great work...just did this with my nephew...2005 with navigation...Crutchfield has kit to retain amp and steering controls...Called a PAC unit...installed between new head unit and car harness....called few times for support just to make sure.....works perfectly....this video let me know it was doeable...crutchfield helped us execute to make sure it was done properly....
Thanks for the video, just finished my job. Your video was awesome, but it was tougher for a person that doesn't do this often than the video might imply.....A couple of points for someone getting ready to start this.... getting the 12v "cigarette adapter" out of the center console was one of the toughest jobs (ugh)....make sure to leave yourself enough slack up front when running your harness to the trunk.... when using the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Module there is a chance that the wiring is reversed to what the video and Axxess says on their website (mine worked fine after reversing them)..... the plastic brackets with the 95-8215S dash kit didn't line up perfectly on my 2007 Avalon Touring, had to break off the little plastic alignment pins that should locate the brackets on the side of the radio and wing it to get the unit aligned properly in the dash.... if you're using a backup camera and this Pioneer unit, be sure the plug the yellow camera "video output" into the brown BC input....to keep from scratching the vinyl areas around the dash while working on the install use some blue painter's tape to protect it and take it off right before final installation. Took me about 8 hours total and about a half pint of blood from skinned knuckles, but it looks nice now! Good luck.
do you retain FM AM radio with this install? for some reason crutchfield is saying i will lose "satellite radio". is that referring to sirius XM or my FM AM
This was amazing--You are a real pro! Wish I had that ability and know-how. Your presentation, explanations, and step-by-step was so well done! Thanks.
Great video, I installed a backup camera on my Avalon, there's a better way to plum the wires, remove the rear door sill you'll have access to the trunk by the shoulder area, that will bring the wires directly to where you hid the original stereo, so you don't have to run the wires on the trunk floor
What a fantastic video. Very detailed and thorough. I wish he’d gone into more detail about the wiring process and shown how he built the harnesses for the touchscreen radio. I have an Avalon 08, and I want to install one myself, but what confuses me the most is the wiring. 😓

That was more difficult than I expected. I wish I could had a video on how to remove it, but I finally got it.

In your video, the compartment below had a tape deck, my car has controls for the Navigation system. Is there any difference in the install? I imagine I'll use the Nav from Car Play, so does that compartment become useless? Did your tape deck continue to work?
I'm preparing to do same install, and have cassette deck. Check out post #'s 32-34 in this discussion of replacing cassette with storage pocket, and pretty sure same would work to replace nav controls: www.toyotanation.com/threads/replace-cassette.243792/page-2
Hey Chris, Great video on the install! I have a 2008 Avalon Limited w/JBL SYS. If buy the PAC RP4.2-TY11 wiring interface kit, do I still need the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Module & Metra 70-8215 Wiring Harness Adapter Kit & will I still need to relocate the factor stereo, as per your video for the 2006-Avalon? Also, is the 6.2" the widest screen I can put in my 2008-Avalon? Your feedback would be appreciated! Thx, Justo
@@ProvoBeastAudio Understood...I will be returning the additional items that I will no longer need for my install. I went with Pioneer AVH-X4800BS 7" Display, can't wait to install the new radio & rear view camera. Thx again Chris!
I have a 2005 Avalon with JBL & Navigation and has a microphone near interior dome light to run the Nav by voice. Can I use that mic to talk on phone if I install a carplay radio? Also want to keep stock amp - what harness do I need for that.? And finally, the radio in video has been discontinued - what other would you recommend?
Hey I have a push start limited edition will I still be able to do this? Also I wanted to kno if u made a video on installing the back up camera many people have not tried it on this make and model please get back to me ASAP
I like your video and appreciated the time you spent recording it however you didn't die where to mount the black side brackets and the location that you had them mounted, they looked 180 degrees rotated. Then alignment pin on the Metra 95-8215S kit didn't allow any screw holes to line up. The Pioneer instructions say to use the factory brackets but the radio sits a little too low and too far back. Any ideas?? Thanks! HJS
Thanks so much for the video...I see it's 4 years old...hope things are well with you after the last few years...question..I have I believe the same avalon..mine..2010 xls..without the jbl sound...can't get xm on the radio..and no blue tooth..so I'd like to do what you did..are those parts still available?.thanks again
Great video, thanks... just finished the install on my 2007 Avalon limited with the JBL Amp.. the correct Metra relocation cable has the connector and wiring pre-installed in the relocation harness... All I had to do was plug in the ASWC-1 module, and I now have full steering wheel controls!!! Hope this helps someone.....
Help lol I need to know if I only need the Pac radio replacement to use or so I still gotta use the aswc-1module or any of those cables he used in this video?!!!
I have aligned all of the cables and I have an extra solid blue wire coming off the long harness with no s9lid blue anywhere to attach it to - and I also have an orange black cable coming off one of the short harnesses with no matching cable. Are these supposed to attach to a different color cable?
@@ProvoBeastAudio Hi I was wondering if you can do a write up of the install maybe with pictures? I couldn't figure out which wires you wired the microbypass wire to. And I couldn't figure out how you wired the AXXIS steering wheel control module. Thanks in advance.
Where are you located? I need one installed on my 09 Avalon. I have a double din I pulled out of my expedition just need all the wiring items you have and the dash kit.
I'll have to watch it a few more times to build confidence to do it. I may get confused with connecting the wires. I have an android phone. Does pioneer have an android version of this unit?
Shaka Harrison - no I don’t. I have the JBL speakers too - and all I. Know is they sound way better with this new Pioneer than they ever did with the factory radio.
I have .a 2006 Avalon. If I want to use the navigation screen for a backup camera, can I cut a video cord and connect it to the black and yellow wire in the video?
Can I install an amp and subs on my Avalon 06 without complications? Don’t want to mess nothing up, since Avalon is a bit complicated when it comes to moving something on the original radio , not putting in a new radio, just an amp and some subs
Great video thank you for your time.and effort. I will be going with the way of maestro. My question I have is I want to keep the factory speakers. How many of the 12 speakers will work with the aftermarket radio? Thanks again.
Well, if you have the JBL system, the factory amp will retain all speakers. Generally speaking, if you have the factory JBL amplifier, you will need to Use the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface.
Provo Beast Audio Installation I have a 2005 Toyota Avalon with the JBL system. I was thinking about changing to aftermarket radio and was wondering if you can do a short video on how to wire to the pac 4.2-ty11. Thanks again
Unfortunately this wasn't a personal vehicle but essentially you wire it color for color to your new radio. You can either soldier and use heat shrink, or use butt connectors.
I bought the same harness but my factory harnesses don’t match up to the one harness I have all the power/speakers hooked up. New radio works and power to the exiting however I don’t have anything on my temp screen bc of the harness not matching up. It is the third harness that doesn’t have the speaker leads or power leads
@@ranyg6494 I have a 2008 Avalon, I ended up going to best buy with the factory radio, and the tech took it apart and wired the motherboard into the harness, it cast me 100.00, everything works like factory-installed
I have a 2006 Avalon with JBL synthesis. I believe I just need the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface. This should replace both the Metra 70-8215 Wiring Harness Adapter AND Axxess ASWC-1 that is used in non JBL systems... or am I missing something? Thanks!
Had to take it to a pro shop to get it finally wired correctly. The shop tech said nobody can wire this up with this video. I did save several hundred by running the cables and mounting the original radio, etc, but the actual wiring it ALL up is MISSING.
Hey great video! I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon XLS and I want to put in new speakers and 2 12inch subs in the back do I need to do all this or can I just use my stock head unit? I would love to replace the head unit but it looks like so much work to retain ac control if I replace it I'm afraid I wont do it right lol. I appreciate anyone's help out there
So i know you dont need to relocate the jbl system but if i want to keep the navigation i feel like ill have to anyways. does the relocation kit work for jbl systems or is there any alternative you think?
I have a 2007 Avalon Limited with nav and subwoofer. It has an additional 6+6 pin harness that plugs into the back of the factory headunit. I removed the factory 6+6 pin harness in order to plug in an eBay bluetooth adapter to the back of the headunit. With the bluetooth adapter installed, I press the "Disc" button, the display reads "Aux" and the bluetooth audio is routed to the door speakers, but audio is no longer being routed to the factory sub. The sub is still powered. If the bluetooth is connected and the music is paused and I turn the volume way up, a faint hum in the subwoofer gets louder, but otherwise no actual audio signal is being routed to the sub when music is playing. Same with FM or any other input, no audio is being routed to the sub under any circumstance with the factory 6+6 harness disconnected. I bought a 6+6 pin Y-adapter cable, so that I could simultaneously plug the factory 6+6 harness and the 6+6 bluetooth adapter into the back of the headunit via the Y cable... this made no difference. It still works as if I only have the bluetooth adapter plugged in. The only way to restore audio to the subwoofer is to remove the bluetooth adapter and plug the 6+6 factory harness directly back into the headunit. Then the sub works again, and obviously bluetooth is gone. Is there a way to have my bluetooth/aux input and factory subwoofer work at the same time?
Great video have been looking for a video like this for my Avalon. I plan to swap out to a double din with backup camera. I seen you mentioned videos about installing backup camera on Avalon? Also if you can do a video on how to switch out the speakers that would be great. Thanks again for the videos
Sounds like you may have the JBL sound system if you have no audio. Please see the parts list in the description to determine if you have the correct install parts for your trim level.
My display screen is not working on my Toyota Avalon 20007 Xl after installing the after market Sony stereo do I have to get a different harness to make it work
do you retain FM AM radio with this install? for some reason crutchfield is saying i will lose "satellite radio". is that referring to sirius XM or my FM AM
I have an issue I have an extra orange illuminator line coming from the aftermarket touchscreen radio I ordered, and a dimmer line avail on the other end
Ive seen a video that someone installed called this:Toyota Avalon Master AVCLAN LCD Module and everything works fine without relocating the radio at all. Thoughts?
Thank you for this video, it is very informative. I am sorry that I might be asking the same question that you may have already answered. Please bear with me, I am very novice with car audio. I have a 2007 with JBL (WITHOUT NAVIGATION). I am looking at the AVH-2440NEX and I would like to retain the upper display with climate/fuel/etc. Is there any difference in the JBL radio compared to the standard radio in which the old head unit can be discarded or will I still need to mount it to retain the data on the upper screen for climate/fuel/etc.? Thank you again!
Use the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface if you have the factory JBL Sound System. According to Pac, you shouldn't have a need to relocate your factory radio to the trunk with that wiring adapter.
Sonys usually can just be grounded, no bypass needed. Pioneer's require a double or triple pulse negative to work which is why these bypasses are nice.
Provo Beast Audio Installation ok thank you I got an issue now so do I need a next part of do I have to do some rewiring because after Sony screen was install everything works I have the factory radio in the trunk now the display screen at the top not displaying anything what would be the reason for that do I need a different part to put into one of the harness or it just need some rewiring to the factory radio to the steering wheel controls
You need the the pac rp4.2 ty11. It will retain the center console display and also retain the steering wheel controls. You need to one or two connectors (if I remember correctly) of the pac to the Avalon's harness. You don't need relocate the factory radio thanks to the pac.
I installed aftermarket radio In my 2006 Avalon. I have the JBL amplified system so went with the PACRP4.2-TY11. The only problem I have noticed is the the FM reception is not as good as it was with the factory radio, I would say 30% less. I only used the bigger antenna plug and let the small one unhooked. I have read that there maybe a antenna preamp that needs power? Any ideas thanks
The harness adapter may have a solid blue wire on it, ensure that is connected. As an alternative, you can purchase an Antenna Amplifier and wire that in too which may help.
I used the RP4.2-TY11 and with a JVC KW-V840BT. I lost the HVAC and Stereo Display. Any idea why? I'd hate to to relocate the radio to the trunk. That was the whole point of buying the PAC. Any advice is appreciated.
can you tell me why my rear deck rattles a lot when i play music? like from the bass it rattles like i have 2 12” subs in the truck when i don’t lol. can you tell me why it makes so much noise? what do i do
Yes, all worked post installation as normal. If you have the factory JBL system, part requires will change. Check the description of the video for that list.
Question would it be possible to remove the top screen and move it down to where the factor radio was and then put the aftermarket radio on top where the climate control screen place. This way you have the after market on top and climate in the center

In your video, the compartment below had a tape deck, my car has controls for the Navigation system. Is there any difference in the install? I imagine I'll use the Nav from Car Play, so does that compartment become useless? Did your tape deck continue to work?
I'm preparing to do same install, and have cassette deck. Check out post #'s 32-34 in this discussion of replacing cassette with storage pocket, and pretty sure same would work to replace nav controls: www.toyotanation.com/threads/replace-cassette.243792/page-2
Great video wondering does this pioneer have navigation also? And how much would the radio and install cost if o had a local shop do it.
So no other wire harness is need? Just the steering wheel control and the relocation harness?
Hey Chris,
Great video on the install!
I have a 2008 Avalon Limited w/JBL SYS. If buy the PAC RP4.2-TY11 wiring interface kit, do I still need the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Module & Metra 70-8215 Wiring Harness Adapter Kit & will I still need to relocate the factor stereo, as per your video for the 2006-Avalon?
Also, is the 6.2" the widest screen I can put in my 2008-Avalon?
Your feedback would be appreciated!
Thx,
Justo
ASWC-1 isn’t necessary if you have the Pac harness.
Also any standard size double din will fit, regardless of screen size.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Understood...I will be returning the additional items that I will no longer need for my install. I went with Pioneer AVH-X4800BS 7" Display, can't wait to install the new radio & rear view camera.
Thx again Chris!
Do I still need the Micro-Bypass?...I did get a Pioneer Radio?
I have a 2005 Avalon with JBL & Navigation and has a microphone near interior dome light to run the Nav by voice. Can I use that mic to talk on phone if I install a carplay radio? Also want to keep stock amp - what harness do I need for that.? And finally, the radio in video has been discontinued - what other would you recommend?
Thank you great job man
Hey I have a push start limited edition will I still be able to do this? Also I wanted to kno if u made a video on installing the back up camera many people have not tried it on this make and model please get back to me ASAP
I like your video and appreciated the time you spent recording it however you didn't die where to mount the black side brackets and the location that you had them mounted, they looked 180 degrees rotated. Then alignment pin on the Metra 95-8215S kit didn't allow any screw holes to line up. The Pioneer instructions say to use the factory brackets but the radio sits a little too low and too far back. Any ideas?? Thanks! HJS
Great video 👍 question I have 2007 Avalon with a Fujitsu what would be adapter part# I order the one you use but it’s a different connection.
oh thank god for this THANK YOU
Thanks. I have a new mission!!!
Thanks so much for the video...I see it's 4 years old...hope things are well with you after the last few years...question..I have I believe the same avalon..mine..2010 xls..without the jbl sound...can't get xm on the radio..and no blue tooth..so I'd like to do what you did..are those parts still available?.thanks again
The 2011 radio besil and radio are interchangeable with your car. Bluetooth wifi and touchscreen as well as XM.
Great video, thanks... just finished the install on my 2007 Avalon limited with the JBL Amp.. the correct Metra relocation cable has the connector and wiring pre-installed in the relocation harness... All I had to do was plug in the ASWC-1 module, and I now have full steering wheel controls!!! Hope this helps someone.....
Help lol I need to know if I only need the Pac radio replacement to use or so I still gotta use the aswc-1module or any of those cables he used in this video?!!!
What it you have the cassette deck below the radio? Can I just ignore it and unplug it???
Nice video
I have a question I have a 2006 avalon and it's has the navigation system
What type of harness do I need to get
Victor Saucedo check www.crutchfield.com
Their support team may be able to help you with that
I have aligned all of the cables and I have an extra solid blue wire coming off the long harness with no s9lid blue anywhere to attach it to - and I also have an orange black cable coming off one of the short harnesses with no matching cable. Are these supposed to attach to a different color cable?
What if I have the navigation Info screen that comes on the limited model? Will the kit you used work as well or do I need another?
You need another. See the description of the video.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Hi I was wondering if you can do a write up of the install maybe with pictures? I couldn't figure out which wires you wired the microbypass wire to. And I couldn't figure out how you wired the AXXIS steering wheel control module. Thanks in advance.
Where are you located? I need one installed on my 09 Avalon. I have a double din I pulled out of my expedition just need all the wiring items you have and the dash kit.
Sure, we are located in Utah. Everything we used is linked in the description of the video.
I'll have to watch it a few more times to build confidence to do it. I may get confused with connecting the wires. I have an android phone. Does pioneer have an android version of this unit?
Yes there is a Pioneer new model that has both apply car play as well as andriod auto. I think it is the PIONEER AVH-2440NEX
@@martinandersen9810 I have the JBL Synthesis. Do you know what the differences may be?
Shaka Harrison - no I don’t. I have the JBL speakers too - and all I. Know is they sound way better with this new Pioneer than they ever did with the factory radio.
How much did it all cost with all the products to change the radio?
You didn't show us how to connect the bypass wires

I have .a 2006 Avalon. If I want to use the navigation screen for a backup camera, can I cut a video cord and connect it to the black and yellow wire in the video?

Can I install an amp and subs on my Avalon 06 without complications? Don’t want to mess nothing up, since Avalon is a bit complicated when it comes to moving something on the original radio , not putting in a new radio, just an amp and some subs
where did you get the long harness that connects to stock radio in trunk?
Great video thank you for your time.and effort. I will be going with the way of maestro. My question I have is I want to keep the factory speakers. How many of the 12 speakers will work with the aftermarket radio? Thanks again.
Well, if you have the JBL system, the factory amp will retain all speakers. Generally speaking, if you have the factory JBL amplifier, you will need to Use the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface.
Provo Beast Audio Installation I have a 2005 Toyota Avalon with the JBL system. I was thinking about changing to aftermarket radio and was wondering if you can do a short video on how to wire to the pac 4.2-ty11. Thanks again
Unfortunately this wasn't a personal vehicle but essentially you wire it color for color to your new radio. You can either soldier and use heat shrink, or use butt connectors.
I bought the same harness but my factory harnesses don’t match up to the one harness I have all the power/speakers hooked up. New radio works and power to the exiting however I don’t have anything on my temp screen bc of the harness not matching up. It is the third harness that doesn’t have the speaker leads or power leads
My factory radio had 4 plugs. Two bigger and two smaller
Provo: If you use the PAC interface do you still need to relocate the radio or have they solved that issue?
If using the pac interface, nope, no need to relocate the radio!
Used a pac rp4.2-ty11 and it retains swc and the factory radio doesn't need to be relocated.
What about the multifunction display?? Everything working fine??
@@ranyg6494 I have a 2008 Avalon, I ended up going to best buy with the factory radio, and the tech took it apart and wired the motherboard into the harness, it cast me 100.00, everything works like factory-installed
I have a 2006 Avalon with JBL synthesis. I believe I just need the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface. This should replace both the Metra 70-8215 Wiring Harness Adapter AND Axxess ASWC-1 that is used in non JBL systems... or am I missing something? Thanks!
Had to take it to a pro shop to get it finally wired correctly. The shop tech said nobody can wire this up with this video. I did save several hundred by running the cables and mounting the original radio, etc, but the actual wiring it ALL up is MISSING.
Can you add to your description a link to all the tools we need to complete this installation?
Would you still need to relocate for a single din?
If I have jbl audio in mine do I have to put radio in truck still
Hello I got the long wires to relocate the factory radio but do I also need a amplifier interface harness for non jbl systems? Thanks
When would you want to use the PAC RP4.2-TY11? We have the screen above, so must we use the Metra 70-8215?
The pac kit is great when you have the factory JBL audio system. If you don't have JBL, you can use all the parts we did.
What is your take on the kit from spiral audio. They are saying that I don't need the relocation harness
Not sure, i can't see where they claim it retains the old screen...
Hey great video! I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon XLS and I want to put in new speakers and 2 12inch subs in the back do I need to do all this or can I just use my stock head unit? I would love to replace the head unit but it looks like so much work to retain ac control if I replace it I'm afraid I wont do it right lol. I appreciate anyone's help out there
So i know you dont need to relocate the jbl system but if i want to keep the navigation i feel like ill have to anyways. does the relocation kit work for jbl systems or is there any alternative you think?
Notes in the description for JBL systems.
I have a 2007 Avalon Limited with nav and subwoofer. It has an additional 6+6 pin harness that plugs into the back of the factory headunit. I removed the factory 6+6 pin harness in order to plug in an eBay bluetooth adapter to the back of the headunit. With the bluetooth adapter installed, I press the "Disc" button, the display reads "Aux" and the bluetooth audio is routed to the door speakers, but audio is no longer being routed to the factory sub. The sub is still powered. If the bluetooth is connected and the music is paused and I turn the volume way up, a faint hum in the subwoofer gets louder, but otherwise no actual audio signal is being routed to the sub when music is playing. Same with FM or any other input, no audio is being routed to the sub under any circumstance with the factory 6+6 harness disconnected.
I bought a 6+6 pin Y-adapter cable, so that I could simultaneously plug the factory 6+6 harness and the 6+6 bluetooth adapter into the back of the headunit via the Y cable... this made no difference. It still works as if I only have the bluetooth adapter plugged in. The only way to restore audio to the subwoofer is to remove the bluetooth adapter and plug the 6+6 factory harness directly back into the headunit. Then the sub works again, and obviously bluetooth is gone.
Is there a way to have my bluetooth/aux input and factory subwoofer work at the same time?
You have to get a module .you have a premium sound system which includes 10 speakers total . Your aux may only rate 4 outlets hence 4 speakers.
Whats the difference if you have the jbl system?
Great video have been looking for a video like this for my Avalon. I plan to swap out to a double din with backup camera. I seen you mentioned videos about installing backup camera on Avalon? Also if you can do a video on how to switch out the speakers that would be great. Thanks again for the videos
Yep, we will have videos on all of that, just finding time to get them edited and uploaded!
Front door speaker video just uploaded to the channel. Rears coming soon!
When will you be posting the back up camera video? Really looking forward to it, thanks in advance!
I bought an avalon that doesn't have the factory radio in it. How can I do this?
I'm having trouble with the steering wheel controls and getting sound from the new radio where did you hook in the factory speaker wire
Sounds like you may have the JBL sound system if you have no audio. Please see the parts list in the description to determine if you have the correct install parts for your trim level.
What if the stock stereo is shot? Do i have to order a stock replacement just to run it to the trunk?
Hello, what website did you use to purchase the materials listed on your description?
Sonicelectronix
My display screen is not working on my Toyota Avalon 20007 Xl after installing the after market Sony stereo do I have to get a different harness to make it work
do you retain FM AM radio with this install? for some reason crutchfield is saying i will lose "satellite radio". is that referring to sirius XM or my FM AM
XM
@@ProvoBeastAudio so you retained your FM AM right?
Do you have a tutorial on wiring the PAC module?

Ive seen a video that someone installed called this:Toyota Avalon Master AVCLAN LCD Module and everything works fine without relocating the radio at all. Thoughts?
The pac module does the same as well.

Thank you for this video, it is very informative. I am sorry that I might be asking the same question that you may have already answered. Please bear with me, I am very novice with car audio.
I have a 2007 with JBL (WITHOUT NAVIGATION). I am looking at the AVH-2440NEX and I would like to retain the upper display with climate/fuel/etc. Is there any difference in the JBL radio compared to the standard radio in which the old head unit can be discarded or will I still need to mount it to retain the data on the upper screen for climate/fuel/etc.?
Thank you again!
Use the PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface if you have the factory JBL Sound System. According to Pac, you shouldn't have a need to relocate your factory radio to the trunk with that wiring adapter.
Thank you!
Hi, great video. But there's no link for the backup cam install. Please help
ruclips.net/video/EzWUQXIGXrk/видео.html
Why not just swap out a 2005- whatever radio besil, with a 2011 radio besil? They are interchangeable...
Where did you get the plastic piece to make the panel a square?
Sonic Electronix, Amazon, Crutchfield, ebay, etc. Just about anywhere online.
Can you please explain to me the difference between using the metra 70-8215 and the PAC RP4.2-ty11
So if I'm installing ASWC-1 with pioneer double din my steering wheel control should work?
The microbypass that you use for this install on the Pioneer could the same one be used for the Sony XAVAX1000 6.2 also ?
Sonys usually can just be grounded, no bypass needed. Pioneer's require a double or triple pulse negative to work which is why these bypasses are nice.
Provo Beast Audio Installation ok thank you I got an issue now so do I need a next part of do I have to do some rewiring because after Sony screen was install everything works I have the factory radio in the trunk now the display screen at the top not displaying anything what would be the reason for that do I need a different part to put into one of the harness or it just need some rewiring to the factory radio to the steering wheel controls
What was the brand and type of back up camera used on the avalon?
That's nice work 💯💯💯💯💯
So if I have a JBL sound system, would I need a wiring harness to retain the center console display ? And not have to relocate my radio?
You need the the pac rp4.2 ty11. It will retain the center console display and also retain the steering wheel controls. You need to one or two connectors (if I remember correctly) of the pac to the Avalon's harness. You don't need relocate the factory radio thanks to the pac.
You got it. We linked everything in the description for ya.
I installed aftermarket radio In my 2006 Avalon. I have the JBL amplified system so went with the PACRP4.2-TY11. The only problem I have noticed is the the FM reception is not as good as it was with the factory radio, I would say 30% less. I only used the bigger antenna plug and let the small one unhooked. I have read that there maybe a antenna preamp that needs power? Any ideas thanks
The harness adapter may have a solid blue wire on it, ensure that is connected. As an alternative, you can purchase an Antenna Amplifier and wire that in too which may help.
I used the RP4.2-TY11 and with a JVC KW-V840BT. I lost the HVAC and Stereo Display. Any idea why? I'd hate to to relocate the radio to the trunk. That was the whole point of buying the PAC. Any advice is appreciated.
I'd reach out to PAC as they claimed it would retain the Informant Display.
can you tell me why my rear deck rattles a lot when i play music? like from the bass it rattles like i have 2 12” subs in the truck when i don’t lol. can you tell me why it makes so much noise? what do i do
How much is this exact install?
Do the steering wheel temp controls work afterwards? Also, do I need to do anything different since I have a limited model with a factory amp?
Yes, all worked post installation as normal. If you have the factory JBL system, part requires will change. Check the description of the video for that list.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Awesome. Thanks for the reply!
Question would it be possible to remove the top screen and move it down to where the factor radio was and then put the aftermarket radio on top where the climate control screen place. This way you have the after market on top and climate in the center
you could, but would require some fabrication, modification of the dash, and wiring. I don't recommend it.
@@ProvoBeastAudio oh so I can ruining my dash that way? Sorry total noob when it comes to things like this
