Overall I like this unit more than the OEM head unit that it replaced.
I'm selling this guy because I upgraded to an Android unit.

I originally purchased it on eBay in July 2014. It took me a while to figure out how to get it all hooked up right.
I used from September of 2014 to March 2016.

​

This is a bargain at $100.

You pay shipping. Or, local pickup, or mod-party meetup?

 

There's a little SSD card behind the "GPS Card USB" hatch on the lower left. I've never messed around with it. I'm not sure how to updated it or what the capabilities are.

 

I put the box on the bathroom scale. The weight is just under 8lbs.
According to USPS shipping calculator ...


PayPal is OK.

 

You need an adapter for the factory USB. You also need an adapter to connect the square antenna plug into the round hole. And you need to get creative with the steering wheel controls & the backup sensor. But it's not too tough.

 

No Wi-Fi.
Yes, still for sale.

 

The Navigation app only nags about the speed limit when it's active.


If you're model year is 2012 to 2015, you need a Toyota antenna adapter that looks like this.

(Search B00ACD9RFO on Amazon for an example.)

You will need a Toyota USB adapter for the USB port in the center console that looks like this:

(Search B00QF01H2E on Amazon for example.)

For the steering wheel controls, my solution looks like this:


This is wired according to this diagram:

(Note that SWG=Steering Wheel Ground, SW2=Steering Wheel 2, SW1=Steering Wheel 1)


The RCA plug from the OEM reverse camera just plugs right in. You will also need to stick the stereo reverse signal wire into slot #2 in the above connector.

And that's it!

 

Good to know --thx1

 

It's fire sale time! Someone take this off my hands, or else.

 

It's not as good as an Android unit. But it's way better than the vanilla OEM stereo.

You know how capitalism works -- It's only worth as much as what the market will bear.

 

This hardware has shipped under a few different brand names. Pumpkin is the first that comes to mind. It looks exactly like same hardware as my newer Android unit.
