I've had my site up for a week now and just wanted to let everyone know!

I offer three things right now.

1) Reverse polarity kit for HVAC display and Odometer

2) Steering wheel retrofit service (you send me the steering wheel controls from any 5th gen 4Runner wheel or 2012 to present Tacoma steering wheel along with your current controls (including the cruise control switch) and I will de-pin and rewire a new plug and play harness

3)Full interior led replacement service. (You send me your odometer, interior switches, and Hvac cluster and I will solder in brand new white leds for everything and blue for the HVAC indicator arrows, blinker, and gear selection on instrument cluster

My site is:

Is it easy to read the white letters/numbers on the black background on a sunny day? (for ODO/HVAC) Also, can you do the heated seat switches? They weren't listed on the website.

I bought the first wheel he ever did. Function is 100% OEM. My wheel has the volume/track scan pad and source. Everything works and is lit up as it would be from the factory. Including cruise control, I'm realistically his first ever customer an he was awesome to work with. I sent him money for the wheel an we still text now like 4 months later randomly haha.

Yes it is! Some of these photos were taken during the day and the display is still easily visible. And as for the heated seat switches yes! I apologize that I forgot to add that haha. After work I’ll make that change

The left hand controls all function exactly the same as factory plus the Bluetooth if you have an aftermarket radio with Bluetooth and steering wheel controls adapter. The right hand buttons are made to be duplicates if that is indicated in the options. Otherwise I can leave them as blanks. Currently there were no other controls supported
 
I love the LED stuff, but still kind of torn on the reverse polarity display. My biggest problem is the lead time and shipping because I need to use it everyday for my job/tools. I have other cars, but if saw the quantity of tools I have to carry, you’d understand why, especially since both of my other cars are small convertibles, lol. The one time I had to do it last year when my brakes failed, it seemed like even though I thought I had my essential tools, I inevitably needed something I didn’t have with me because of space.:smash:

So I have an aftermarket radio and use a maestro idatalink. That thing gives me a ton of control over setup of audio controls. Are the right side controls independent? Meaning they could be changed? Or are they just plugged into the same pins as the left, meaning they duplicate and can only duplicate that function?
 
I like the reverse polarity kit. To be clear, installing it simply flips the current colors, correct? In other words, the white LEDs mentioned above are for the fan, temp control, & airflow source buttons (or knobs, or whatever they are), yes, and the odo & info panel characters are amber on the dark background?

That’s how I read it but always better to be certain before laying out $.

Also, how complex is the reverse polarity install?

Yeah I completely understand. If you are wanting to do something quick without any lead time I suggest the reverse polarity kit. It doesn't take more than an hour to install and includes film for the odometer and HVAC display. It also includes a pre-built wire harness with two 12 volt LED's for the HVAC display along with a wire tap, razor and full online instruction manual and video. I also have a 5 dollar add on that includes 6 LED's for the HVAC buttons that just pop in the factory locations.

You honestly might be able to set them up for other functions. The right side buttons have their own separate pins in the harness so as long as the clock spring connections go somewhere it would be possible. For me I was not able to find other functions which may just be due to my steering wheel controls adapter (made mine duplicates)

The install is pretty straight forward. I have the instruction manual on my site if you would like to take a look. And yes this kit will flip the displays so it will be a dark background with raised lettering. If your instrument cluster still has amber LED's then the odometer will have a dark background with orange numbers. The HVAC display once flipped will be dark with white lettering as the kit includes a prebuilt wire harness with a wire tap for the specified connection point(The LED's are 12 volts) You can also do the add on for the kit which includes 6 T3 LED's for the HVAC button illumination. (the little orange arrows will still be orange as those must be de-soldered to replace)
 
We’ll have to see on the steering wheel kit. That’s probably close to 1k, really nice, but really expensive. I’m a buyer if your polarity kit though. I’m guessing it’s easily reversible if it’s not my thing? Also, wasn’t really interested in doing the odometer. But even in stock amber, is it still easy to read? Your HVAC looks great.

I completely understand. And to reverse it you would need to use more polarization film in the original orientation. I cannot guarantee that going back to what it was before would look exactly like oem as the film I use I'm sure is different from what toyota uses. And the stock amber for the odometer is easily readable but for the HVAC cluster it would not be. Those 12 volt white LED's I include would really have to be used to make things visible during the day as the stock toyota bulbs I do not believe would be bright enough
