Hows the long term review or experience? Notice any issues with the stock menus that were lost when swapping out the radio?

Great video. Thank you for your guidance.

its not worth it going in there glacier park its better

Thank you for this share

Brand?

Thanks for the video

Is the aluminum version worthwhile or not strong enough? Can you put a roof top tent on aluminum cross bars in the future?

Wow...I am specifically looking for ways to mount my skybox...THANK YOU! This was perfect!

BEAUTIFUL! One tip, when using grey stain consider using water-based polyurethane to avoid the ambering effects of oil based. Which can turn your gray color slightly purple.

If you still remembered what month you went to this place? I really love to go with that kind of weather like in video. Thanks a lot.

I am debating between this and an Apple CarPlay module. Once this is installed, is there an firmware update that will allow settings within the original OEM head unit to be customized? As an example, the OEM head unit has a setting where the door locks can either all open when you use the key fob or the driver door only with the key fob or the smart key on the door handle. Changing the level of the back door hatch in the cargo area can be done through the OEM head unit daytime running headlights can be turned on or off within the OEM head unit. These are just some of the major ones that I would not want to lose access to, I did run a test where I took the negative battery terminal off of the battery to see if the settings stayed how they were programmed or if they would reset and they did stay the same as they were originally programmed in the head unit. I’m wondering if you guys cannot provide access to these essential vehicle customization OEM options if we just have to set up the vehicle the way that we want prior to putting your aftermarket head unit in and hope that the settings never revert back to a factory reset, as I don’t know where that information would be stored if it’s not stored Within the OEM head unit? As an example if I have all of the door locks set to open at the same time through the OEM head unit and I put your head unit in will that setting remain or will it revert back to the factory setting of just the driver door openingwith one push of the unlock on the key fob? If all of the functions that we set up in the original head, unit will remains stored on the main computer of the vehicle. I may be OK with that, but if they could ever be wiped out while your head unit is in and the only way I would have access to change it back is to reinstall the original head unit that is just unacceptable to me as I’m locked out of way too many features on this vehicle, I think you guys need to address this publicly as everyone needs to know what they are getting themselves into and quite frankly you should create a firmware update or an app to address this issue if you don’t have an answer. Please let me know as I would like to purchase your unit, butit’s not acceptable to lose all of those features. Time is of the essence thank you for your response.

Thank you so much

How do you access key features like lock settings, daytime running lights and many other features? The OEM head unit is the brain for the vehicle programming, if you replace it with an after market you essentially lose all the programming features in the vehicle? Seems like these head units should have incorporated these programming features into the replacement?

Thanks, but curios; why your wife was keeping her phone attached to the magnet in front of her after having the new screen?

What’s the PIN number for Bluetooth?

Hey i installed this. But I need help!! Everything works but the volume controls? Why is this? Sound comes out but I can’t control the volume. Plz help !

Is it better to put the WIFI receiver up where the mic is if you're going to do the mic as well?

helpful video not sure why my backup camera doesn't look as clear as yours though.

Thinking about this, I'd probably want the Raptor lights to come on with the parking lights. But would be cool to have a switch on the dash to interrupt/turn them off when you'd rather have them off (not sure yet on a scenario where I'd want them off though if parking lights are on).

Thanks for the video. I just got mine installed and i am still trying to figure out all of the settings. For some reason every time i use with my phone still of my contacts on my phone go away. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

This system is compatible with andoid auto correct? Cos im having connection issues with original system in my 2019 highlander

Hi! Were you able to retain the OEM USBs charging outputs below the stereo? I know that it won't work for carplay, etc. but my 2017 XLE has 3 USB chargers that I'd love to retain when I install this week. Thanks in advance!

The first week the Sky Walk opened my family of 4 went there. We walked out on the walk and it was spectacular! There are Helicopter rides down to the bottom. Once you were at the bottom there was a boat ready to take you on an hour long ride down the River. After the boat ride the helicopter flew you around for a while to see magnificent views. It is an experience our family just loved.

Do all the OEM features still work? i.e. the bird's eye cameras? (If you have a limited, you should have the four-camera configuration cameras) the in dash information features? steering wheel controls?

Just started looking for a used highlander. This is video was so helpful!.

Just ordered today! Will install soon and update you guys on how it went.

The first time at the Grand Canyon I had a very spiritual experience. I loved the family scripture reading..Thank You

Does this unit have XM radio?

One other thing to point out, there are two protective films on the screen. I peeled off the oversized thin one thinking that was it. Later, I noticed a small spec on the screen and then others. They were perfectly round and when I looked close it looked like specs of dust caught under a screen protector. Sure enough, there was a protective screen in addition to the thin film. Not sure what it says about cleanliness of the manufacturing facility with a number of specs of dust under the screen protector!!!! Anyway, glad the screen wasn't damaged so I didn't have to remove or send back.

I built a full size bed out of cherry, much more involved and I used brackets to take it apart. I and glued the cherry to get thick pieces, and used dominoes for joints. A lot of work, and the bed is still rock solid five years later. But I should have left the extra room on the sides, it would make it much easier to change sheets and blankets. I'm about to tackle a twin bed, and will make it like the old one, except for the extra room on all sides. Thanks for the ideas! Your bed looks excellent. The twin mattress, which was on a metal daybed that is not comfortable as a "couch" is going to be reused. It's 7 inches thick, so am trying to figure out how to design it so the mattress stays contained. The side rails are the biggest expense as I have enough wood for the head and footboards (cherry). Extra motivation via watching your cute video.

Great understanding on how to install the raptor lights. Awesome job, very professionally done and explained. Thanks, guys

Did you lose your fade control when you installed this?

Does backup camera works too?

Any issues yet with the unit? Such as backup camera, Wireless autoplay or wireless Android Auto, Connection To Factory or display going out?

Thanks for the review and tutorial on the install. Because of your video, I purchased the same unit and it is working great! The only issue I am having is being able to hear my music from Spotify on the CarPlay in ALL the speakers. For some reason it is only playing in the front speakers. When I play the radio through the android section of the unit, all speakers are working and I am able to EQ the lows, miss, and highs. BUT, when I play music through the CarPlay section of the unit, the music is very flat with no EQ and it only plays through the front speakers. Have you had this same issue or do you know what I am doing wrong?

Hey quick question. Does the device have wired apple carplay also? For example if u wanted someone else to connect to CarPlay, do I have to turn off Bluetooth and they have to connect, or can you connect via usb

Why in the world would you need a relay to switch on 3 little LEDs that probably won't produce more than .5 amps? Yes relays are the way to go with most applications, such as light bars, on board air compressors, ditch lights, pretty much anything with more than 3amps to be on the safe side. But raptor LEDs will work just fine with a fused power wire and any rocker switch, even the cheap eBay rocker switches would be able to handle them. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Suddenly everyone wants to put a relay on every little thing they install, thats why they sell them by the dozens on Amazon and eBay. If you think im wrong, go look in your car's manual, and try to find the "relay" for your license plate lights lol 😂

Was the camera AV plug the correct one? Any issues with the GPS being installed upside-down and under the dash.

Excellent instructional video to install Raptor lights WITH a switch on basically any vehicle!! I just finish installing the lights on my 2023 4Runner TRD Off-Road, and it came out great.... Feel lucky to have found this video after watching countless other Raptor Lights installation videos.... This is the best one by far!!

Nature is better

Are you still able to use the small screen with the car computer next to the speedometer for anything? Not sure if that is independent of the factory JBL radio

Great video. Thanks. I’ll be there soon

the music is irritating but good video

Bella nave ma non si balla non si mangia e non si parla in italiano spettacoli mediocri e tutti in inglese .Santorini da dimenticare 5000 persone nel suo piccolissimo porto senza poter salire se non a piede o in somarello

Love it!

This is a great video! Btw, is the Apple CarPlay unit compatible with the original dashboard screen (between the speedometer and rpm meter)? i.e. if you play a song using the new infotainment device, would you be able to use the steering wheel buttons to scroll pages on the original dashboard, and see that the name of the song in that dashboard screen too? - Cheers!

Just wondering…. What about the people living near these cruise ship docks? Im sure this can be funny the first 5-10 times, but always?

good video other than you speeding up through the trim removal parts and not showing the connecting of the new unit.

Ray is a living Legend !!

But you've lost the built in NAV and other settings that allow vehicle control like the hatch setting and diagnostics. Personally, I think a better option is the CAR SYNC TECH Android Auto/Car play adapter - you can keep all the factory head unit functions and auto-connect wirelessly to Android or Apple phones. It also gives HD video quality of the Android Auto/Car play. But this unit does have a very large display (but no volume nobs). Nice video though.
