I’m just putting this up because I was looking for info myself. Today I got this Sony xav8000 radio installed. It fits pretty nicely in the car. I had the alpine ilx-309 but didn’t like the unit functionality. Here are the pics of both:
Everything works. I had a pro shop install it. The first time around the volume keys and the track advance buttons on the steering wheel were acting funny. I brought it back and they put in a different brand of steering control adapter. It works great now. Back up camera is good too. It was too distorted on the alpine. Also, the alpine dim was still too bright when driving at night. The Sony has better, more intuitive software.
Looks great. I've also been looking at this unit, any idea which steering wheel control adapter worked and didn't work? Do you still have Sirius radio also.

I don't have a Highlander (thinking about maybe buying a 2019). What is between the display and the dash (which is blocked by the display)? Just an empty slot where the factory radio was?
I just hit up my local audio shop and am going to have this same setup installed in my 2017 Hybrid. I’m excited..I really hate the factory Entune setup.
There is a height and an angle adjustment. When they first put it in they had it too high and it looked funny to me. Make sure they have you see the placement before they screw it in tight.
This started 5 days ago. I first noticed a slight vibration in the drivers seat and steering wheel when stopped at a light and car in drive. Very soon after this I began hearing a rhythmic thumping sound from under the trunk floor when the car is stopped with the transmission in reverse. It...
OK....so I have been living under a rock the last 10 years. I took my 2019 hybrid in for its first 5K service and the guy told me yes, the service is included, but, these don't require oil change until 10K.
I think my '08 was 5K I have to trust they're know what they're talking about, but wow...
In my 2017 SE, I found the clock (top of dash) to run fast. I set the clock to the second in Nov 2019 when I adjusted it for daylight savings. 3 months later, I checked and the clock it is running 70sec too fast. Quartz clocks shouldn’t be this inaccurate.
Anyone else experience the same?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a new 2019 Highlander XLE with the automatic start/stop feature and have noticed that the battery charge always seems low (~12.3v, so <70% charged). The charging system behavior also seems unusual. First of all, I always disable the automatic start/stop by driving in S8 mode so this...
Just had an odd thing happen: had parked my 2019 Highlander hybrid limited in a parking lot while we ate dinner. Came back out and tried to start the car. At first, I was given messages that the hybrid system had not started (yes, I was pushing brake). after a few more presses of start, stop...
