Installing 2012 stock radio in a pre-2012

i need to cut some of the dash to make the non entune in dash to fit

 

Ok so I cut my surround a bit (yes I used a grinder becuz I couldn't find my dremel lol)

And by doing that this radio sits about 1/4 in deeper having enough clearance to be able to bolt it down without having the top slide off
That surround piece is a spare one I have...going to cut mine tomorrow









No gap up top


A super small gap at the bottom that I really don't care




Still a work in progress...need another harness and some other wiring to have this unit up at running 100%

 

What is different bout the harness rod?

Like the effort here! (Like we'd expect any less)

 

There's a bigger 28 prong harness that controls the Bluetooth, steering wheel controls and back up cam...
I really want the Bluetooth and back up cam wired up ASAP since I've had the cam installed on my tailgate for like a year

 

I'm sure it has looked good back there this past year.

 

ya you're telling me

 

Jerez that looks incredible! I have a '12 and you're making me want to buy the Entune to install with an aftermarket system...

Is that a start/stop button for ignition that I see?

 

Sub'd.

Looks great. May do this one day if I get a cheap OEM unit. Thanks for sharing this and making this project so much easier for the rest of us!

 

yours would fit perfectly being a 2012 just need to run new harnesses for the conversion

yes, yes it is a push start button...

no prob

just remember what i just did was to make the 2013 touch screen version of the radio to fit...not the regular 2012 one i had previously done fit...that one im still working on

 

Well I got my custom non-JBL to JBL Entune harness installed. Just waiting on my navigation unit to arrive with my household goods (just moved). More details once I start testing everything.

The custom harness is 13 feet long from the rear amplifier to the head unit. I ran it along the passenger side threshold up behind the glove box to the stereo.

Harness at amplifier. The third connector is in the mail now.



Harness running along passenger door threshold.



Going behind glovebox.





Behind headunit.



My custom harness that converts the non-JBL wiring that went to the old sustem to go to the JBL amp. Everything is plug and play, I didn't want to cut into any of the stock wiring.






Like I said more details to come once I test everything.

 

nice idk how i didnt see this post earlier...

changing the subject a bit,

where did you get that sienna button for the rear window mod?? me wantz thanks

 

Nice clean install. Where did you purchase the connectors to make that harness?

 

so i found one of the plugs i need on the web just now ( the big one on the top right- 28 pin female)
and in order to acquire 1, i need to order a minimum of 1000 damn back to looking..

 

I'll post exact part numbers / websites I bought the connectors once I test everything out and it works. Most of the connectors I bought as adapter harnesses off eBay.

 

Jerez, here is the part number for that connector. I'm still trying to source pins for it though, buying a body harness off eBay to salvage the Toyota pins out of it haha.

 

Thank you sir...ill give it a shot as well...I need to find the plug for the antenna as well since they changed them

 

For the antenna adapter look here. I contacted them but haven't heard back yet.

That's the exact site I was looking at I emailed them but nothing yet

 

If you find the pins for that connector (not the $13 ones from Toyota haha) please post the info on here.

 

Will do...or if not ill make my own...
