Hey All,

Update! - So I got a little too excited when I purchased everything, I forgot one lovely important piece.... the ADAPTER to be able too hook up the backup camera. You notice on the back of the head unit, there is not an AV hookup. I don't have the part # with me at this very moment (not behind my computer), but I will update everything upon ordering it. It was like $17 on amazon.

AHA Features are just in-unit features....pandora, etc. that you're able to access thru the head unit rather than flipping thru your phone.

Works as factory. You'll run it up to the head unit and tap into the reverse wire. Just need that adapter that I mentioned above which I'll list the part # for.

Same Unit as this, it's just badged TOYOTA. I wanted that one but I couldn't find it for a good price, anywhere! So I went w/ the SCION one.

I had it at the beginning, but it's improved ever since I've added the USB connection. Even with NOT connecting it via USB, some reason the Bluetooth portion improved. Don't know why.

That being said the USB plug in is always nice, as it charges your phone while streaming music/ using phone/etc.

I guess I should update what I HAVE added... the USB adapter + running the extender inside my arm rest cubby. I'm sorry its not AS detailed, but it's pretty straight forward.

The Main USB adapter that plugs in the back of the unit and you can run it as you please, should you not choose to do my route.

I ran mine thru the center console, right next to the shifter and cables. Plenty of room and drilled a small enough hole (by far the hardest part, as the room is minimal) in my arm rest cubby to place the extender.

The trick is to make a hole just big enough to slide the adapter in, and when you run the wire thru it, use the other hand to work the adapter in SNUG into the arm rest.



Finished Look



Aha!

Thanks for the confirmation.

If it's an identical unit with Toyota branding on the unit, I don't think it's worth spending extra money for that unit. I thought it was a newer and more advanced unit.

I found 00160 unit from a local junkyard I can buy for $120 (just the unit itself but I was hoping they could find a bluetooth mic!)

This looks really good! Its one thing that has really bugged me with my 4runner. The aftermarket head unit the previous owner put in looks terrible. There are 1" gaps on either side of it.

Do you think its possible to paint over the scion name badge off?

I might have to take it in to a professional audio person to see if they can hook it up to my jbl system or other ways to keep all the speakers working.

Cannot see the pictures due to some 3rd party block! Agh! can we get a reup of those pictures locally?

Yikes! Will get them back up

Well Radio complete and love it!

Any update on what the part number is for the adapter for the back up camera?

After the request has gone out on parts, I thought i would help in getting that data to you all that have requested. Specifically for @killerb3ar and @K3pack but also for those that need it. I have also done the search for you and the links have been provided. All you have to do is have your payment ready. Happy hunting!

Do we know what we need to get this working w the JBL?

@Az636 Thanks for the write up, I knocked this out yesterday and love it so far.

I will say, photobucket kinda screwed me in that I had to do it without pictures, but I got it all buttoned up and looking great.

I wasn't able to figure out where the antenna adapters went, btw. I did not feel great putting everything back together and having two pieces unused, the antenna y cable and the other antenna adapter. THus far, both am/fm and HD fm work, bluetooth, etc. so we shall see...

Thanks again for the write up!

Hey man, help me out, I'm confused on my back-up cam install. Now, I got the
PAC cam-ty12 Reverse Camera Harness - PACharness from amazon or eBay. Basically, I've hooked that thing up to the back of my radio in the only slot it fits. I dont have anything connected to the other side though, because I don't have any factory plugs that do. I've got an RCA cable that connected to that harness that goes all the way to the camera in the tailgate. I've run the power and ground cable and the RCA cable on the drivers side.

Things that confuse me, is where do I tap into power for the camera? The directions from PAC say not to do the reverse lights because the camera needs constant power. In some threads I've seen, people have recommended to tap a Red/Yellow wire under the driver side door sill. However the guy who said that said he tapped it with the reverse sensing wire.

So initially I planned to tap that Red/Yellow wire for my power, but 1, there's 300 wires in that bundle and no wire specifically stuck out to me, and of course those pics are no longer hosted. And 2 he said he tapped camera power to his reverse lights and the reverse sensing wire there. So now I don't know what he means by reverse sensing wire.

So where did you connect power, did you have to tie any wires from your OEM harnesses to the camera adaptor harness, and did you do anything with a reverse sensing wire? Any pics would be helpful.

Thanks

I'm stuck here too. Exact same situation with a slightly different harness. My harness instructions said to connect the camera positive and negative to accessory power (doing so at the rear cigarette lighter). But cannot tell which output from the PT546-00160 is the reverse sensing wire.

EDIT: I bought a 12V camera and that may be the issue as PT546-00160 may require a 6V camera.
