I replaced my head unit on my 05 a year ago and absolutely love it. I had to reinstall it a few times to get things the way I want it. Learned a lot on UA-cam. I never plan to get rid of my 05 4Runner, so I'll just keep updating it a little at a time.
Canadian Gearhead thank you for your content, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for when I watching your videos and looked at your website. 2008 4Runner V8 4WD Shadow Mica. Doug Thorley headers/y-pipe getting install soon!
I did mine several years ago. It wasn't too difficult. I installed a Pioneer AVH-2330NEX. I only wish I had went a little higher in models that provided 2 USB links to the radio. So far, it works like a charm. I put all my music, audio books, and movies on USBs. It would be nice to have 2 usbs, where I could separate my music from audio books. I installed my USB ports on the consul beside the DAC. I placed my mic on the driver side A piller to prevent the mic from shaking. The 2330 has a backup camera option, which I installed. I thought about installing a front mounted camera to the 2330, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.
Thank you for mentioning "crank up stock stereo". I had the exact same JBL in my 2006 Limited and I didn't do that before I installed the exact same partsa few months ago, all from Crutchfield. Ever since it hasn't gone loud enough so I guess I reinstall the stock unit abd give that a shot. Thanks!
@@CanadianGearhead I'll definitely come back and let you know what I find. Might be a couple weeks since I'm busy getting my track car prepped. Another troubleshooting issue you may mention in your article - normally the Maestro RR will 'see' the parking brake is engaged, but on some 05-07 Tacoma/4Runner models, it will never see it engaged. When this happened to me, the parking brake wire MUST be hardwired directly to the head unit OR a bypass used. Another reason to purchase the bypass from the get-go.
I have a 3 year old, Pioneer (sans Carplay/AA) in my 03 Limited. I may upgrade to this unit this Xmas so thanks. Btw, in order to make all the JBL speakers work (10 of them), you need to purchase the Metra TYTO-01 JBL Amplifier Interface Harness of Amazon. It can also be super finicky with some of the functions on your head unit. Mine for example, wouldn't allow me to add a Bluetooth until it was professionally rewired. Lastly, if you upgrade the speakers, the JBL amp runs at 2-3ohms. CDT audio has a great 2ohm package set that is plug and play with some front 6.5 speaker adapters. Congrats!
It's crazy how many wires goes into head units and adding even more with something like the maestro box. I just swapped mine out myself and it is 90 percent wire, 10 percent head unit. I bet if there was a standard, everyone of the wires and whatever they control could be put into one usb c data cable, minus the speaker outs themselves.
Another modification that you could consider is adding the 'smokers kit' Toyota 74110-35010-B0. Looks waay better that what comes stock and it has two chargers.
Thanks for this video and the writeup on your website! I bought this exact setup and was able to easily install it with minimal issues. I made a rookie mistake of not fully following the Maestro diagram and forgot to plug in the data cable, so none of my steering wheel controls nor the OBD2 stuff were working. Had to pull it all apart again and plug in that 1 wire. But everything is good to go and working great now!
@richard Justice I looked up the 04 4runner on the idatalink maestro rr website and said its not supported thus meaning the OBD2 readings wouldn't be supported correct?? If you have yours working that would be awesome! Glad to hear your install is working well man!!
I did a very similar setup a few months ago, and got rid of the Metra dash kit, which was terrible. Very bad fitment and flimsy. I replaced it with the Scosche TA2079B dash kit which fits perfectly.
I will probably do this in the near future... Great vid! (seriously, who dislikes useful videos such as these? there must be a quite a few neckbeards or Karens with nothing to do but gleescrolling great videos in UA-cam disliking videos with a vengeance without even seeing them)
I was really hoping to see some of the Maestro capabilities. I have a 2007 I'm about ready to do this to. I like the mic placement but I think I would prefer the USB to be near the DAC button in the center console. I have some blanks there.
I still use my CD player! The tape player, no. LOL. We keep saying we should replace the unit since the light doesn't even work so can't see what station you're on at night. But, new bumpers first!
I wires in a brand new Pioneer 1500nex When I plug up my iPhone 15 usb cable to the usb port on the radio I get no apple car play? What are you supposed to do to get car play to kick on? I did not hook up the parking brake wire, but that should only be for a video viewing . I do not get any USB charging coming from the USB port off the radio to my phone. I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong. What am I supposed to set up in the radio or set up on the phone?
Do you like having the maestro thing that shows some specs? Ive thought about doing this if and when I upgrade my 4th gens radio. Awesome video! Will definitely reference when I do mine
I find the gauges more of a novelty thing that are fun to play with but not really helpful. The biggest thing the Maestro offers aside from the steering wheel controls is the ability to scan and clear diagnostic codes from a check engine light. I can check the code and turn the light back off without even getting off the highway
For the red light up buttons on the side, can you make those whatever color you want? I see other 2660 nex units are advertised them being blue. I need them to be green to match my vehicle's lighting
Love your vids man. Your video inspired me to do some mods for my 4runner. Ive got a 2004 v8 and just put a 3inch lift on 285 70 r17 and kept the stock wheels. I am looking into wheels that will widen the stance a bit. Any recommendations would help. Thanks!
With this install, did it prompt you for "Network" or "Standard" modes for the speakers? As we are preserving the built in JBL amp, which option are we supposed to choose?
Do you know if the maestro features that display extra stuff works? Debating on getting Pioneer or Sony. The maestro stuff costs a bit more to add but the added features sound kind of cool. Edit: found my answer in the comments. Thanks !
Is there a way to keep my Toyota screen since it has original nav, I want to keep the original feel and have some type of blue tooth adapter put in to take calls and listen to music? Does your 4Runner originally have a lightening cable hole?
I’ve been putting this off for way to long I have the factory head unit with the navigation system which doesn’t show any of Canada as my 4Runner was originally from New York but I think I’m gonna pull the trigger soon and get one of these pioneer units from crutchfield. Any difference in sound quality that’s one of the reasons I’ve been putting this off as my stereo still sounds great better then my 5th gen honestly And I’m just scared it might downgrade the quality a bit.
Thanks for the video. Quick question: I had this receiver professionally installed and there is a hissing/static sound that can be heard at low volume levels. Per other UA-cam videos, that type of noise usually happens due to bad grounding. Did you experience any unwanted noise and if so, how did you get rid of it?
Great video. Question off topic i have you ever looked at replacing your fog Ignite? I have the same 4Runner and cannot find decent pair. Really looking at Baja designs but they make no mounting kit.
Do you notice much of a difference in sound quality between the pioneer and the Idoing head unit you put in the Tacoma? Which would you choose if you were to do this today? So many mixed opinions on the Android vs Brand name head units
I can't really compare sound quality fairly because the 4runner has the factory JBL system (amp and sub etc) and the Tacoma just has the base model speakers. So far the Dasaita head unit I installed in a Camry in one of my recent vids is my favorite by far - it easily sounds just as good as the Pioneer (both have JBL) and has lots of features. No need to buy an extra module for steering wheel controls either
I have a 2008 runner with navigation and don’t want to get rid of the stock screen. Is there a way to just update the software to get CarPlay? Or a 3rd party module of some sort but keep my original screen
I have a 07 Toyota 4runner Silver which i really like much but i have 1 issue. The back is higher than the front which i dont like. I would like to get the back the same height as the front giving it that LOW PROFILE look. Any advice on how that can be done??
Would this head unit be compatible with a backup camera if I were to install one? I'm kind of a newbie to this stuff, but I just bought an 05 and want to modernize this beast!
Hey Mr. Gearhead, just ordered my digital head unit from Crutchfield, was wondering how exactly you installed that flush usb port plugin? I want to do the same thing for the sake of using Apple Carplay.
It's really easy, just drill a hole in the panel to fit it in and connect the cable to the one that your phone would plug into. I just tied up the excess cable and stashed it down into the dash
Great vid. Do you ever run into the problem of your idle speed being low after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery? I've done some research and apparently Toyotas of this gen forget their correct idle speed if you unplug it.
So i have a 2660nex stereo and I'm trying to setup my andriod auto how did you do yours because I have tried to figure out and not sure where to look or start?
Mostly temps and engine load etc. I had a CEL show up yesterday and it not only shows the code but allows you to clear it and shut the light off. Basically replaces a scan tool!
Wat happened to the OBDII gauges~? I have it on my 5th gen and it works great, I want to update my 4th gen and need to know if maestro worked for OBDII sensor data? Thanks!
@@CanadianGearhead I loved it for monitoring transmission temps in the 4.0 while towing, but now have the 4.7l for a tow rig. Glad to see it works as little is documented! Can't wait to see your video!
Did you remove the xm sticker on bottom right? If so, what did you use for the sticker residue? Cant get mine off and trying to avoid using chemicals on the screen. Also, have you had any issues flipping between the radio and gps? Thanks!
@@CanadianGearhead gotcha. I'll let you know if I have success removing. Thanks for all the videos and posts. They've been helpful as I start to make my 4runner "mine".
I recently installed a Chinese head unit in our Tacoma to compare to this one, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/oef5-V65xuY/v-deo.html

Do you have any issues with rust in the frame?
Just bought a 2008 4Runner today. Your channel has been very helpful! Thanks for the great content.
Finally I found a good replacement for my old head unit. Now I can blast WAP while I’m cruising in my 4Runner
If you add a tint strip to the top of your windshield it will help a lot with sun glare on the stereo. It made a world of difference on mine.
I love relevant content on "older" cars.
I ended up going with the exact same radio, I’m really impressed with the headunit and the Apple CarPlay and made road trips a lot more enjoyable.
Agreed 👍

I'm happy with the fit now, just required some adjusting
Im in love 4 your car
great vid! You should do one on what you have done to manage the rust on your rig if you have done anything already.
Already have a vid on my channel my friend
Kept my OEM head unit, and installed a Kenwood amp with Bluetooth. Basically my phone is my head unit. I will eventually upgrade to a tablet.
More info please and part number.
We need more MR2 videos!
Great video. I have a 4th generation looking for anew stereo. Had to have my cv axles replaced first.

Do you need the parking brake pass for navigation? I just don't see a need for it unless there is a feature I'm overlooking.
From what I remember, there where a few screens in the settings that weren't accessible while driving

Hey man, awesome vid! So what was the final price tag on this build?
How do I update this system? I can’t find the firmware updates anywhere for this model
just connect your parking switch to ground.
