Lee, Thanks, but to be honest I've done the detachable faceplate before. It got real old real quick. I have done speaker upgrades before and found it worthwhile. But on that vehicle the stock speakers were awful to begin with. Stock HU and speakers suit my needs at this point. Though to...

There is definitely a market for factory stereo units, although supply/demand does somewhat dictate the pricing. Speaking for myself, I'm no audiophile and am satisfied with the stock six-speaker system on my '02. Ears of stone perhaps. :) I also don't much care for most of the current crop...

Found the link I was thinking of. J.A.'s Foglight Mod

Lee, thanks for the info.

It ought to be fairly easy to do this, but you'll need to dig into your wiring. To trigger fogs from parking lights, find the foglight relay and change the wiring so the trigger line comes from the parking lights instead of the lowbeams. The trick now is to make them go off when the highbeams...

I have a couple days left. PM me the VIN and your email address.

I hate vampire taps... never had anything but problems with them. Solder & shrinkwrap is much better. My preferenc whenever possible is to tap into a wire at the nearest connector. Remove the wire's pin from the connector, solder the new wire to the pin's crimp, then reinsert into the...

Thanks for the info, Rando. I measured at lunch and the autodim-only would definitely fit, but the wider ones with compass (~10.5") may be a bit tight; it looks like it'd depend a lot on how far from the windshield the mirror sits, which depends on placement of the mount. This is for a 3rd gen...

Lee, Nice write-up. A couple questions if you don't mind... Did you have any issues with clearance between the mirror and sunvisors? Does the mirror not come with some sort of plastic clip/cover to cover the wires running from the mirror to the overhead? Any issues with brightness of the...

Thanks. I do appear to have the correct remote for the factory wireless system, which appears to work with the RS3200 system. But I believe the RS3200 remotes are different, and that's what I'm wondering -- do folks with RS3200's have a different remote and if so what is the FCC ID for it...

Do I have the correct remote? Hello all, I recently joined the 4Runner ranks with a ’02 SR5. I've learned a lot already from all I've read here. I've searched to see if I could answer my question myself, but no luck. I’m wondering if I received the correct remote with the truck. I believe it...
