thanks

I have also noticed that (as stated from another thread) that my power antenna will only retract when the ignition is turned off. I am wondering if anyone has a "fix" for the '04 Sequoia? I saw a reply concerning the celica, but I just need the "warm and fuzzy" that this will work on the "04 Sequoia as well.
Additionally, My sequoia did not come with the steering wheel controls option. I purchased a steering wheel with the stereo controls on it off of ebay, and I am looking for a solution on how to properly wire it up to my new NAV system. I know some of you TRD, and Toyota-knights can help me prevail on this war-of-the-wires. So I ask all of my minyons (?) for your help. Maybe someone is good at building harnesses (I'm not). :confuse:
Finally,
As long as I am going off of the deep end, I purchased a rearview Camera from Yan Labratories http://mywebpages.comcast.net/yanlab/usa/hotDeals.html I was wondering how difficult it will be to mount this in the rear deck. I'm going to keep the original Keyhole lock, and just drill out a new hole for the camera (My wife will kill me, but then again I won't have to worry about finishing it if she does!) :P Your input is valuable!
HELP!!
Thanks for your help,
Rocky
Could you tell me the bypass steps to enable playing the DVD on the front console while driving?
Contrary to what was suggested by an earlier reply, I would like for my front passenger to view the DVD while driving.
Thanks!!
I've got an '06 Sequoia and I'm looking to add the navigation system and the steering wheel with the audio controls. Can't find either anywhere!! :confuse: You said that you got your steering wheel from ebay. Was it a vendor or private owner?
I'll see if I can find the wiring diagrams.
I am sure others would greatly appreciate the information.....
Thanks
hope this was helpfull to all thanks and take care while driving bye for now..
Would appreciate any help,
Thanks, Sheryl
I modded my system and it wasn't too difficult. First thing I did was replace the speakers in the door. One of the door speakears up front was blown, so that was my first project. I pulled the door skins off (very carefully using needle nose pliers to pull one clip off at a time). Lifting UP on the skin as you pull it out from the door will help seperate the area by the window. Once the skin was off, I left the black bracket in the door and used a reciprocating saw (I think that's the name) to cut the old speaker out of the door.
I had to make my own braket to fit the existing one in the door. I traced the speaker on a thin sheet of pressed wood and then used a larger bowl for tracing a circle that was approx. 1 1/4 inches bigger than the speaker circle. Then, using the same saw, I cut the smaller circle out, followed by the larger circle so that I had "rings". I then mounted my new speakers (6/5" 140 Watt 3-way) to the rings. Put the speakers in the door and used screws to mount the ring to the existing black bracket. Put the door skins back on and presto, FANTASTIC sound out of the front.
Next was the rear and bass problem. I pulled up the centre console (VERY easy to do) and there was the amp powering the rear speakers. I cut the wires feeding the rear left door and rear right door (If you're not sure which ones, just look where the wires enter the door near the hinge). From the wire coming OUT OF THE AMP, I patched in a speaker to RCA converter. Ran the RCA's discreetly up through the dash (so that I can put in an aftermarket deck later without so much work) and under the door sills to the rear of the truck. I also added speaker wire to the wire going to the speakers and fed it through the same path.
Now my truck was back together and I had a couple of RCA's and some speaker wire sitting in the rear compartment. I went to Home Depot, picked up some MDF and using the same saw cut a "shelf" that fit perfectly between my third row seats and my rear door. (I believe the piece I needed was 60" x 18"). I cut two holes for speakers as far to the left and right as I could, and trimmed the outer edges to conform to the plastic that snakes inwards at the end of the truck. Then I went to a local car audio place and had them carpet the wood for me ($25).
Took the RCA's and ran them into a small amp that powers the rear door speakers and the speakers mounted into the third row. Then ran RCA's out of that amp into a larger amp that powers one 12 inch, 800 Watt Rockford Fosgate in an enclosed box. I tried a bandpass with 2 12's in it which had good bass, but was pushing tons of air. Then I tried an enclosed box, but the sound wasn't clean enough. The enclosure was PERFECT. I mounted the amps to the underside of my shelf (which helped to make a "trunk" for my sub) so that I can pull the sub box out by simply unplugging the speaker wire. If I really need the space, because the speakers and amps are all mounted on a piece of wood that isn't fixed in the truck, I can unplug a few wires and pull the whole shelf out.
The bass is TEETH shattering if (I turn the amp up) and I have a really FULL sound because of the three-way's I put behind the third row. Now it sounds like there is sound coming from all over the truck.
Oh yeah - I patched into the power wire going into the factory deck for my remote wire and put a switch in so that I can turn the sub on and off at will - I have an aftermarket dvd that's patched into the stereo and when the kids are watching Barney, they don't need to rock the block.
Best thing I could have done.
If anyone wants pics, feel free to email me at musicalsoul70hotmail.com
The THIRD AND FINAL box was the enclosure.
Also, the benefits of creating a "trunk" by adding the shelf include reducing the pressure created by the subwoofer and adding resonance to the mid-bass.
Additionally, I added a couple of small slats of wood to the underside of my shelf that sit flush on the speakerbox to reduce the weight on the shelf. Adding them ensured I wouldn't have any sagging or warping of my shelf.
Thanks.
See post 492.
good luck

Even you don't purchase the towing package, Toyota already pre run the wire to a lower left side under bottom of your truck. There is a black rubber piece covered it. You pull this out then you can see a connector. You don't need to cut or modify anything. There are 2 things require to make this this work. 1) purchase the harness wiring from Toyota on the Web, pull the black rubber piece, plug harness in. 2) purchase one factory relay , open a fuse box next to the battery and plug this relay in and you are ready to go. There are 2 harness cables you can purchase from TOYOTA Web. The round one with 7 pins cost around $75. The flat one with 4 pins cost around $35. Relay cost $25. If you are interest this please send me alink so I can send you a pictures of this. This will save you alot of money. I did it myself 2 years ago for my 2003 Seq. I also purchase Drawtide hitch for $125 at a local RV dealer. This looked exactly factory hitch. I also posted some very useful information about Sequoia in this forum for other matters. Please search and review for your info.
Thank you

BUT, seems like with the passenger airbag (sensor in seat to know when someone is in that seat) there should be an override for the Nav system too. Very annoying when I am out with the family and my wife can't change Nav system because we changed our minds, want to look for the local Outback, etc, without pulling over. Does anyone have a solution to this??
thanks very much
1. Should the DVD monitor come on automatically when I put in a DVD?....I can hear it through the speakers but not see it.
2. I went to Bestbuy last night and purchased a Sony unversal remote, but I didn't know which codes to use. I noticed there was a factory remote on Ebay and I emailed the guy to ask what the mfg was....he quoted me matsushita, which turns out to be Panasonic. I tried the DVD and the Tv codes for Panasonic, but had no luck.
Based on your previous post, should I be using the DVR codes and not the TV/DVD codes?
It does have the learn feature on it, but won't get an opportunity to go there for a few days.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Mike
Are you talking about the harness in the rear for the trailer hook-up or are you referring to the wiring harness up front to control electronic braking module?
Mike
I have all pictures ready to send you but I don't have your email address. I also have a use spare TOYOTA wiring for trailer hitch in very good condition, cost me $35. If you interest let me know. you will pay shipping cost for about 3 or 4 bucks. I also installed 10.4" ROSEN Entertainment system on my TOY. This is a high quality product that I recommend. This is very nice. I wish I can send you all information to you now. Do not let them ruin your car and spend too much for this simple thing that you can do it by yourself. Please let me know.
This is a first time I tried to upload the picture on this forum. If come out OK then I will post more soon.

You need a place to "host" the pic on the net - like your CarSpace page as Tides said. Once you upload your photos to a hosting site, then you can link to the photos.
