RAV4 With Wireless CarPlay! | DIY RADIO Swap | 2006- 2012 RAV4 | Pioneer AVH4400NEX

[@mattg8888]

Thank you. I am about to get my old new RAV4 in Germany and I want to replace the stock radio. This is a great resource. Big thumbs up!

[@smitheys]

No problem! Hope it helped and if you have any questions just holler! Well, don’t holler literally, especially in your house… haha

[@cantweallgetalong]

Are you buying it in Germany for the manual transmission option or?

[@mattg8888]

@@cantweallgetalong nah. I live in Germany. ;-) I have the car now and it is quite nice.

@@mattg8888 Which Radio and Adapter etc. did you buy? Grüße aus Franken ;)!

[@mattg8888]

​@@HoratiusXXL Das Kenwood 5020. Top Gerät. Bei Car Audio 24 kann man dann passend für das Auto auch die Kabel etc einfach im Paket bekommen. Die Anleitung ist....quasi nicht existent, aber man bekommt es auch so hin. Allerdings nicht wireless, aber das macht mir nix.

Those gaps are killing me!

[@smitheys]

I know! Trust me, I know.

[@TheKurtLyon]

Awesome. Looking at picking up a 2012 RAV4 next week and def want to update the radio. This is perfect. Liked & Sub’d

[@knownote]

Didn’t you use to be able to buy install kits where you could just clip the old and new harness together without clipping and reconnecting wires?

[@smitheys]

Yeah, it’s a little different now. You can buy them put together, but you’ll have to pay extra for them to do the crimping for you… not worth it to me, but if you have the extra cash I say go for it.

Thank you for this video!

[@smitheys]

No problem Carina! Thanks for watching.

[@caraboo0013]

@smitheys - which wiring for the power and speakers did you use? I have found the other parts for my 2011 RAV4 that have been shown in the video but not sure about the wiring for power and speakers mentioned. 3:15

[@smitheys]

Cara! I just emailed you back. Let me know if you need anything else!

[@DREQON2005]

The orange dimmer wire coming from my new radio has a white line but the orange wire on the wiring harness I purchased is solid orange I was gonna hook them up just wanted to make sure that’s correct

[@smitheys]

Yeah, you’re good. It’s just the dimmer control.

I have a 2011 RAV4 with the Factory JBL premium system and was wondering if it would be possible to swap out the JBL unit for the Factory Toyota NAV system that was optional on the RAV4’s?

[@DHCApprentice]

Do you know what part of the wiring powers the aux port behind the gear shifter. I recently installed an aftermarket android radio with a wiring kit and my aux port does not seem to work properly anymore

[@covakid91]

Do the volume buttons work

[@smitheys]

Yes!

[@ShifflettBJJ]

What’s the auxible audio mean? Trying to figure out my stereo install

[@smitheys]

It’s just anything else you want to add to it. Could be for overhead/headrest monitors , subwoofers, amps, etc. I didn’t use those ports, I just tapped them off so them wouldn’t ground out on anything.

[@markrenteria2403]

Hey man! How much do you think it would cost for me to pay for a professional to install this? Thanks!

[@smitheys]

Hey Mark! That’s kind of a tricky question because every shop charges different prices and it also depends on what you bring them to install. My advice if you don’t want/don’t feel confident is buy the radio from Best Buy because they usually offer free installs with purchase. If you buy the radio and harnesses, crutchfield has packages for each vehicle to get everything in one shot, then you have to find an installer. Some shops charge anywhere from $80-$200 an hour. Most shops SHOULD get it done in an hour or less. Hope this helps!

@@smitheys thanks so much for the info!

Where did you put the microphone in the car?

[@smitheys]

Hey Michael, just go to eBay or Amazon, type in your radio and then microphone. That question is hard to answer because I don’t know what type of radio you have.

[@bryanribey]

@@smitheys He meant where did you install the microphone in the car. I'm guessing you put it on the A pillar?

[@smitheys]

Oh, wow! Yeah you did. Sorry about that, Michael. Thanks Bryan for catching it. I read it quickly and most people ask where I got things, not where I put ‘em. I put my mic right on top of the steering column cover, kinda towards the speedometer. That way it picks up me and it doesn’t pick up any other noise. The A Pillar would be a good option too, but I roll my windows down and the mic would pickup the wind noise up there. The speedometer kinda makes a dome for the mic. Hope that makes sense.

Hey Joey love the video man is there any possible way you could help me do mine if you had Instagram or a way of me contacting you that would be amazing
