The headunit does stick out somewhat. But on mine, i'm using the double din brackets on each side of the headunit, so everything fits. Drilling holes on the stock bracket might work, just make sure there is enough room behind the alpine unit since it will be further back into the dash.

I have the iva-w505 installed in my 2004 4runner. It is a very tight install, especially with all the wires in the back. Make sure your wires are neat in the back behind the unit(this was the main problem...too many wires all jumbled up , damn alpine) and do not tighten the bolts(keep slightly...

I finally installed the eclipse avn 6600 to my cousins 4runner SR5 with no problems now. I found out no wires have to be cut. The wires that are causing the check engine light to turn off is on the 4runner oem harness that contains the steering wheel controls. In the beginning i plugged this...

the_josh... which optima yellow top battery did you install? did you have to make any modifications to make it fit? any help would be appreciated thanks!

Looking to buy an optima yellow top battery to replace the stock 4runner one. Does any one know if any optima battery will fit in the stock location without any modifications?

Hello, Does anyone have a pin out diagram for the non-JBL radio wire harness for 2008 SR5 V6? Thanks!

I won't have a chance to try the fix until the weekend. I will keep everyone posted. I don't think the steering wheel control harness is the same one that Li_runner is talking about. Is the one wire that should be cut on the steering wheel harness? Li_runner, your steering wheel controls...

Thanks for the reply li-runner....That totally does make sense....i'm going to cut that wire and i think that should do the trick...as for the speed sensor wire, i think i still need to connect it...the reverse wire, probably not, because i'm not installing the reverse camera.. li-runner, which...

check engine light & "VSC off" blinking after installation or Eclipse 6600 I really need help! I'm installing an Eclipse AVN 6600 in my friends 2008 SR5 V6 Non-JBL system. Its plug and play. All harnesses fit perfectly. Attached the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) wire (purple/red) behind AC...

I have the alpine iva-w505. It has the best picture quality, especially for DVDs. Only gripe is that it is a pain in the ass to install due to the number of wires in the back. Especially if you add more options like HD radio or Sat radio. I had the eclpise avn-6600 before...easy to install...

JBL system is not fun to upgrade....had to rewire all speaker wires! Also had to splice into factory wiring harness for power connections for aftermarket stereo. Avoid JBL system! Jusy my 2 cents!

very nice! did u use the same holes on the factory tweeter bracket to mount the 3.5 inch coaxial?

i have the avn 6600...i followed the instructions from the "norgetech" link for setting up the speed and reverse wire...they work perfect...i have the 4runner se 2004...

Hello, Has anyone used this JBL Adapter yet? I think it was posted before on this forum, but i can't seem to find it. Any feedback would be great. Thanks...

Does anyone know of a good place to mount a cross-over inside the front door panel? I can't seem to find a place for it. Its a cross-over module for Infinity 6.5 component speakers.
