Scion FRS Radio

[Buckles]

My god, what a difference.

Thanks so much man. Swapped in 30mins all said and done w tools put away.

All you'll need is a flat head screw driver, #10 & #8 socket wrench w extension. This is an absolute Breeze And what a difference it makes

Thanks again. I'll post pics when I get home tonight

Awesome. Did you end up getting the nav extension as well or just the head unit?

Will i be able to pull this radio out for one if these frs radios?
Or is this the jbl that will not convert?

Perfect, Thanks. I'll post pics

I honestly have yet to see a "smooth" operating navigation system in a car. Really slow or delayed but I love my google maps app that I've used since the app came out therefore just the head unit

This looks great. Thanks Buckles & Az636 for posting your progress with this. I've been wanting to add bluetooth and nav for a while and wanted to maintain as near a factory look as possible and I think this fits the bill. Two quick questions though.

1. Do the steering wheel controls function with this unit?
2. I know neither of you have the nav module, but do you foresee any issues fitting it into the dash?

The steering wheel controls still work.

Neither of us have the nav unit, however fitting it in the dash will not be a problem as the actual headunit has very slim behind the face plate, and has enough space so that when the nav is connected, its no bigger than the stock radio.

Awesome, thanks! Looks like I'm going to be on the hunt for one of these.

They are on the scion forum all the time, but they aren't cheap.

Scion forums and/or craigslist. Craigslist seemed to be the cheapest when I found mine, but keep hunting.

I'm in the works for a rearview camera (i'll have pics)

I conveniently sold a BRZ for my 4runner so I was already a member

Is it safe to assume that if all my fm/am channels are 100% static that my antenna connection came unplugged when I shoved everything back in the dash?

More than likely. Did you get the antenna adapter so that you could plug both antennas into the unit.

No, I was told by another member that did the swap (both of us had standard non-touchscreen units) that I just needed to plug the one in.

Can anyone confirm this?

That is incorrect. You will lose signal a lot and will have static on most stations without the second antenna plugged in.

3 harnesses from toyotapartszone : $115
2 metra 40-gm10 , 40-uv43 from Staples : $6.51 . Yes, Staples. Who would have thought Staples. Now just waiting for all the stuff to arrive so I can install the unit.

 

[acronin2]

Buckles, can you confirm that this would not work with the JBL Synthesis system?

I have no way to confirm that. I do not have JBL.

 

[toyotatech84]

So to beat a dead horse. All you need are obviously the head unit. (On order) as a Toyota employee I can get the 3 main harnesses antenna main harness and blue tooth (not sure if I want a USB drive seeing as to how the unit has Bluetooth audio. The 2 metra harnesses. A few free hours and some beer? Or am I missing something. I was able to find head unit from a customer at work selling it.

 

[swapmeet]

I have one on the way!

Maybe a dumb question but I'll ask.
Is there a way to have a AUX/jack input?
Or is that the point of Bluetooth audio?

I've never used that so I don't know how it works. I have a iPhone 5

Thanks again!

Where did you find it? Anybody figure out what model # this unit is? Might be easier to find it that way then looking for "Scion FRS" radio.
