First off, when you guys see a tutorial especially with pics, thank that person because today I got to understand how much longer it makes the process. That said, I want to help people so here goes.
You will need:
*You need a 2014, 2015, 2016? Corolla with 100149 on the faceplate. We don't yet know if the base radio only corolla can be upgraded.
*GPS antenna adapter part number 86808-02080 $35+$15 shipping trd sparks
*GPS antenna - DOES NOT have to be the OEM $250 part!!! It's available on Amazon for $19.99 and the link is further below. Its final resting spot will be behind the black bezel where your passenger airbag on/off light is. 100% functionality and its out of sight!! :rockon:
*86842-0E010 Spider cable with 6 connectors. Connects your nav unit with the Nav unit brain mounted under the radio. Best price via you dealer ( I know, I know..). Online around $65+shipping I pit 2 dealers against each other and got it for $70. You MUST have this part.
*10mm socket with extension
* HIGHLY recommend $7 interior panel trim tools from Harbor Freight
*XM not required. Obviously only get it if you want XM. You will still have the XM option on your head unit but it'll say antenna problem if you try to use it. (duh)
*VIN # from US car with nav if your unit comes from Canada. Just go to your dealer and snap a pic of it. Look for the black XM antenna on the roof of the car.
Step 1
You need a nav head unit.
As long as it says 100150 on the faceplate it should work. The actual model number from mine is 86100-02100. Other variations include model number 86100-02101. I picked mine up from a Canadian salvage yard called LKQ and it was $205 until another bidder upped it to $255. Damn you, daranrt .. I kid! :chug:
*Note: If you do import from Canada, expect a long delay from Customs and a $34.25 tax from that country. UPS will bill you. I found out the hard way.
Step 2.
Despite what another thread may say, you can save $250 and not buy the factory GPS antenna. I got this one from Amazon and she works like a charm.

Its green connector plugs in to the gray connector that is the antenna adapter.
Step 3. Yeah you have to buy the factory GPS antenna adapter. Its $35+$15 shipping from TRD Sparks. Sadly you also have to buy the 86842-0E010 "spider" cable that connects the upper and lower units. The only reason you have to buy this is the MORONS that remove these units usually cut the cords instead of just unplugging them. Jerks.
Step 4.
I highly recommend interior parts trim tools. I got mine from Harbor Freight for $7. That black long plastic trim piece that goes around your clock is surprisingly hard to remove, at least if you dont want to leave any scratches.
You dont need the XM antenna unless you plan on using XM. Good luck with that though because you'll have to get it from the dealer and it'll be expensive.
Now for some pics!
My new baby arrives after a long time in Customs.
I recommend cleaning it first. If it was in a car that was in an accident, it could have airbag dust on it. I have been in a wreck and that smell is familiar and I hate it. Here she is all cleaned up.
Make sure it includes the micro sd card map.
This is the gps antenna adapter from Toyota that you must have.
Here is its connector.
Spider cable. Connects upper and lower sections of nav unit. You must have this.
** I recommend testing your head unit at a local audio shop before proceeding. If something doesnt work, obviously send it back!
Take the long black trim piece off. I suggest starting by your passenger door so you can get the trim tool in there without leaving any scratches. Then slowly pop it off and make your way towards the instrument panel.
Once that's off, just pull and tug around the radio bezel and it will come off. No need for tools here. Just grab it but be gentle and be very careful not to poke the soft material around it. When the bezel comes off, it will still be attached by 2 cables. One for the hazard lights and one for the passenger airbag on/off lights.Disconnect these and set to the side.
Then you will arrive at this point.
This is where all the microfiber cloths come in. You cant use too many! Make sure you put them on the bottom edge of the radio because when that puppy comes out, there are sharp edges and it will hurt the soft padding.
The old radio comes out:
Lots of space back there
In case this helps anybody, the non nav radios connectors.
Here is a family picture of the Plug family that live in your dash. The gray connector is shy.
Lots of room back there:
Looking under where the radio lives:
Get your new nav unit and connect all the plugs. This is very easy. You cant have too much protection.
Fire it up and check out your new features. **Dont get discouraged- GPS signal initially takes a couples minutes to locate. ***You will likely need to do an update soon
It was great to see this message. This is where you need to go ahead and sign up on your entune app with an appropriate VIN#. Once it updates, you will get more apps if they arent already there.
**Holy S#@%. This really scared me. I had it all put back together and my airbag malfunction light came in. I did drive around for a bit and that didnt help. In most cases, your nav unit will come from a wrecked car. I thought I'd have to go to a dealer to get this reset as during this install I did not touch any yellow airbag connectors. After I turned the car off for a few minutes and turned it back on, the light was gone. So, dont panic.
After I updated the system (which you can do wirelessly from your phone) all the apps are present and accounted for! YAY!
More apps!
And just for fun, ( I ripped this idea off from another member indianajonesilm; I cant take credit but this is my own pic)
This was just a fast type up of my install. Please leave questions/comments below. I will do my best to update this and help everyone I can.
