Can anyone recommend a stronger AC blower motor. The air is cold, just need something stronger for the Arizona heat.

I put my vehicle information in Crutchfield: Car Stereo and Audio, Speakers, Home Theater, Pro Audio, TVs website and they had the harness information for my 4Runner.

If you are planning on doing a clean look (using a USB adapter) don't do the Alpine. I exchanged the Alpine for a Sony XAV-AX5000, like mja8105. The Alpine does not have a strong enough USB cord; therefore, it keeps losing connection with the smartphone or the screen would look distorted. Also...

Yes, you will need 2 harnesses. 1 for the steering wheel and 1 for the JBL amp. If you go to Crutchfield and put in your vehicle information, they will have a list of accessories you will need for your install. I recently installed the Sony XAV-AX5000, is this what you are looking for?

I purchased my receiver and install kit from Crutchfield. They recommended the Crux CS-TJ20 Wiring Interface that will take care of the JBL amp and steering wheel control. I will lose the ability to fade. I also paid them $25 to prep all the harnesses. Crux CS-TJ20 Wiring Interface Connect a new...

How do you like the Alpine?

Ironleague - you should post this question on the 3rd Gen Forum. You will probably get more responses.

You guys are killing me. I was about to pull the trigger on the Alpine because of the USB in the back. I'm not worried about the background and I have a Proclip mount that connects to my existing radio, so i really don't use Bluetooth. I'm also considering the Sony XAV-AX5000, but it's an...
