Nice, I have the same ride and it has served me well.
Been thinking about changing or updating the CD, FM, Tape cassette to something similar to what you have

I highly recommend it! Was the best thing I ever did right up there with the sway bar and lowering springs. My favourite thing about it is that I can hook Waze up to it and get reports of red light cameras, accidents, heavy traffic and cops. Before I had the head unit - I used to have my phone mounted on the air vents which was a pain in the butt to reach and would overheat the phone as well.
Thanks for the reply. Any chance you have a photo of the Pioneer AVH-2300NEX head unit w/ a reverse camera.
Addco has discontinued the Sway bars for the highlander.

No problem - and yes in fact I do! Despite the sway bar being discontinued I was actually able to find someone who still had the jig to make me one. Addco 2109: Sway Bar 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander 7/8 Inch Diameter not sure if they will still make them but despite being labelled as "discontinued" I was still able to get one almost a year back.
