It facilitates the integration of an After-market radio to enable retention of certain factory features when replacing a factory-installed radio. It retains factory installed JBL amplifiers and is also pre-programmed for retention of steering wheel controls.

The harness itself is of good quality and the plugs match the factory plugs well. The instructions are pretty straight forward. It comes with 2 main harnesses for newer and older model vehicles, plus other jumpers and adapters for other different features and different head units. I installed this in a 2013 Toyota Tacoma with the factory JBL system. Here is the issue I encountered. Using the harness for newer vehicles the power plug matched the factory plug perfectly, but the speaker and control plug did not. The other harness for older vehicles was the opposite. The speaker and control plug matched but the power plug did not. What I had to do was cut the 2 harnesses apart and rewire them to make my own harness that matched the factory plugs for my truck. After that, it worked great for the aftermarket head unit installation.The other issue is that the steering wheel controls do not work. Did all the firmware updates, made sure everything was up to date and triple checked the installation. Tried every dip switch setting and changed the internal dip switch with every configuration and not one of the steering wheel buttons worked. I will be contacting Crux this coming week to see if I can get it resolved, but from other reviews, I’m not optimistic..

It worked perfectly, easy to follow instructions. Steering wheel buttons needs programming for it to function.

Pude cambiar el estereo de fábrica por uno de pantalla, aunque no se si decir que fue a mejor, pierdes el control del fade F-R, 2 canales y la entrada auxiliar de video de la parte trasera, se pierde el dvd del toldo y am no se sintoniza por como viene el cinector original, el amp esta en extremos, si se activa sube demasiado el volumen y si no, se escucha demasiado bajo, aunque es buena opcion se pierde mas de lo que se podria ganar al cambiar por uno mas nuevo.

Ordered my radio from another site that included the wire adapter. That adapter was wrong and this was the solution. The new radio wouldn't have worked at all without this kit. This kit allowed me to keep the factory JBL system and steering wheel controls. Does take a bit of know how and wiring diagrams to hook up properly.

Return or do not order. Instead order a idataalink by Maestro. You can get from Crutchfield.These units do not work at all. CRUX knows these units will not work, and have known for over 2 years.The problems are the amp will turn on once, might turn on again. Steering wheel controls do not function etc. etc. Calls to technical support were not returned, had to follow up, and they finally admitted that they have no fix...and not with a poor pcb but they lack the understanding of the digital control line. So just do not waste your time. I have tried CRUX on a Subaru as well. That also did not work. Just junk.

Quería dar ganancia a la recepción de la radio y tener sonido igual al sonido original con bajos y agudos claros. La instalación por el técnico fue excelente y mi objetivo fue alcanzado.

Worked well, coupled with a Sony XAV AX5600 head unit, to replace the existing E7006 unit.Wires matched up easily, soldered and head shrunk all of them.Not having luck with the backup camera -- not sure how power input works.No fade on the car but sounds and worked well. Steering wheel controls for volume, track skip, and mode all work well.No idea on durability yet.

Works great no font to rear fade which is fine the description mentions that but for what ever reason my steering wheel controls don’t work the plug was slightly to small (2008 Toyota rav 4 limited with the Jbl system) but other than that works as intended

Worked perfectly to retain the JBL amplifier, aux input port, and steering wheel controls when installing an aftermarket deck on 2012 4Runner, however neither camera harness included was the correct one to retain the factory back up cam. I had to cut off the RCA and 6V step-down converter and splice them into the corresponding wires on the vehicle harness and was able to retain the factory camera.

I went through two of these and both had the backup camera 6v harness wired backwards. I started to back up and the thing started smoking and filled the car with smoke, and I burned my hand.I didn't plug it in backwards, this is the only way the harness can connect. See the red to black and black to red.The rest of the harness is wired correctly, but this is a major issue and you should not use this portion.

I purchased this interface to upgrade the head unit in my Tundra. I wanted to maintain all the factory steering wheel controls as well as the stock amp and sub location. This unit integrated my Pioneer touchscreen seamlessly! Installation was simple and my only negative would be the loss of fade control. I have two Tundras, an 05 and an 07. I plan on ordering another unit to use on my 05. Without this unit I would need a separate unit for the SWC, amp and head unit. Way to go CRUX!
