Need Help on '04 JBL Unit Upgrade!

[flamot1]

Could someone be so kind as to explain whether or not I can replace my '04 JBL head unit with a newer 4Runner year model that is satellite ready. I want satellite radio without having to go to an aftermarket head unit or a second satellite reciever. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize for bringing this thread back to life, but I've been searching with no results. I also have an 04 Limited with the JBL system, and would love to have the satellite and (more importantly) aux input from the newer models. Is this an easy swap?

The 03-04 has an analog amp. The ones after that I believe are digital. So you'd need the amp as well.

I also have an 04 Limited. It has the built in nav, which is pretty cool. I've been debating just taking the whole thing out to get a stereo w/ the aux jack. But I like the backup camera for towing, so I'm kind of stuck. Now looking for a 3rd party solution that uses the existing radio, like this:

Also see this link, but it's just the aux/Ipod input:

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking that the USA Spec unit is the way to go for me.

yeah that one's much cheaper than the others, which is a big plus.
