Easy installation and compact form factor.

Installed on a 2005 Totota 4Runner Sport with JBL Synthesis stereo. Connected easily, does exactly what it's supposed to. Wiring was easy and I used waterproof solder joints. I kept the controls on the steering wheel and thanks to the Pioneer HU the sound is fantastic.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Doubtful

SVK did not work. best auto electronics accessory

First of all I'm a techie by trade and make a living from it so fitting something like this is no problem. My issue with this item is that the SWC, steering wheel control, hold didn't work. I ended up having to use the PAC SWI-CP2. This item worked perfectly unlike this one. Waste of money and especially my time.

Pros
  • very impressive
Cons
  • not the best

No front to back fade control, no longer works.

The description does not state that front-to-back damping control does not work on this unit. We had to find out by reading the fine print of the instructions. Fade control in a minivan is very important. Worked well for the first week after a few uses and then suddenly stopped. No sound and no steering wheel controls. Return for replacement.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Works as advertised.

Installed on my 2005 Toyota Sequoia Limited with JBL system. I replaced the head unit with a Pioneer but wanted to keep the steering wheel controls and use the factory amps. Everything works as advertised. Strange that there is no fader function (from front to back). I guess it's not a feature I usually play around with, so it doesn't matter. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Guard

Read well before you buy for radio wiring harness

Excellent quality product, the only reason for the low rating is that it doesn't fit my car. . This wiring harness does not have rear speaker connectors. So you have no rear speakers. For some reason it is written that there is a control on the steering wheel. Mine didn't work. It fits the latest 4runner model. I have a limited edition 2003 Toyota 4Runner v8.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are cons

Excellent product, instructions need updating

Excellent product. The only thing I would wish for in this offering would be the ability to use the rear speakers. Instructions are dated for use with newer head units. I had trouble connecting to the steering wheel control module and found I didn't have to do that part. I have to say that Judd and the team are very very informative and have responded to numerous messages and emails and made additional inquiries even outside of business hours.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Works great for my Tundra 07 with JBL!

I bought this interface to upgrade my head unit in my tundra. I wanted to keep all of the factory controls on the steering wheel, as well as the location of the stock amp and subwoofer. This unit integrated my Pioneer touchscreen perfectly! Installation was easy and my only downside would be the loss of fade control. I have two Tundra, 05 and 07. I am planning to order another unit for my 05. Without this unit I would need a separate unit for the SWC, amp and main unit. Road to the CRUX!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No

Fits inaccurately on some components

So the item is not 100 percent accurate. I bought this for my 2006 Toyota Sienna and had 2 problems. The connector of the 1st reversing camera from the vehicle and from this kit do not match. The connectors didn't match and it was too difficult to return the kit, so instead we had to find a diagram online from another company to get the camera working without a connector. The second problem is that the radio seems to control the trunk. When you use the remote control, you can open and close the

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Vulgarity
