Switched to a JBL 6 Disc Changer

Here is my write up for switching to a JBL 6 Disc in dash from a JBL Single CD changer. First thing, do not buy the Sienna unit as it does not fit perfectly with the Silver Bezel that surrounds the head unit. The 2004 JBL Single disc unit has a cutout at the edges of the face plate that creates a "lip" around the edge. The Sienna JBL 6 Disc, does not have the cutout so it hits the silver bezel in the back. Through some cutting and sanding, it is probably possible, but I didn't want to go through that route. I found this out the hard way and now I have to sell the Sienna JBL Unit (see it on ebay...) The Sienna unit though does work mechanically and functions just like from the factory. Fortunately a member on the board (Prozac), had just recently done the Navigation swap and had his factory JBL 6 Disc from his 2005 SE as well as the silver bezel and A/C-Trip-clock unit. The bezel and the A/C-Trip-clock unit are necessary to accomodate the 2005 JBL 6 disc unit. The 2005 JBL 6 Disc has different dimentions so this is why you needed different trim pieces. He needed the trim piece and my A/C-Trip-clock from my 2004 4Runner to accomodate his Navigation, so we worked out a deal and swapped parts. 2004 4runner JBL Single Disc Part Number: 86120-25291 2005 4Runner JBL 6 Disc Part Number: 86120-35201 2005 Sienna JBL 6 Disc Part Number: 86120-0C140 Picture of the Sienna JBL Unit in my 2004 using the stock silver bezel: Picture of 2005 JBL 6 Disc changer using 2005 Bezel and A/C-Trip-clock : Picture of JBL Single Disc, Bezel and AC Control unit. Can you see the difference? Picture of front/back of 2004 JBL Single Disc: Picture of front/back of 2005 Sienna JBL 6 disc: If you look closely at the JBL Single and Sienna JBL 6 Disc, you can see the lip on the outer edge. With that lip cutout you can use the outer bezel and A/C controls that came with your Single Disc 4Runner. You could also try shaving the back of the bezel, but I wasn't brave enough. The Sienna JBL unit does "fit" but it is not flush and makes the panels stick out. Well hopefully this will help someone, if you have any questions let me know... July

Bezel Swap-outs

I have a 2005 Limited 4x4 w/ JBL 6-disc. I've purchased the solara navi HU package (OEMvalue.com), but I'm roadblocked at the bezel issue. If anyone is interested in a swap, please contact me via PM or e-mail. I'm also considering unloading the solara navi HU to avoid the entire modification, so if anyone is needing one of those and wants to avoid the $1500 price tag, feel free to contact for that as well.
