    Planning purchase of 2011 TRD Sport w/JBL Audio and factory bluetooth.

    I'm looking at Pioneer AVIC-X920BT. Just want to confirm that steering wheel audio controls and especially, steering wheel BT controls will work with this unit. Actually, a big part of my decision rides on whichever HU works with these controls.

    Please let me know your model # that works with all the steering wheel controls.
    Thanks in advance!

    Also, can the factory backup cam be routed from the rearview to the HU display on this or any other unit?

    For the steering wheel controls they will work, but I think you need some kind of adaptor from pioneer. Not sure about the backup camera, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

    I just got the same head unit installed in my 2010. I don't have the JBL audio just the standard audio but the installers were able to make my steering wheel controls work just fine using that same adapter. Everything works great and I think you'll really like that head unit. I love mine.

    I have the same radio in my 2010. I have everything hooked up and working except for the factory mic.

    I bought and added the steering wheel bluetooth controls from toyota and they work fine with the SWI-PS version 1.6.8. (You need this version or better for all the buttons to work).

    I also hooked up a front view camera instead of doubling the rear view camera that came stock. You can tap into that signal though, and double the screen.

    My mirror has the mic built in (I didn't have the BT system stock, so it looks like a standard component on the 2.4" rear view LCD mirror).

    I'm using the pioneer mic for the time being, but I would like to be able to splice into the factory mic. I couldn't find any diagrams. Help would be appreciated.
