If I may add some extra detail to LukeSKY's description. 1. Get to the volume screen 2. Press the speaker icon in the top left of the screen. 3. Then press the bottom left corner of the screen 4. Press the speaker icon for the second time 5. Press the bottom left corner for the second...

supraCP: I appreciate you jumping in to help Z out. That's nice, but I suggest you read the entire thread first. It will save a lot of time so you don't have to ask the questions that have already been asked and answered. I'm anxious to see if you come to the same conclusions I do about his...

Christopher: I have the Camry Nav HU (E7003) and one (small) amplifier. I didn't add an aftermarket amplifier to my system and frankly, I don't think I will -- it sounds too good to mess with it. I didn't ground the amplifier chassis at all, only the brown chassis ground wire in the larger of...

Re: AAAGGG!!!! No Luck.... First of all take the ground OFF of the wire between the camry amp and the HU. That's not the correct wire to ground. You were correct grounding the brown wire between the camry amplifier and the vehicle wiring harness to the same common ground point that you...

Re: Great!!! Neither! I stripped about 1/2" of insulation off of the brown wire that goes from the stereo wiring harness to the stereo amplifier (large plug). I then soldered a 10 AWG wire onto the brown, amplifier chassis ground wire, to a common ground point in front of the center...

IT WORKED ! ! ! Christopher: It worked! ground wire (10AWG) from the Nav HU chassis to single point ground in front of the center console. Then another ground wire from the amp's brown (chassis ground) wire to the same main ground point. My system is very quiet -- no buzz! I love it. I...

I did it. I got rid of the buzz by adding two ground wires. One from the Nav HU chassis to ground and the other from the amplifier brown (ground) wire to the same ground. Absolutely quiet! I also installed my mic system and Solara XM radio! W O W !!! Mark (mhumm2)

Cell phone Capable Nav System ??? BrentJ asked exactly the right question. I'd like to know the answer too. Do our Nav systems from OEM Value support Blue Tooth cell phones and if they do, is it a built-in software function or separate module? My Nav HU PN is E7003. It makes sense that...

Christopher: Here's the link to the thread I emailed you about: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6451&highlight=noise+buzzing You'll also see a reply from me towards the end. This solution sounds very logical to me and I just have a feeling it's going to work! Mark

Nav Noise ---> Ground Loop ?!?!?! Hello: I found this thread from a search. I too have the smaller amp and I still have the whining noise. I took a different approach. Since I was convinced it was alternator noise, I installed alternator noise suppressors (ANS). 3 of them in parallel, but...

Alternator Humm w/ Nav System Christopher: No Joy dude! I did the mod and it made absolutely no difference to the noise I'm hearing. Have you had any luck yet? I have to open everything up again anyway in a couple of weeks to install my microphone system and the Toyota XM Receiver. When I...

Chistopher: Check these links out. They may help. I wasn't aware of a hiss problem too. That's a whole different story because you can't filter that out -- you have to track it down and fix the problem causing it. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/noise...

Christopher: I checked with Crutchfield and I was correct, the ANS is not big enough to carry the load that our 4 Runner alternators can. Our alternators are rated for 150 Amps. The alternator itself has a 140 amp fuse in the main fuse block so I didn't want to install a 60 amp noise...

Christopher: After considering the mod it would be to install the alternator noise suppressor (ANS) between the alternator and battery, I decided I couldn't do it. My Air Force electronics training will not allow me to cut a 00 gauge wire and install a unit with 10 gauge wire in series. I...

I agree too concerning the OEM Value Toyota Nav system, not the aftermarket Eclipse system which I didn't think was part of the question to begin with. The green backlights don't bother me at all and I really thought they would. The system blends right into the dash like it was installed at...
