06' Toyota Prius Install w/JBL system and Nav

Great product! I purchased this unit with the Axxess TYTO-01 Wiring Harness for my 06' Prius - works flawlessly! Great instructions and how to's available on the website, walked me right through the complete install into my '06 Prius with zero issues, all controls work as supposed to. I initially tried to go the combined unit route with a PAC RP4.2-TY11, but PRIUS owners beware, it has issues with integration on JBL systems (sound flickering) and the instructions were severely lacking. Cost me $120, I'd spare you that pain, go with AWSC-1.

Be careful

Purchased this product after doing a lot of research. Some people have stated they have had success installing this, I did not. The instructions are difficult to follow (you would think it would be easy, it is only a few wires and possibly a resistor). I do know this module is for many different cars and radios. I was attempting to use it with a Hyundai Veloster and a Boss Audio radio. I may attempt to work with it some more, but it is really a pain to get the radio in/out of the car. My suggestion is to attempt to find someone on a forum or an audio shop to see if this would work for you.Read full review

works

works fine. The documentation that comes with the product needs to be ignored and you just go to their website. I'm an electronics person so for me this was a cinch....very happy with the product.
And there is always one thing of course..
from my steering control it just goes to radio, and I can go to the next station in the radio, but not to the next preset, so the three FM's and the AM I need to engage by hand on the touch screen of the 2din...Kenwood DDX24BT...

Great product, even greater support from Metra

Once the wiring was correct, it detected my car like a charm. The manufacturer METRA gives excellent installation guides and good support if you don't figure it out. Detected all the 5 buttons on my Toyota Corolla 2019 and also supports long press functions. My only doubt is why don't the radios come with such interfaces built in by default. Read full review

Works like it is supposed to easier to install than it looks 2005 4Runner

Looks harder to install than it actually is. All of those wires are to make it compatible with multiple brands and combinations of steering wheel controls. I installed on 2005 Toyota 4 Runner that only has volume...station or track up and down...and a mode button on steering wheel. This only required me to run power and a ground (jumped to one of) three wires coming from the steering wheel control plug that used to go in factory radio. I have a Pioneer AVH390BS which has a 3.5 SWC plug on the chasis so I just plugged that into back of radio/head unit. I had to mod installation a bit and run a jumper wire from a separate ground to the ground wire on the old radio plug. Would not work just running to a different ground...tried that. It had to be wired according to instructions with a jumper to a separate ground before it would work. It auto programed which took a few minutes and has been working problem free since...Read full review

great steering wheel control unit

easy to install, axxess has a really easy to use configurator and website. Just need to ensure that your micro usb cable is a data cable and not just a power cable only. I had to try four cables before I found a micro usb data cable that worked for the custom programming.Read full review

Easy install, worked without any trouble

I read some reviews that made me feel skeptical about this gadget and how it may work. I sometimes wonder how much human error plays a factor in a product review . I went to Metra's website, and got the specifics for my install, a couple wire taps later and this gadget worked no problem. I will say that having the proper tools or connectors (Posi-taps) will make this an easy and very convenient install. I've been using it now for a couple weeks and so far no glitches in any way.Read full review

Nice and reasonably easy device that works as advertised.

It eventually works. You may have to go through the process more than once to get the right sequence but eventually it sets up properly and simply works correctly. The specific download instructions for our specific vehicle were very helpful (i.e. go to the web site.)

Instead of cutting the connector or cutting wires, I used a grinder to narrow down some small finish nails, soldered wire to each (I only needed 3 wires total), and used heat shrink wrap to insulate the ends. They were then firmly inserted then electrical tape wrapped around entire assembly to ensure it stayed put. At any time, I can pull them and return the car to factory stereo if we sell the vehicle.

Good price. Easy programing

Pros: Price, Easy programming(depending on the car), everything provided in the kit.
Cons: Did not have installation instructions for 2004 acura tsx on metra website, wiring instructions on manual was not totally specific, it was my first time with swc so i was unfamiliar on how to wire it/program it. But it was fairly easy.Read full review
