I have no idea on the cost but you can call them directly. The phone number is on the web page. After chasing down as many options that were findable on the web, I decided the best sounding, least time consuming instal and most out of the way for storage approch is to use the JL Audio...

Check fuses...all of them. (in the amp, inline to the amp) Use volt meter and check power to the amp before the fuse and after in case bad fuse looks good...this happened to me once. Check ground connections. Have power to amp but no pulse? Use Shock paddles at dealer or send to grave yard.

I guess you would have to start by thinking like a thief...or a kid. Figuring that they are already looking at your stuff in the first place, if your hiding something then it might make someone curious enough to find out more. If it is stolen from your driveway then chances are the thief is...

One added thing to this. The switch comes without the harness and the dealer wont sell you just the one plug but only the entire dash harness. You are left to connect your wires directly to the prongs or find the harness. I found the wire harness plug at the junk yard (bring your switch to match...

I installed the Hella 500's and did not want to cut a hole in the dash to use the switch they provide. I tried using a flip switch that I fit into the T4R dummy switch but that looked less then perfect. The Manhattan Beach Toyota dealer recommended that I use the switch from the Tacoma. The...

Basically he sealed off the bottom and fiberglassed it. To get the volume you can measure by using plastic bags and a calculated amount of sand. I was given a quick explanation but I have never worked with fiberglass beyond a simple surf board repair so the details got lost in translation. The...

While trying to find how I want my sub installed I ran across something different. Great idea but more than I want to get into. View it for what it's worth.

I have: 05 T4R 2WD silver bezel trim that has the oversized radio port for the 6cd changer or NAV. The bezel is in excellent conditon. I am also willing to swap the A/C control unit that fits into the bezel. Yes, they are sized differently and mine has the granite stone like pattern and is...

I bought my 05 4runner limited from the used car area at Longo Toyota and the service was excellent. No hard close or overly agressive sales reps. I looked all over Los Angeles and the were the easiest to deal with and when I bought a car with them the process was as nice and easy as when I...

I have an 05 2wd w/ JBL 6disk indash changer and want to swap the AC bezel with one that has the smaller radio port to acomodate my aftermarket HU. If anyone is upgrading to the Nav unit and is looking for the larger A/C bezel and would like to swap, just let me know. When I find the new...

Isolated it to the back amp...glad that's over and thanks for the help.

I did check the voltage but NOT the drop, and only at the HU constant and Acc wire. I will definatly check and am very greatful for the help. At one point I did remove the RCA's completly but could only watch to see if there was flickering on the screen and none was noticable at high volume...

I have some serious noise w/ the car stereo. I will be home tonight doing some more night audio trying to isolate it after work. The ground loop part seems easy compared to the harmonic wherr...wherr.. wherr that starts of soft and picks up to a loud noise. The ground loop isolator killed the...

Thanks much for the help. I had no idea what to call it besides radio cover. Time to see if someone wants to swap.

I was wondering about doing something like that. Is it that simple? The bezel is a direct swap from say an 03 SR5 to the 05 Limited but with the different radio port? Thanks for the insight and what post did you find this from? I did not find anything like that.
