Aftermarket stereo in 2020 - pics and tips

Get on Maestro's website and it'll list everything you need. And as an update, Scosche told me they have no plans to update their kit to 2020. I assume Metra's will not fit either, so be prepared for the mods at the beginning of this thread.

Have you ran into any issues with the saftey systems not working after you installed the radio, mostly collision warnings?

First off, thanks for the walk through and warnings/troubles you had along the way.

Do you have a list of the Maestro kits you used for this? Want to make sure I am getting the right parts...

I also ordered the Metra dash kit as it is black which will match my dash. I will let you know if I run into the same issues. Unfortunately, I think I will as the kit is for 2010+ models, not 2020 specific models.

Did you have better luck with the Metra kit? Looking at moving my Kenwood HU over from my Tundra to a 21 4Runner.

Crazy but awesome installation. Question... I just picked up a 2021 TRD OR Premium - 8 speaker system with Nav. You mentioned you went with all Infinity speakers I was looking at using Infinity Kappa 62IX 6-1/2's in the rear doors and hatch and Infinity Kappa 693M 6x9" in the front doors. Crutchfield says they don't fit. I was hoping you used the Kappa line in your install and if so did you need to modify anything?

All Kappas in my install. The reason Crutchfield says nothing fits 2020+ 4Runners is that, as you can tell, the manufacturers have not made anything specific to our trucks yet. The install kits are a mess and don't fit. So I think Crutchfield is not comfortable recommending anything until things improve.

FYI, Metra has updated their kit to include 2020 and up 5th gen fitment.

I don't think I would be willing to give up the huge visual downgrade of an aftermarket radio in the 2020 over the sound gains. I modified a factory 2012 radio to fit in an aftermarket radio into the spot where the OEM screen was. Looks almost factory minus the non-functioning side buttons and some bad cutting on my part.

You don’t have to. I kept my 2021 headunit. All you need is a dsp. Oem eq curve is terrible. Once you flatten and sum the signal you have clean signal to work with
