I understand how confusing it can be with so many options out there! For your 2011 Toyota Camry with steering wheel controls, you'll want to look for a steering wheel control adapter harness that is compatible with your specific model year.
Here are a couple of options that might work for you:

1. Metra 99-6519: This wiring harness is designed to retain steering wheel controls and is compatible with many Toyota models, including the 2011 Camry.
2. Axxess AX-TOY28SWC: This harness also retains steering wheel controls and is compatible with Toyota vehicles from 2011 and newer.

Make sure to double-check the compatibility with your specific stereo and vehicle model before purchasing. If you're unsure, consulting with a professional installer or reaching out to the manufacturer can also help ensure you get the right harness.

 

I should have asked do I need an antenna adapter?

Yes, you will likely need an antenna adapter when replacing the factory stereo in your 2011 Camry. This adapter will allow you to connect the new aftermarket stereo to the existing factory antenna.

Here are a couple of options that should work for your vehicle:

1. Metra 40-LX11: This antenna adapter is compatible with many Toyota models, including the 2011 Camry.
2. Maestro ACC-SAT-TO1: This adapter is specifically designed for select Toyota vehicles and allows you to connect an aftermarket satellite radio tuner to the factory antenna.

Make sure to double-check the compatibility with your specific stereo and vehicle model before purchasing. If you're unsure, consulting with a professional installer or reaching out to the manufacturer can also help ensure you get the right adapter.

 

I like to go to Crutchfield and enter the specifics for my car, year trim level, with or without JBL, with nav or satellite. They'll give you a complete rundown of what you'll need to install an aftermarket head unit and regain all the controls. Most modern head units have inputs for steering wheel controls so you may or may not need an interface like the Maestro to integrate steering wheel controls.

For my 2011 with base radio, I had to use a Maestro to use steering wheel controls with an older Pioneer head unit. What head unit are you contemplating?

 

Yeah, and for additional small fee they will solder anything on the Maestro. Nothing else for you to do but plug and play. Easy peasy with Crutchfield.
