I completed the head unit swap on my 2011 SR5.
I had the non-jbl hands free w/Sat head unit, I upgraded to a 2014 TE Entune w/nav non-JBL HU. I also had the backup camera in the mirror.
During the swap I also add the ability to switch the backup camera on at will
per the write up "backup camera switch mod" by (sp8ball/antman)

So why Entune? I don't like the look of aftermarket HUs, I know they are more capable and have more options. I personally like the look and design of OEM especially with the current 4runners. I think Entune apps are a little hokey, and I probably wont use them, but in general the 2014 HU is way better than what I had!

Here is a parts list
Entune HU, I used a 2014 I think any year will work ('10-'15). 2014 & 2015 have a few more bells and whistles.
GPS antenna - 86860-35090
20/8 to 28 Pin adapter – PT546-00120-CH
AM/FM antenna adapter - PT546-001200-AD
24 PIN harness connector (needed for backup Camera) – 90980-12200
Terminal wires (3x) needed for camera connector – 82998-12870
SAT antenna adapter – SFA12F

I also purchased a month worth of access to Mitchell1 for T4R wire diagrams (needed to do this work). Thank you Rigtec for pointing me to them!

For the most part this was plug and play. The only work came when I pulled wires for the backup camera. I tapped into the signal behind the overhead console, 3 wires were needed, video +/- and reverse. As mentioned before I also wired in a rocker switch to enable the backup camera feed at will.
I have it wired so when in reverse the backup feed shows in the mirror and the HU, when switched (driving down the road) it only shows in the mirror.

All the 2011 steering wheel controls works as designed, the 2014 has the paddle controls I know, I will have to navigate the HU from the unit itself, since I don't know how slick the 2014 steering wheels controls are I guess I wont miss them.

I had a local electronics shop swap out the LEDs from blue to orange. I went through a couple different colors and none seemed to match, We finally decided to pull the LEDs off my "old" radio and put them on the "new". This was my biggest hurdle and concern about doing the swap, but it worked out ok. Obviously my old radio is now junk though. I tried 633nm and 625nm LEDs, I think 610-620nm would be close enough, if you're wondering.

I had one last issue to address before I was done the TE HU is gloss black metallic, I have the satin silver metallic interior. I initially was going to paint the entire unit but the buttons were going to be a impossible so I wound up paint everything but the that. I had to have a local auto paint shop match the paint which they did perfectly.


Here are a few pics:

I finally got around to doing this with limited success.

What works?
-BT audio and HF phone
-HD Radio
-Entune, Pandora

What Doesn't?
-Sat Radio - The onscreen button doesn't appear
-USB In - Doesn't seem to acknowledge input
-SD Card/ Reader - Doesn't seem to acknowledge input
-Navagation - The original seller kept the nav box

On my to-do list:
-Rear camera mod
-Change LEDs
-Possibly, add GPS antenna and nav.

Do you have any advice or tips around getting Sat radio or ISB input to work? Anyone know if the missing nav module is causing my issues?

Thanks in advance.

Very cool!

nice job

Really glad I just found this post! This is exactly what I am looking to do in my 2011 SR5! I would like to upgrade to this newer Entune unit and was wondering if it would be compatible. Would really love to keep the OEM look and be able to use the steering wheel controls and bluetooth as they are now! I have a couple of questions though:

1. I have the stock, non-JBL, NON-TOUCHSCREEN/NAV unit in my SR5. Would you happen to know if it is still possible to upgrade to one of these Entune Touch-Screen units?

2. If I don't care about having the BU camera come up on the HU, and just want to leave it in the mirror as is, does that make this install easier and entirely "plug and play?"

3. My final question - where did you purchase that unit with the black trim from? Looks awesome!!

Did you spend $300 on the OEM GPS antenna or will a $20 aftermarket suffice?

This has me thinking now.

Interested in doing this.

did you ever fix the problems with SAT/USB/NAV issues?

I'm trying to do this very exact modification and I've installed the radio and cannot figure out how to get the reverse camera to work.

I'm trying to go from a 2012 non-jbl navigation head unit to a 2016 non-jbl navigation head unit and cannot figure it out.

Can you tell me what to look for so that I'm not killing myself ?!?

I've tried everything and cannot seem to get it.

PLEASE HELP :*(

Regards,

Eddy

By chance did you discover any good sources for a replacement button? I just bought a used 2015 4runner the color is the same as your upgrade but the detailer knocked off, and lost, the button/cover for the SD card for the nav (lower right). Toyota wants 5k for a new radio which is insane. I've thought of junkyards and ebay but do you know of any other ideas?

Thanks, sorry if I did something wrong. First post!

Hi just wanted to know if you got the stuff that wasn't working fixed
