Awesome video thank you for sharing! On the Amazon link you posted for the head unit ppl in the Q&A section are saying the Air Cond controls don't work on vehicles where you need the screen to control it Just noticed how much content you have on the land cruiser. Definitely subscribing for more
Thanks! So that is correct. For the 1998-2002 Land Cruiser or LX470 the air cond controls are still operated on the factory climate unit. This head unit does not replace the air cond controls. Hope this helps!
I'm thinking of upgrading. Fortunately if you have LC or LX without climate control built in, most any head unit for double din will work and you can look for one's with car play or android auto!
So you dont actually need to line up wiring to the ports. You just need to match up the same color wires and cap them off like im the video! Which pieces are you referring to?
Ok I see your harness link. And I see the bezel on Amazon, where do i get the head unit? , and does that harness come ready to plug in like you have ? Or did you do a bunch of splicing. All the options for head units are overwhelming
Hey Greg - thanks so much for sharing this. I have 2001 JT100 I drive in Honduras and really would like to add CarPlay, so this really helps! One question: the parking brake gizmo: maybe you can PM me about that ?
Hey I have an 01 LX and used this same harness but after getting everything wired and plugged in I was getting no audio from the aftermarket head unit. Tried on another aftermarket head unit and same issue but the factory head unit works just fine. Just wondering if you ran into similar problems
@@cruisinwithgreg yep getting power to the head unit just no audio. I was wondering if id have to just wire the l/r audio to the amp from the head unit but then I saw your video so im hoping I dont have to.
@Fleighto Hey, I have a 2000 LX470, and am thinking of doing this upgrade...Did you ever solve the "no audio" issue on yours?...Thought I would check before I go ahead and buy this harness...Thanks!
Hey! I decided to start with replacing the head unit and the sound was so much better I did not see the immediate need to bypass the amp. Maybe sometime in the future!
That's good to hear. I actually started doing the exact same thing yesterday but somehow lost power "constant 12v" to the factory harness. Now the neither aftermarket or factory radio powers on. I am under the impression that the power is delivered to harness from amp. So either the amp crapped out exactly while Im doing this or a fuse is blown somewhere. Its good to see you got yours to work exactly how I wired it too
@daddyk5023 hmmm. Yeah i would check the two fuses for the audio. The one in the engine bay labeled (20A Radio) and the one by the drivers foot behind that plastic triangle piece. That one is (15A Cigar).
Hey! So mine is a 2001! The procedures for removal and access are the same for 1998-2002, but the specific harness on the link is for 2000-2004 Toyota.
99 Nakamichi head-unit wire connector is way different than the one you have, its a 22 pin connector.

@@cruisinwithgregok. I understand now. What year is this model in the video?
@@AimForTheBushes908 mine is a 2001
Where can we get the head unit? What are the newer versions that has apple play and android and back up camera?!

Man that is sweet, can you do a step by step with the wiring… how do you line up ea h wire to the right port? And how do you put each piece together?
So you dont actually need to line up wiring to the ports. You just need to match up the same color wires and cap them off like im the video! Which pieces are you referring to?
You said your system was put in two years ago. Can you recommend any that I can put in today?

a.co/d/fxiEIGr is the link for the head unit. No splicing required. Just use that harness and plug in like in the video!
@@cruisinwithgreg thank you!
Hey Greg...Awesome video...I have a 2000 Lexus LX470 with the stock Nakamichi head-unit...Would this harness work on my rig?...Thanks!
Did you put a Land Cruiser gauge cluster in your LX?
Actually the opposite! I put LX470 trim pieces in my Land Cruiser.

One question: the parking brake gizmo: maybe you can PM me about that ?
Hey the parking brake gizmo I found on Amazon.
@@cruisinwithgreghmmm … hint what to search for. I tried parking brake sensor bypass etc ☹️
Great video. But wiring nuts? I know they work, but crimping or soldering is better for an application where vibration is at play.
Very true! I should go back in and fix that!
Hey I have an 01 LX and used this same harness but after getting everything wired and plugged in I was getting no audio from the aftermarket head unit. Tried on another aftermarket head unit and same issue but the factory head unit works just fine. Just wondering if you ran into similar problems
Also did you re pin the harness adapter at all?
Hey! Sorry to hear what happened on yours! I did not have to repin. Were you getting power to the new head units? Just no audio?

wheres the bezel from?
I found it on ebay! I searched LX470 radio bezel.
you didn't bypass the amp? are you getting interference noises at any level?

What year is your LX? Harness says for 2000 and up but not 98 or 99?

1999 LX470 uses a 22 pin connector. Just installed an aftermarket head unit. Had to splice into the factory harness.
@@mshawnlaneSo the harness used in this video definitely wouldn't work for my 2000 LX470, with stock Nakamochi radio?
