E7019 questions for Non-JBL 4runner

[Bob A. Booey]

Apologies if these questions are answered elsewhere, but I have done some considerable reading and I need some clairification.

I have a 2008 4runner sport - non-jbl with 6 disc changer. I installed sirius with the TOY SC-1 unit after I purchased the vehicle.

Based on my research it appears the Denso E7019 would be the closest to OEM plug n' play I can get given that I do not have a JBL amp. The following are my questions:

1. Will my Sirius adapter work with the E7019? Seems like it should since it works with the current unit I have.

2. I've read about the VSS/Reverse wire issue. How hard is it to connect the wires? I have installed a few radios before but am still an amateur.

3. Do I need a bezel or am I ok since I have the 6 disc changer currently.

4. Do I need a gps antenna? If so how do I mount one?

5. I don't think the E7019 has bluetooth so I shouldn't need to add the steering wheel buttons right?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Sorry, not sure.
2. I've read about the VSS/Reverse wire issue. How hard is it to connect the wires? I have installed a few radios before but am still an amateur.
If you know how to splice and connect wires, then you are good to good. I'm an amateur as well and managed quite well installing my E7009. Very easy to do
3. Do I need a bezel or am I ok since I have the 6 disc changer currently.
Good question, I think if you an in dash 6changer you will need a bezel. The 6changers were a little bigger than the standard radio. If you had a standard radio, you would NOT need a bezel. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
4. Do I need a gps antenna? If so how do I mount one?
This is easier than splicing into the VSS wire. MOST here have fished the wire from the back of the HU, down to the passenger footwell, up the A pillar, into the headliner, halfway through the windshield and stick (with double sided tape or whatever......mine is still just hanging there) the antenea in front of the rear view mirror.
5. I don't think the E7019 has bluetooth so I shouldn't need to add the steering wheel buttons right?
If the HU doesn't have BT, then why bother with the steering wheel buttons? So yeah, don't worry about it. Before you buy the E7019, make sure it does/doesn't have BT.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hope this helps! Good Luck:thumb3:
