I know this thread is old but I have completed the retrofit too, with some differences, as well as getting the backup camera to work. Thanks to the OP for this thread and the detailed info. Hope this helps anyone looking to do the same! I’ll post updates as they come along, but with a new baby, it’s a little tough to find the extra time Currently looking to desoldering techniques.ģ) Painting or replacing the silver plastic in the rest of the 4Runner to match the black. When I tried to search for them online, they appear to be less than 1mm wide total. I took apart my old radio, these suckers are small. While in here, I plan to do the rearview on demand hack.Ģ) Replace the LEDs with color matching ones, either new or from my old head unit. There are write ups to access the wires, etc. Admittedly, I don’t need this since my mirror provides the backup camera, but I want to see this work. I need to purchase some wire and make the runs. You’ll need this for verification/activation.ġ) The backup camera is going to be a bit of a hack, but I know it’ll work out fine since the wiring diagrams have the wires labeled, and the harness seems to have all the connections I’d ever need for it. In order to activate the premium apps, search for a 4Runner online for sale or whatever with premium Entune and grab the VIN. #Etunes toyota 4runner upgrade 2017 Bluetooth#From what I can tell, nav, apps, HD radio, Bluetooth (phone and audio), and the steering wheel controls also work. The GPS signal picked up within a couple mins and works perfectly!Įverything is straight plug and play (except the backup camera). I literally just made sure it was right side up and placed it in there. To place the GPS antenna, remove the clock in the dash (two screws, very obvious), it’ll expose the area where the stock GPS antenna would go (between the vents). FYI, the radio connectors (nav, sat and AM/FM)… (maybe this was obvious to some, but definitely not me) for the record, they’re all female SMB connections. I spent a ton of time researching GPS antennas and connectors and finally decided to try the one in the link above and it fits perfectly! Trust me, there’s no falling out with this thing, it’s on there. I even tried to search for just the connector on the Toyota parts site, but I don’t think Toyota sells it. Obviously spending $200 - $300 on a factory antenna was not going to cut it, however, there isn’t one on the market with that connector plug. I think the GPS antenna was the biggest “leap of faith” on this project. Below is a photo that gives a high level understanding.Īfter studying a wiring diagram, I could verify what parts to look for. The thing that was throwing me for biggest loop was understanding what each plug on the back of the Entune was for. Listed for reference, but I didn’t buy this part since I don’t use sat radio.

I’ve spent hours researching connectors, wiring diagrams, photos, compatible parts etc. Wiring diagrams (can’t remember the thread I pulled this from, but thank you!) A hat tip to these posts that got me most of the way there. I really like the factory look and wanted something that would integrate well. I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a long time but kept holding back because I either didn’t have the info I needed, or I couldn’t find the right deal on an Entune. My setup is a 2010 SR5 with the basic stereo head unit. Instead of hijacking another thread, I decided to start my own write up. I have searched the forums and found some good information but found myself with a lot of questions that needed to be answered. So I have finally (mostly) completed this swap.
