For anyone that has the factory JBL system on their Sequoia, Metra harness 70-8113, 70-8114, and Axxess Converter AX-MLOC745 will work with an aftermarket radio. Harness 70-8114 will retain the SWC on your vehicle. Used those accessories when I installed a 10.1 inch android radio on my 04 Sequoia. No need to splice the wires or bypass the factory amp with these harnesses.
Awesome. Im super new to doing this and found out i have the same setup wires. I think i will try that converter. Any videos i can reference bc looks confusing. Ty
That was super detailed man, great job! I have a 06 Sequoia I got last summer. I been loving it. I’ve refoamed my jbls and they sound great but down the line I will probably do this because I like Apple car play. If you don’t mind sharing how much was this set up? It would also be nice to add in a back up camera but I’m unsure when Toyota added those to the sequoia, maybe gen 2? Just subscribed, looking forward to the rest of your build. Cheers
Thank you so much for the support!! it really changes how the interior feel you should defiantly do it!! the headunit was about $350 and interface is $105 and the dash kit was $12. if you have $500 to play with should get you a nice set up and the apply car play is so worth it. and I have everything I used linked down in the discription if you want to take a look at it crutch field is really helpful.
You can use Metra harness 70-8113, 70-8114, and Axxess Converter AX-MLOC745 if you have the JBL system on your Sequoia. Metra 70-8113 will retain your SWC if your vehicle is equipped with one. Those are the accessories that I used on the 10.1 inch android radio that I installed a few days ago on my 04 Sequoia.
Does the HPF and LPF on the Kenwood unit work with the JBL amps or do those features on work they the head units RCA outputs? Also on your setup how can you add a subwoofer amp?
On that unit he has, the rcas plug directly into the back of the headunit and you just tie the amp turn on into the amp turn on wire. As long as you have a headunit with “SW” labeled on the back of the headunit then you’re golden
Hi, did you connect the brown wire from the pac unit to the brown wire from the stereo? The pac unit wiring diagram says the brown wire is "SWC Output/Key 2" and the stereo brown wire has a tag on it saying "Mute" but the stereo wiring diagram says "Not Used". Also, did you plug in the 3.5mm jack from the pac unit labeled "SWC Output" to your stereo? Thanks!
Great video & product review. Just purchased my second Sequoia 2006 limited. My JBL system has the 10 spkr with navigation and SWC. All wires connected but my SWC don't work. When i press them the PAC unit seems to receive signal, the led lights change color, but don't control the radio, PIONEER AVH-521ex. Any thoughts on this? What color is the wire that on the Sequoia harness that connects to the controls? thanks for any help. Again, you made this super easy. Thank you.
Thank you so much I hope it helps you out.

@@undercrownhiphop9422 I can't remember what they are for but I just went ahead and connected them if you have the PAC system it should have everything in or call clutchfeild they can give you more technical answers
Also I have the same exact interface kit and it shows the dip switch pattern is 1,2, and 3 on for Pioneer and 1 and 2 on for kenwwod. On my PAC on is the down position. I have a pioneer so I have the first three switches down and the fourth up.
I can't remember if it was opposite by the up down function lol sorry I couldn't be more of help. but It was tricky or at least I confused my self the instructions are good if you follow them correctly but they also can be confusing a little bit
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been freaking out trying to figure out what I needed to swap out my factory head unit. Question-Was that PAC thing plug and play? Did you have to do anything to get it working?
Great video Mo! One question though When you were wiring up the PAC you added Don’t forget the power wire on the screen. Is there a power wire that goes into the PAC or just those two plugs you showed? Aside from the proper wire connections is there another power wire? I have a 2007 SR5 with JBL with no steering wheel controls. Thanks Mo!
@@MoWahidi hey Mo, there’s one connector left on the PAC harness that has a red, black , and yellow wire and a fuse on it. Is that the power wire that has to be plugged in at the other end of the PAC unit?
Thanks so much for the video, I will be looking to update my 03 Sequoia radio to this unit or something alike. Question: I couldn't help not notice the digital fuel and temp gauges on the dash, do you have any info on those or did they come with the vehicle? Thanks again.
im glad I could help! and for the gauges those came in the 2005-2007 they have a different set of gauges. and I think on the 07 limited they came with surface mounted LED diodes SMD. so mine is lit up during the day and night.
@@MoWahidi thanks, one last question: is the radio still working as the first day (good)........... I've seen a few reviews on it and they don't always speak well of its performance. Thanks again
Thanks for the walkthrough Mo, did you ever remember why the white wire needs to be connected to the OBD2 port? Also do you just unplug it when you need to run codes?
From what I gathered, there should be an interface on the head unit you use to pull up codes if you plug it into the obd2, it's not needed just another option
Thank you so much im glad it helped . I called www.crutchfield.com and that was the only one left that I wanted as far as features and the way it looked

@@MoWahidi fuck yeah. I totally agree. Hard, I have a 350Z which the Build NEVER ends, then my '07 Limited Sequoia which I'm starting and my '98 Toyota RAV4 which is my daily and something breaks every now and then since is 23 years old
I know the feeling man I have a 240sx s14 and I spent a lot of years building it and still needs more stuff I will have stuff on the channel for it soon
I'm using factory amp and factory JBL speakers, so I did not touch them at all and all the wiring I have done is on the head unit and all plug in the factory harness, so I'm confused on what you are asking. if you are trying to change the factory amp this is not the video for you

Do I need to keep the stock amplifier harness and wiring unit
I kept the factory amp stuff all I did what change and headunit

would the crimp tool work just as well as soldering? all the tutorials i’ve seen use a solder but i’m thinking about using a crimp tool
you can i but solder keeps every thing a little smaller
Does your power antenna still go up and down when you turn the radio on? Or is it when the unit itself turn on now?
mine is 2007 i dont have the power antenna
Does the HPF and LPF on the Kenwood unit work with the JBL amps or do those features on work they the head units RCA outputs?
Also on your setup how can you add a subwoofer amp?
im not sure how to add and subwoofer to be honest the factory speakers are loud enough for me lol

Do you need the steering wheel controls for raidio to work?
not really but i like my controls
The black plastic trim pieces on the side, are they made by metra and did you have to modify them?
yes they are made by Metra and i don't remember if i modified them i think they fit and bolt to the side of the radio
@@MoWahidi i had to cut mine down and got them to fit! Thanks for the video!
@@kylefishing21 anytime man got more coming!
So the harness u used to use factory amp was the one that came with the interface?
yes it was all plug and play

The OEM dvd unit? What happens to the DVD player after you installed this head unit? Does it still work?
I have cd stuck in my dvd play so I don't know if it works with new headunit it worked before
@@ivanf4568 unfortunately from reading on the website it does say that you'll lose that feature, which is the factory video entertainment

yes its holding up pretty well and yes spotify works as well
Also I have the same exact interface kit and it shows the dip switch pattern is 1,2, and 3 on for Pioneer and 1 and 2 on for kenwwod.

Where did u connect the 2 wires for steering wheel control that are attached to the 3mm male port?
they should only connect to each other. it really depends on what unit you have they should show them in the instructions
What year sequoia did you instal this in ??
it is a 2007 limited with jbl system
Any plans to add a camera?
maybe later on!
Any problem with the power antenna?
no I have had no issues so far!
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been freaking out trying to figure out what I needed to swap out my factory head unit. Question-Was that PAC thing plug and play? Did you have to do anything to get it working?

yes but im not using one
So does it sound way better?
way better i love it
@@MoWahidi stock speakers? Did you repair foam rings?
@@undercrownhiphop9422 I repaired the foam rings its much cheaper and easier for me I have a video on the foam ring
What year and model is your truck
2007
Would I follow the same situation with my Highlander? It has the jbl system
I am not really sure but I would call www.crutchfield.com they can give you better advice for the Highlander.
Will the steering wheel interface work on 2006 Tundra limited with JBL?
its should work but just to make sure i would call www.crutchfield.com to make sure that you get the right parts

I personally don't have any problems with it. but I did want to get the pioneer 1500nex. that was my first choice but the Kenwood was my second.
I bought the wiring harness that fits my Toyota Sequoia but it doesn’t fit the connector that’s in the car
where did you get yours from and what year make? this is made for sequoias with the JBL system and it has different connecter to fit
We have an 01 Tundra and it will not connect to the connector that is in the truck. It is a female w/16 slots
Hahah awesome video Mo! Only thing is the website says the head unit is now discontinued🥲
yes it seems they discontinued this model but they should have one that is similar
Thanks for the walkthrough Mo, did you ever remember why the white wire needs to be connected to the OBD2 port? Also do you just unplug it when you need to run codes?
no I haven't figured it out but I will try to find the instructions again. and yes if you want to run codes just unplug it and plug the code reader
From what I gathered, there should be an interface on the head unit you use to pull up codes if you plug it into the obd2, it's not needed just another option
