How To Install Stereo in FJ Cruiser | FJ Cruiser Stereo Upgrade & Install Guide

[@millhouse5505]

The screen on my FJ radio shat itself last week, so I bought the Kenwood to replace. This video was perfect for a quick install - easy to follow and the new unit went in easy. I didn't have your re-pinned adapter for the speed sensor wire (which I discovered is absolutely required to use Apple CarPlay), so just soldered it into the car-side of the harness. We love the extra functionality, connectivity (particularly the Apple features), screen size and resolution of the new head unit!

it's really strange to see an FJ with steering on the right Great tutorial thanks for posting mate

[@broken_font1881]

Now all that's left is to see an FJ with steering wheels on both sides ( 0-0)

[@Niloc1922]

Agreed! It's like it was flipped upside down!

Man, I would love that original fj radio! Just bought my car and has the Fjammer, would like the oem with screen and gps!

[@7aMoODaiZER]

Does it works with the factory amplifier ?

[@paulgriffin8566]

Many thanks for a great video. It definitely goes onto the list of FJ accessories I will be buying.

[@dwaynetherockjohnson6538]

Did you ever get it yet?

[@andersonquinton4967]

i realize Im pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new movies online?

[@tophatvideosinc.5858]

what is that oem radio model/part number? newer than 2014?

[@mjr8748]

Can you use the oem microphone that has a steering wheel control with that radio?

[@AmericanPatriot1778]

Should there any power on any of the wire coming from the SWC? Thanks and good video.

[@srathalage2473]

Could you please make a video how to install a stereo in Toyota Premio car? Thank you.

[@1k9trainer]

Can you adapt the stock reverse camera to display on the new unit?

[@daniellacruz5666]

Hi, did you do it ?

[@brutusthepug1012]

This is so helpful. Now to decide do I prefer functionality or the meme of having the FJammer

[@samg8388]

Is this unit compatible with the FJ Cruiser 2023 model in the Middle East that has JBL sound system with subwoofer? I bought the car for my overseas trips and I reside in Australia. I’m happy to purchase it from you and install it myself on my next trip. I live in Brisbane.

[@mrbass9269]

i have fj with jbl original syster from factory is that harness work with it

[@cambosteveSR]

How big is the actual stereo itself? I know the screen size but I'm looking for the size of the whole thing

[@mazinalriyami2902]

I have JBL subwoofer in my car it will work with subwoofer?

[@mrbass9269]

same my problem i ask him and he not answers me

[@prophetseven728]

I most likely put something to the side. I like the Radio in the FJ for many reasons.

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

Just installed this kit into 2011 FJ Cruiser, super easy. The only slightly tricky thing was installing the DAB aerial and the lack of the OEM USB on that year's model.

[@JamesSecretofski]

hey, which DAB aerial did you go with?

[@johnnyz7575]

Can this unit run HEMA maps?

Hi, I'm going to install a new head unit into my 2007 FJ. The unit has a usb peripheral for my android phone. The only problem is my FJ since its 2007 only has AUX. Theres no factory USB/AUX. Is there any way to install a USB/AUX? Any other recommendations? Any help would be great. Thank you

[@ImportantComment]

Is all you need to buy the Head Unit?

[@chadharbeck5124]

How the hell do you find that stereo in the states? Looking everywhere and nobody has it. I'm assuming it's compatible with the US rigs?

[@tv4184]

yeah its been a year but fasmoto ships to US. Both me and my friend have gotten these radios for our toyota wide opening cars.

[@broken_font1881]

Do you still have the original radio? I'll buy it for $100 and I'll pay for shipping?

[@jessicachaundy3460]

Can anyone tell me where to purchase the USB retention adapter??

Is there remote operation FJ CRUISER 2015

[@gavinchapple825]

Great job boys!

[@peterj5751]

Is the VSS wire similarly placed for the Prado 150 series? I am looking at the 9019 Kenwood for a Prado 150 series but finding the VSS wire is an issue.

[@AutoChimp]

Use the GPS to VSS we sell on our website. Note also kenwood doing an update to remove the VSS part soon so its not a 100% requirement for wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

[@peterj5751]

Thanks for your answer. Is the update a software update that’s coming? If so, do you have any idea of when it will be released?

[@alslatyer519]

Hey, great video… just to double check…the VSS wire is light purple ( more Lilac that purple) with white strip and it’s in the 28 pin plug for the stereo…have I got the correct?

[@jonathanneethling]

Excellent !!

Hi, just wondering where do you put your earth wire. Thank you

[@nickh9049]

is this radio available in the US?

[@AutoChimp]

The DDX9WS series (widescreen) was released only in Asia and Australia

[@HeliMicky]

Love you videos Daniel :-)

[@SimonT65]

Great video but not so great Kenwood. I have this exact model (DDX919WS) in my 2018 Prado GXL but having intermittent issues making phone calls. If I say "Hey Siri call Joe" I can see the phone call is attempted but when the person answers I can't hear them however they can hear me perfectly well. I know they have answered btw because the timer starts counting off how long the call is on the head units screen. I've taken the vehicle back to the installer who swapped out the unit for another brand new unit but still the same issue. I've used various other iPhones with still same fault. Looks like a firmware upgrade is on the cards for this unit. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced issues when making calls? Issues happen with Wireless Car Play and when my phone is plugged into USB...

[@xga303]

I've had the exact same issue happen with my DDX9019DABS and iPhone Xs. Very frustrating! Kenwood just released a new firmware for both the DDX919WS and DDX9019DABS last Friday (24th of May) and I installed it tonight. The release notes of the new firmware don't specifically address issues with not hearing placed calls, however I made several test calls tonight and it worked perfectly every time, so perhaps the new firmware fixed it? Try installing the new firmware and see if it works for you. www2.jvckenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2019/2019c/eng.html

[@AutoChimp]

Never had this issue mate at all and we sell about 30+ per week. Something is not correct either on your car or on your installation. Check to ensure you use short genuine cables for the Apple CarPlay, ensure all updates are done. Ensure the microphone is not damaged. Check the settings on your phone calls both on unit and on phone.

[@SimonT65]

@@AutoChimp I didn't install it, had a reputable car radio business in Fremantle do the install for me. When I took it back to the installer last week they had the Kenwood rep out who admitted there was an issue. There must be an issue otherwise Kenwood wouldn't put out an update. Going to try the firmware update that xga303 mentioned above. Love your work, very helpful

[@SimonT65]

@@xga303 Thanks for pointing this out, off to try the update as we speak

[@xga303]

@@SimonT65 No worries at all. Please let us know how you go. The only other change I made was turning off "Personal Hotspot" on my iPhone (not sure if this makes a difference). I'm still running iOS 12.2 and haven't upgraded to 12.3 just yet.

Disappointing you can't use the AUX USB as intended...

that steering wheel plug is completely different from my FJ lol

same lol

How about making a tutorial on how to do a car that's actually difficult instead of always doing easy cars. I'd love to see how you go fitting a 9019 to a 2010 Honda civic type r. Challenge throw down.

[@g-funk484]

Not meant to cut of the tip from the vss wire it even has a label saying that. I just cleaned my house windows with a non marring pry bar and windex. Frankies putting all of australian installers out of business with bullshit pricing. The end
