Has anyone tried to install a JVC headunit using the Metra 70-8114 Steering Wheel Controls Harness and the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter?
This is what Crutchfield provided in my order and I cannot get the steering wheel controls to work.

I had an older JVC CD\DVD head unit in the 4Runner when I bought mine last year in Feb. It had the same steering controller. I was able to utilize it as well when I installed my new Pioneer AVH-2550NEX head unit.
Have you tried to program it? If not you'll need to. They have videos on the Metra website showing how. Mine was kind of a PITA but I eventually got the programming sequence correct.

Anybody have any idea what the bolt/screw spacing on the factory backup camera for fourth gens is? My factory backup camera works, but the quality is pretty rough- has probably degraded a bit in its 15 years of life. I don't mind to run wiring all the way to the head unit as I'll be replacing the factory unit with a Sony at the same time. Any suggestions for something that will fit well in the factory camera location! Thanks!

you are including the "brain box", correct? (separate from the head unit)

If going with a newer HU, ditch the factory camera, it's low res. Because you have the factory camera, there are already holes in the tailgate to fish the wires through. I'm not entirely sure you can reuse those wires, but the camera will be have to be ditched.
I've used this camera with success (link). It it about the size of the factory camera. You MIGHT have to drill a hole in the rear tail gate trim to properly secure it though. I'm sure you can use some sort of bracket to secure it too if you don't want to drill a hole for it. Good luck

I want to say it is located where the factory amp is (the rear, passenger side cargo interior trim).

So yeah, without it, the OEM NAV HU is worthless (for navigational functions)

As far as I know, the radio should work without it, but any GPS functions will not work. From 2005 on, Toyota "moved the brain" into the headunit, thus the "brain box" disappearing.

When I previously tried installing the unit, the box would light up red for a second turn off. I vaguely remember seeing a vid saying it will blink green when programming/programmed?

Mine was the same way. There were a few different ways to do it. The one where it auto recognises it and sets it up itself was supposed o be the easiest. Mine I had to do it manually by selecting which brand HU and follow that method. Sounds like just a programming issue if you have it wired correctly.

Crutchfield is your friend my man. They have great customer service and if you are unhappy with the unit, you can return it. They also sell you all the kits to get proper fitment and keep all your steering controls working. Their customer service can also assist in selecting a good backup camera to work with the unit your purchasing.
I am currently in process of returning a unit I ended up not liking and Crutchfield was very understanding of my special circumstance in missing the 60 day deadline and approved the return.

Got it, just looked up how to hopefully program it. Appreciate the lead!

This is also good to know. I purchased everything through them so I guess worst turns to worst I can return/exchange it.

For me the beauty of apple car play/ android auto is that you can plug your phone in and then not have to touch it again while driving. I ran a usb extension from the back of the headunit under my cupholders to a usb port in one of the empty switch ports on the center console. I just plug it in there and set my phone on the dash or in the center console because now I can use maps, calls, etc, from the headunit itself.

Wanted to say thanks again I was able to get it installed and all steering wheel controls work after manually programming it.
