    I am shopping for head units and I decided to lean towards a DVD/Reciever as I really do not need Nav (I have a portable garmin). That being said, I really want to use something that keeps the steering wheel controls operable. :)

    I know the Eclipse AVN6620 works but are there any others? Pioneer, kenwood? Is there a special harness? Model suggestions?

    Help:confused:

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    The options open up considerably if you are willing to purchase an adapter.

    A few bolts are different.
    I have a JVC AVX810 that works with the controls. All the HU's will need a Pac-Swi adapter to work. I will be willing to Part with my Jvc for $425 if interested because I do want one with Navi.

    Edit: I will also throw in the Ipod audio/video cable in with it. $45 value.

    I am not discounting an adapter at all I guess.....would stereo install places know about how to install the PAC-SWI or would that be asking too much, lol :confused:

    False.

    Fujitsu Ten, manufacturer of Eclipse, also makes Toyota factory electronics. I can only speak for the AVN-6620 and 2005+ non JBL systems, but everything plugs right in. No adapters are needed to hook this head unit up.
