PT546-00160 - 2016+ Scion Head Unit

I finally completed install, including SiriusXM. I went with GSR-101 instead of GSR-001. Turns out the GSR-101 has USB out and in so you don't have to sacrifice other USB functionality. GSR-001 only has USB out (to radio).

I mounted BT mic on steering wheel column. Works great.

Now I want BT buttons for my steering wheel!

When nav comes down in price, I'll surely add it.

Cool, where did you add the Sirius antenna? When you added it, did a satellite radio icon show up in the source menu?
 
For navigation you will need Toyota Part No.: PT296-12160
You will also need the brackets to attach the navigation module to the radio- PT228-18160

I just ordered the NAV from these guys: OEM QNG-BE2808 Navigation Module Toyota Include Wiring for 180.00 ? - Radio / Navigation & Parts

I paid extra to use Paypal and Fedex. So if they are fraudulent, I should be covered.

Now I need to hunt down the brackets. Still trying to figure out if and how I can switch to North America maps. Looks like it is update through USB, see page 158: http://www.billswebspace.com/OMSADG0702D.pdf

EDIT: I cancelled order until I confirm with a dealer that they can update maps at a reasonable cost.

For the love of Zeus, after weeks of working around, I got my camera to work. I would like to do a write up in a build thread or something, but this Photobucket crap has really messed with my motivation to do so.

Anyway, I used the the harness that was posted here earlier with the fuses and stuff. I got mine on eBay, I think from the same seller as autoharnesshouse. It probably would have worked with my old harness, but this solved the trying to tap 12v power to the camera problem. One big issue is the plug wouldn't fit in my radio without some persuasion from a razor and dremel.

Lastly, I had to add a reverse wire to my 24pin connector. The harness I purchased came with one that has the pin and everything. I just inserted it into my connector.

I ended up tapping that red/yellow wire in the driver door sill and that made the camera work flawlessly. It was in the center of the loom toward the bottom. Overall, I'm not pleased with the camera. It's better than nothing, but it's not as wide view as I had hoped, it's off center, and I can't see my bumper which helps me gauge distance. I probably can't do anything about the off center, but may look into different camera options.

I wired up everything with quick disconnects instead of butte connectors so I could easily replace components in the future if they fail. But damn what a PITA this whole adventure has been.

Here's pics of the wire I tapped in the driver door sill. I had to cut away a little tape on both ends to give me room to work/manipulate the wire.

I've tried running a 12v signal from the rear reverse tail light to the 2nd pin in the 24 pin harness. I measured 12v was indeed arriving only upon shifting into reverse. Didn't flip the screen to another "source", i.e. like the RCA input. I honestly don't think Pin 2 is the input for a reverse signal as a result of my testing. Could there be some versions of this 2016 Scion radio that don't have reverse camera capability?

Edit: I agree about your thought that the radio shouldn't care if the camera is running 12v or 6v. Those that have the 6v camera are running power from the radio (6v). I'm not getting power from the radio but from an accessory 12v source that is definitely supplying 12v to the camera. The camera is outputting about 1.5v from the RCA plug when the 12v accessory source is powered. It's the radio not recognizing when reverse is engaged (and not knowing to switch input to the RCA source.)

Did you get this working?
 
Bummer... I should have done more research on this myself... apparently there is not a "plug-and-play" wiring harness for the "UrbanRunner" package (I have a 2009 Trail Edition)...
I ordered all the parts I needed from the parts list in this thread, then pulled the existing deck, and lo and behold, the connectors don't mate up.
I now have to decide whether or not to cut & splice :(
 
Maybe a dumb question but... If you don't care about hands free calling BUT you want to stream music via Bluetooth do you have to get the (PT546-00120-MC) Bluetooth Microphone Kit ?

On older scion radio's the answer was yes. You needed the mic to enable Bluetooth. Haven't tested it here, but my assumption is you need the mic.
 
PT546-00120-CH: "wire harness" - appears to be for "accessory" features only
PT546-00120-AD: "antenna conversion" - appears to do more than antenna... does this also provide for power, trigger, speaker leads, etc?

I also purchased the backup camera harness from AutoHarnessHouse.com (which won't mate up to the vehicle harness in my case - UrbanRunner package) -- but the wiring is not color coded (majority are white) as it is intended to be an "in-line" connection :(

I've been digging, but haven't found a great pinout chart for the various connectors/cables/harnesses for the PT546-00160 deck or associated harnesses...

Anyone have the info I'm after?
 
Also try this
Diagnostic menu 2016 scion radio
Turn the key to accessory and let your radio start up
Hold down the media button and turn the headlights on and off 3x all the way
A diagnostic menu will come up. Go to vehicle signal and you can check your reverse signal. You can then shift in and out of reverse and see if the signal changes, if not then the reverse signal wire is wired wrong.

Very useful info, thanks!

Also, the video signal (camera) needs to be present (powered) upon startup of the headunit, or the headunit will mark the video input OFF.

I had the reverse signal working, but the headunit would not switch to the video signal (because I had connected it AFTER the headunit was powered up).

No, you do not need the mic. I have bluetooth music streaming working w/out the mic on my PT546-00160.
 
After the request has gone out on parts, I thought i would help in getting that data to you all that have requested. Specifically for [MENTION=163814]killerb3ar[/MENTION] and [MENTION=78563]K3pack[/MENTION] but also for those that need it. I have also done the search for you and the links have been provided. All you have to do is have your payment ready. Happy hunting!
