06 Sienna Fits radio harnesses

Installed on my 2006 Sienna, works as advertised. All the controls on the steering wheel work like nothing has changed, so it's cool. I recommend!

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • disappears

HEADSUP is NOT a JBL version. SWRTY-61J is the JBL version

Product is ok. It's just that the list and manual need to be updated to talk about non-JBL stereos. The package really says it. The Crux SWRTY-61J is the JBL version you're looking for.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Very expensive

Works very well in 07 Camry

Functionality I have no complaints using it with my Pioneer AVH X2700BS. I wish I knew it was the wire harness and SWC mount, so I didn't buy the wire harness too, just spent $3 on it, so no big deal.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Works great in our 06 4Runner Sport

Put this in my wife's 06 4Runner Sport and it works great. The only thing that should also be included is a 3.5mm male to male RCA adapter. into the wiring harness and then to the aftermarket head unit to retain the factory AUX input.

Pros
  • yearly review
Cons
  • -

Strange issue with Sirius/XM

I used this steering wheel controller on my 2009 Tacoma so I could keep the steering wheel controller with my new Pioneer AVH-X491BHS head unit. Revolution. It works correctly most of the time, the only problem I've found is that when I try to change the Sirius/XM channels on the steering wheel, it reverts to the first position instead of going to the next channel as expected.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Wrong Wiring Harness in Car Electronics Accessory

The included wiring harness does not match the factory 2011 FJ Cruiser stereo wiring harness. Since the spec says it will fit 2007-2011 Toyota FJ I didn't bother to test first before connecting and soldering all the wires. Excitement turned into disappointment. Lesson Learned but always check whether it fits. Do not believe the description and installation video.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Almost Never

Worked on my 2008 toyota 4runner sr5

This worked great on my 2008 toyota 4runner sr5 with basic audio with steering wheel controls. I installed a Pioneer Dual Head Unit. The instructions are great and set up is easy once you know what you are doing. Don't forget to match the main unit cable color scheme to the main schemes. As a rule, the color of the wires is not the same for different manufacturers.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Fits

Easier to install than ASWC-1 meter and above.

Easier to install than Metra ASWC-1 and much less bulky. The gauge requires 2 harnesses + ASWC-1. Be careful when installing a Sony deck. The code you get in the instructions is wrong. Genuine Sony code: 1-off. 2-incl. 3-incl. Luckily I found the right code from a YouTube video, otherwise I'd have to rip out the whole line again. Installed on an '08 4Runner requiring center console liners and most dashboards to get to the radio.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • not sure

It did the job but with a lot of effort

I ordered this specifically to keep the controls on my steering wheel when I was installing a new stereo in my old car. It was for my car but my stereo was made overseas and didn't have the 3.5mm input jack required for this harness. I contacted the company to try a workaround. And contacted her again. And again. These attempts have been made using their website and contact information with instructions stating that for faster service you should use this website to contact us. Do not go. I…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Frequency
