My current head unit is Eclipse avn-z02i, and it's great, apart from the fact it's hard-wired to Japanese So at some point I will be changing it. (I only use USB and bluetooth, can't stand the radio)

I would like to keep the reverse camera and forward facing dash cam functionality if possible.

It is quite funny getting remonstrated by a female Japanese voice when I go over 60mph, though...

Do you have a picture with the DMH-W4660NEX Installed?

If you paired it with the Maestro, it would be excellent. I have a wireless backup camera that works with it and I also have the JBL Synthesis system and it's working great with the factory amp.



Let me know if you have any specific questions about my setup. Hope this helps.

Biggest selling point:
- Its a good unit if you are looking for a "wireless" Carplay & Android Auto. Its biggest feature is the fact that your phone can do Carplay without the need to connect any wires. This was my number one reason for getting this unit.
- If you are okay with a wired connection, Pioneer also sells a wired version i believe thats cheaper. Use Crutchfield.com to help narrow down to the headunit for your particular vehicle per what your needs are.
Wireless Connection rating = 7/10
- It connect pretty quickly (timed at about 19 sec between starting vehicle and Carplay connection).
- It works well majority of the time, but there are instances when it wont connect and i have to manually go into the unit and connect it. I've also had a few instances that it has disconnected right in the middle of a song. Doesn't happen often, but it has happened.
Overall user interface:
- Its quite easy to use overall. Switching between apps in Carplay is quite easy as the icons remain on the left had side so swapping between Spotify, Google Maps, etc is quite easy. I did have a few days to use this with an android phone and I found that it was not as refined as Carplay was. It was more cumbersome to switch between apps and when connected to Android Auto, I couldn't change things on my phone (for example: i couldn't scroll my playlist on my phone if I was connect to Android Auto, but have no such issues on Carplay). Could have been a user error but definitely felt Carplay as being more refined on the unit.
Cost Factors:
- Another important factor to consider is not only the cost of the unit, but also the cost of the iDatalink Maestro Module to allow the unit to be able to read the tire pressure, battery voltage etc. Besides the unit, the modules, steering wheel control adapters and dash kit were almost $200. This is why i use crutchfield because they give you everything you need for the unit to work. I also ended up not liking the initial unit that I had ordered and it was easy to exchange the item and their customer service was quite helpful with any questions I had.

Steering wheel - Adding Phone Controls:
Below is a link to my original post in another thread where I listed links that already have the part numbers used and helpful instructions. I did this as I was replacing my steering wheel (super easy install even for someone like me that doesn't work on cars much).
What did you do with your 4runner today?

We have a 7 week old baby that keeps me quite busy, but if you have any other questions or would like me to test something out in particular on the unit, let me know .
