not bad actually...it will sound exactly like when your FM reception is perfect, it isnt CD quality, but its not bad at all..its the same as those AUX input adapters imo.
Only time you have a problem is when the cars radio is messed (tuner is on its way out)
you can also pick up a wired FM modulator. Does not transmit audio wireless, instead, has a hardwire connection to the back of your radio (antenna input) and a headphone (or RCA plug depending on the unit you get) that you can put audio into.
Downside, doesn't charge the ipod, or let you...
if your intent is to have your passengers legally watch video (from behind the drivers seat)..there is a AV output behind the radio. Run that to a screen (either overhead or headrest) and it will work when the car is in motion.
Metra makes a double din dash kit for the 4th gen dash (jbl and non-jbl)
Also, that double din nav/ screen isnt that great in my opinion. See if you can go to a store that carries eclipse and use one. I find them to be ugly, clunky to navigate, and the displays (especially the one on the top...
If you do have a factory head unit, it will not have any additional outputs of any kind. The radio is made by toyota / fujitsu ten (eclipse) like most toyota radios.
The speakers are basic regular factory speakers.
The factory sound system didnt sound BAD for what it was. I am never impressed...
I agree, there are a ton of very similar wire colors in toyota vehicles. Just saying to someone with a particular question "Green wire in driver kick" is incredibly vague, and was the reason for my reply. If you had said what you said after (noting the fact that it is a parking light wire and...
when i was curious about this as well, i starting doing alot of testing on the wires that control the whole system. You can see the wires by removing your overhead sunglass holder, the switch / relay are attached right to it. I think i got it figured out on paper how to not have the "safety"...
????? green wire in kick? How do you figure? He did not give a year it could be an 86' or a 07' for all we know.
Bostonbeachbum, please post your year / gen 4Runner so we can give you accurate wiring info. I am not sure if you are going to find a negative or positive status wire for when the...
you can drill a hole where the clutchplate is (assuming you have an auto) and use the appropriate grommet to put the wire through it.
As far as your tweeters, if you have factory tweeters you can adhere the aftermarket ones right up behind the grille of the factory tweeter cover. If you do not...
Metra 70-1761 harness is what will adapt the factory plug to the after market head unit. If it has the JBL system it requires the Metra TYTO-01
Dash kit for that vehicle (sounds like you already have it) is the Metra 99-8206. If it has JBL is requires the Metra 99-8210
$500 bucks? If the rest is in good shape besides the engine, it would be worth COMPLETLEY rebuilding the entire engine. Post pics or more info if you can.
Under your driver seat or on one of the rear folding seats is your best bet. You can put it in the access compartment in the rear, it just takes some time and fabrication to make it fit right.
I can make you an amp rack that goes over your rear driver passenger wheel well. I made one a while...
