2009 Toyota Camry Factory Navigation retro fit

When we first tackled the project we had no clue how involved it would be, but we love a challenge here at NVS Audio so we rolled up our sleeves and made it work. What made the install even more difficult is the fact the the owner of the car brought in all his own parts after the Toyota dealer dealer sent him to us because they could not perform this install, even though it was all factory parts. The customer brought us :


Factory touch screen Toyota Nav radio

Full Radio Harness (runs the length of the car from front to back, behind the cluster , under the console, and under the seats then to the trunk.)

New steering wheel

(the only way to control the blue tooth in the new nav radio)

Xm tuner box

Nav antenna

Blue tooth unit box

what he was missing :

JBL factory Amp

(this amp must be used because communication between the radio and the amp is digital!!!)

Toyota Blue tooth Mic

(some Carmrys come pre wired with the mic , this one did not. Some also have it in the rear view mirror)  

Install took about 3 days and 2 trips to the dealer to get the radio programed , but everything works perfect and the customer is very happy.

After we got everything to work we also retro fit the the Toyota auto dimming rear view mirror, added the Viper 5901 alarm remote start , Viper dsm 200 Smart start, I Simple ipod adaptor, and NAV TV video on the factory nav screen interface.
