The other steps I didn’t list are simple pictures of how to remove the head unit.

Did you have to pull the head unit? Is the IN1 connector with the 12v rev wire going to the head unit instead of in the drive coin tray?

YouTube how to remove the head unit if you don't know already, install the purchased harness, connect/mount the switch. Done.

Having already invested a couple of hours in reading threads and more poking around I think it was money well spent.

His instructions which I had to ask for, make no mention of any IN1 connector or rev wire. Other than what I posted pictures of, the rest of the instructions is how to remove head unit.

In regards to the wiring, GZeus24 helped me out. JJ supplied instructions don't necessarily contradict what he said in the email, but it made the install slightly confusing.

Red wire from 28 pin harness - Red 1 on switch
Black wire from 28 pin harness - leave disconnected (could be hooked to green on switch as it provides 12v)
Green wire on switch - 12v ACC
Black wire on switch - ground
Red 2 on switch - illumination

Hope this helps anyone in need.

Yup, factory head unit with rear camera on the screen. Literally 20 minutes work - didn't even finish a beer before I was done. Just do it in 2 steps - install the harness and test prior to closing everything up and then and test again before drilling to mount the button. I put mine on the steering wheel column. Shrink wrapping the connections is a good idea too.

JBL/Entune Touchscreen Navigation with speed sensor override mod, JBL Speaker refit, debadged, chime removed, overhead led mod, switch LED mod, rear cupholder LED mod, ImMrYo Rear-View Mirror Lift Bracket #339, Custom Cobra CB install, Iggy Switch panel, OEM Katzkin leather seats, Seat heaters, Illuminated 4runner 4WD switch, 4runner side mirrors (heated, turnsignals, puddle lamps), husky x-act fit floor mats, climate control knob upgrade, air injection pump filter mod, underhood LED light mod, KB Voodoo bike bar

I just did this mod this weekend... Modified the pushbutton switch to white LEDs and both are lit when dahs lights on. I modded the switch to send a ground signal out to the ground side of the relay. This really simplified the wiring... 1 wire to add a fuse, cut the signal wire and wired each side to the relay then had the wire from the switch. Pleased with how it turned out, although the relay click is audible, which might be due to tucking up near the dimmer switch. 2012 O/R and the connector was as described in the previous posts. For those interested, I am attaching the modded switch. Cut through the 12v (+) trace to the 2nd (on) LED and ran a jumper wire. The switch LEDs are now fully on the illumination circuit and dim properly. The other two pins have a ground in and out.
