Hi everyone, I joined the forum just to ask this question as it seems I have finally find the one repository of information on these things! Hope that's OK :rapture:
I'm trying to do the opposite of everyone in here... and install one of these (in a Toyota that didn't have one). My wife loves keeping her 2000 Solara OEM-appearing. She's wanted a radio with BT and USB for a while but didn't want anything aftermarket or anything that looked too new.
Since the car has the factory JBL sound system with amplifier I cannot use the speaker outs on the head unit directly.
Instead of going with a Metra 70-8113 and a 4-channel high-level to RCA adapter box... is there a certain harness that would just plug into this radio and to the car?
I did read this: "It is not a standard Toyota harness inside the Urban Runner. There is a jumper harness from the main vehicle harness to the Eclipse deck that comes with the Urban Runner."
So... where can I find that harness? Anyone have a part number?
Thanks for any help you can give!

Here is some insight into what I encountered with an 09 urban runner. I had the PAC SWI-RC-1 for the steering wheel control. Now you only need these for the controller called dip switches. They are 1,3,4,6,8 up 2,5 and 7 down. This programs the controller. This goes for the pioneer and alpine radios. SWI-RC-1 Wiring Guide – PAC this will help with finding which switches you need for your specific radio using the 4runner as the vehicle. The wiring is white to red/black, white/black to blue/yellow, and black(ground) to brown/black on the 4 pin connector. Attached is the pictures I have from this.

Has anyone tried replacing the TomTom Unit with an aftermarket backup camera as well?
HI guys, I am replacing my old aftermarket head Unit with a new Kenwood DNX997xr and wanted the MAESTRO RR so i can get tire pressure and gauges, I also purchased the to1 harness, long story short my truck original HU was the TOM TOM one, I took the new HU to a place to have it installed after 3 hours the guys says he cant install the MAESTRO or the to1 in my truck cause it is not compatible, I told him I knew other people have installed it and it works, anyway they charged me $350 for the install but didnt install the MAESTRO or to1 is there anyone that can help me out in the NJ shore area? I really wanted this installed but now i am broke wasnt expecting such a high price for half of what I wanted installed. I am not good with wire tracing and stuff like that to do it myself...
Or if anyone has a detailed wiring for the MAESTRO and TO1 please post it, then maybe I can bring it back with the info and see if I can get it installed or attempt myself.
I actually found the wire harness layout for the urban runner with tom tom HU. You can see how different it is from normal 4runners. Can someone help me install the maestro RR and T01 wire harness adapter? I am not good with wire diagrams

do the tom tom unit a premium jbl system? for the maestro, you just need the odb 2 signal right? and then the the steering wheel inputs right?
try this guide to use the steering wheel adapter wires.

It had the TOM TOM unit NO JBL. The shop installed a axxess steering wheel control so they work. I really want the obd2 signal for tire pressure, gauges and codes everything else is currently working. they didnt use the TO1 harness. I dont understand that wiring diagram you posted... If you look at the diagram from the tom tom nothing matches up, they spliced the kenwood wiring to the trucks wiring.

i know plugs dont match up, you need to hardwire these in, follow the idatalink as a guide, the metra uses the same signal wires, so you can tap in those. now for the odb2 plug, you should be able to just plug that in,
idatalink maestro needs to be flashed with the correct firmware.
on the maestro, find out what color is the
swi1
swi2
feed
accessory
ground
the accessory and ground can be tied into the radio harness.

thats the problem i cant figure out what all the wires are, the ones that connect to the stereo are easy they are marked but the ones that go into the maestro are not. I was thinking of getting the standard replacement connectors for the sr5 and wire the 10 and 6 pin in for the speakers and power so I dont have to completely mutilate the TO1 harness, Where I am confused is the steering wheel controls and the aftermarket rear camera, the truck never came with a backup camera but the TO1 harness has a connector for it, do I have to wire that in to? or can I just leave it the way it was installed? I also Have a aftermarket amp but I think I am able to just leave that the way it is. I did flash the maestro and configured the steering wheel. but I have no idea how to wire it direct to truck wires since I dont know which wires are which. and when I find them do I just match them up sw1 to sw1 sw2 to sw2?

use the regular sw as a guide, see if you can see the wire color are the same for that harness. now on the camera harness, you might just need to use the other guide and find the signal for the rca + and -. there is no need for that harness your trying to plug and play, its needs to be directly hardwire.
see if you can use the purple/red , pink/red , black white, red is accessory wire and black is ground. this is for the steering wheel part.

wire colors are all different, the truck wires are red/yellow=sw-1, purple=speed, brown/black=ground, blue/yellow=sw2, the wires from the axxess and maestro are different also. I also cant find what the wire colors on the maestro and the axxess are what colors are for sw1 &2 speed and ground. Ive spent hours online trying to find the info with no luck.
this is so confusing I am beyond frustrated, urban runners wiring suck ass they couldnt just use standard wiring like every other truck, I am not sure I want to attempt this myself dont want to ruin a brand new stereo if I screw something up. it just sucks I spent all this money and i cant get it installed.

they used to have hard wire diagram for the maestro, just need to look it up.
but on the maestro harness, did you see the wire colors i mentioned before, the harness that came with the unit, you might find the same colors on that exspensive harness you have too.

if you disect the expensive harness, you see only the maestro uses the power, and ground, the signals for steering wheel controls, and odb 2, see where the harness needs the actual power and grounds. some grounds are all together on the harness, the other parts of that harness is aux, radio speaker wires and vss.

Thank you for the help I really appreciate it. I looked on the harness that came with the maestro fount the pink/red black/white and the purple/red there is no red wire. colors on the TO harness are different. That video unfortunately didnt help me.

now you located the pin out on the original harness, match up the pin out on the expensive harness, if they used different colors, youll atleast know which pin out is being used.

check that out, i found the hardwire diagram of the harness. you might want to disect some wires and use only certain plugs. install is straight forword. i was going to purchase the harness by itself to disect, but i only use the power and ground and ac for my installs.
