annoying every time turn on the car..
Hey man, yes this head unit does not have navigation in it by default and you would need to pay dealer around $500 to have them install it for you but really it's useless cuz most of the time I use my phone for navigation
Yes that's true, most of the time I use my phone or my tablet as a gps. And it loooks awesome and I can stream music at the same time..
Thanks man..
Nice video. Does it control the volume on the steering wheel?
Hey man yes all the controls work on steering wheel no problem
The 2020 Toyota 86 also has a touchscreen radio that is the same shape, I'm wondering if that could be wired up to work
Most likely it will work cuz connectors haven't been changed. Reason why I went with Toyota Yaris head unit cuz they are not as desirable and expensive
Will the cigarette lighter still work with this radio upgrade?
Yes cigarette lighter will still work
Nice video!, you make it look very simple, do you think the 2013-2015 Scion Radio Navigation Receiver Touch Screen OEM would work with the same procedure, the unit look identical. and they are cheaper, let me knoe
Hey man thank you for your support and yes 2013-2015 Scion head unit will work exactly the same. Good luck and God bless you
Wow that microphone is 153.10 CND on Amazon . If you add the antenna adapters is 186.81 CND That's kind a deterrent for starting the project 😊
I got mine from the dealer for about $40 USD. I searched the internet for pricing from dealer and then had them price match.
@@JerrySpringersKid Found the microphone for about $9 CND on Alliexpress as well (it comes with 28 pins plug connection)
Yeah please don't pay $153.10 just go to dealer and get one
