With the help of this forum I tried to install the Amber light E7008 into my 04 4Runner. Basically it all worked except for the fact that the voice part of the navigation requires an 06 or later amplifier (don't ask me why, I never found out) This thread was what I used during the installation...

I use a lot of radio and having to always hit "list" or the arrow to show the presets was just plain stupid. Why not simply save the last position ofr the screen. I have never used the remote, I have never seen the point of a remote except for someone in the back seat. Why would you occupy a...

i have an 04 with factory navigation. I wanted bluetooth and Ipod support so I went for a Kenwood DNX7140. I found it a frustrating machine - very long bootup, about 15 seconds for the radio to turn on - reverse camera was sufficiently quick. The interface, however is a thing of horror - buttons...

No luck and i checked everything twice. BTW there is a typo in you excellent diagram: if you notice, in the diagram below you have IVO+ going to pin 22 when it should be going to pin23 (as shown in the diagram on the right side. In anycase i tried both with no luck. I am beginning to think that...

Thanks I will tackle this tomorrow or next weekend but I have some further questions: I am having also Bluetooth issues: does the above connection allow for you to hear the bluetooth over the driver speaker? Did you attach a microphone and does that work? If so what microphone did you use - the...

Gorgeous! About the shield - do you take it and put in the pin on the HU side but leave it dangling on the Amp side? Thanks

Some searching and I have found where it is: How to Remove the Navigation ECU from a 2003 Toyota 4Runner now i need to find the wiring diagram. lastly I hope that 20ft of shielded stereo cable from Radio shack should do the trick. Have you done this?

I'm just about to start that research. I have seen that I need to take three wires from R10 http://www.toyota-4runner.org/audio-electronics/41632-5th-gen-navigation-wiring-info.html pins 11,12,13 and take them to the amp. However I do not know where the amp is! Where in the back is it? and is...

I have reached the same situation. Installing a E7008 into a 04 with JBL. I ordered the OEM switch and right to left cable. On the unit everything works, GPS, backup camera, audio and Bluetooth connectivity (it sees and responds to the telephone). However I have two major problems - I have no...

have a 2004 4runner Limited with the original navigation and JBL sound system. I upgraded to an aftermarket double DIN system (Kenwood DNX7140) I ordered the Scosche TA2079B as my trim kit but it won't fit - The aperture in the Toyata trim is 7 7/8" whereas the Scosche trim is roughly 8 5/8"...

I'll answer my own question. Supposedly the 04 4Runner has 3rd generation Navigation

I am about to purchase a 04 limited with OEM navigation. How do I find out what generation it is? and therefore what update options i might have with regards to maps. The one function it does not have is blutooth. Has anyone integrated a bluetooth only device (I just noticed anothe thread on...
