Since the installation process is simple, i will skip it and share some of technical aspects when i searched for a navigation HU on ebay.

1- JBL or non JBL compatible? Look for JBL logo on the front face plate.

2- Display Audio Entune or Premium HDD navigation? There are many different types of Entune HU. Some HUs come with extension module, and some don't.

3- Y harness? This harness will connect between HU and extension module. I always looked for HU with y harness, if it doesn't show on pictures, i will request the seller to obtain it from their car. You can also purchase it from Toyota website- part no. PT296-47120-AB.

4- Original vin number? If the seller can't provide, do not buy it. You need to a correct vin number to create an entune account.

5- GPS antenna? if the seller can supply an gps antenna, that's great. If not, you will have to buy one on ebay. You can find more information on this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39071. Also, you can search an oem gps antenna on these cars: toyota, lexus, acura, nissan, jeep, ford, panasonic, .... As long as it has similar squared shape, it will work on this HU.

2012 Navigation HU - front plate no. P10067.
2013 Navigation HU - front plate no. P10407.

I will update this thread if i found any information relate to Camry Navigation HU.

Good luck!!!!:grin:

 

Does this have satellite radio as well?

 

Yes, it has satellite menu options as well.

 

How did you get to the tire pressure menu. I've been looking for it since I upgraded from a 2012 to 2013 camry with entune

Well, TPMS display feature is only available on 2012 Camry models.

 

that is a good price, can i have a link? Thank you

 

You can easily find one on ebay - same price or even cheaper. I particularly interested in this head unit ( ebay # 181502868879) because it came with an extension module, y harness ( part no. PT296-47120-AB) and original vin number. You can find more information about the extension module on this website: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39071 . They actually spent $1300 for an Entune extension module. :grin:

 

How come you can't use the xm radio featue?
What's theface plate part number on the one you bought on ebay

As i mentioned in previous post, you can buy a XM antenna and install it on the back of head unit. I didn't use it because it required a monthly subscription. I'm not sure what you are asking and here is front faceplate no: P10067.

 

The xm antenna is different from the gps antenna ?

The radio i bought has some minor scratches but i am fine with it. I placed antenna gps on top of the hu - below the air vent.

 

And it picks up the singal okay ? Sorry for all the questions.

Yes, it does picked the signal very well- between 8-10 sats.

 

I definitely need to get some funds together to do this.

 

I'm still surprised you were able to find one for $400. I never seen any under $600 on eBay.

 

I found one for 450 but lost the bid:frown:

 

There are many sellers listed it as radio instead of navigation. My tip is to search it as camry radio. How do i spot a navigation HU? looked for "App" button on lower right. You will find some cheap HU as low as $350. Found one but it doesn't have y harness or vin number (ebay # 361025153574). I didn't buy it at first place because the seller do not have its vin number and i do not want to spend $30 on Y-harness.

Good luck. :grin:

 

I see some of the nav hu's on ebay have an extension box and some do not. What is its purpose? Is it required to get everything working, or did they move the features of the extension box into the hu on newer models?

 

I found lot of information about HU with extension module and that is why i bought one with extension module. You can buy one without extension module and let me know how it works .:grin:

 

I found a P10067 with the extension box included for $327 shipped. I bought an OEM Kenwood GPS antenna for $15, only a few dollars more than the lower quality aftermarket antennas that ship from China. $342 later, I'm all set for the upgrade to factory navigation!

I got the VIN number of the original car from which the radio was pulled. Is that all that is needed to register for Entune and not have the account blocked/banned? Also, I have read some things that would indicate that a car must be "wired" for Entune enable units to work. My car did not come with an Entune unit. Shouldn't I still be able to make it work by using the VIN of the original car? I can't see where the car itself would need to be "wired" for Entune.

 

its worth a try ive been researching and was wondering if any of you guys found a blu logic ecu unit in the car because the blu logic module is connected to a ecu where it is being controlled and on a bulk blu logic unit i found on ebay link here http://www.ebay.com/itm/161051011509
it comes with a mic jack which is the small white connection using this could i be able to disconnect the module and directly connect the mic cable from the ecu of the module to the HU radio and use as a mic??

 

Wait wait what kind of car do you have a base l Le se or what? And did you have blu logic for Bluetooth?

 

I saw your other post, my non nav unit does not have those ports. My car is 2013 SE model.

I have a 2014 SE with non-Entune, non-NAV radio. It does have bluetooth and touchscreen. I'm not sure about blu logic. I also have steering wheel controls.

 

I saw your other post, my non nav unit does not have those ports. My car is 2013 SE model.

 

Yeah on my non nav doesn't either

 

Oh okay well then I'm not sure anymore

 

Okay, I was partially incorrect about having two plugs left over. I have one left over. My car has a plug that is identical in size and shape to the larger of the two plugs coming from the extension box. The plug has four wires on it. I left it disconnected since I figured the one coming from the extension box is important. Apparently I made the correct choice, because everything is working as expected! The only issue I have now is that the gps antenna does not fit the port in the radio as expected. It is very close, but it is not exact. Is there an antenna that fits it perfectly?

 

Look at the connector. You will find two rised ears on either side of the connector end. Take a sharp razor blade trim the ears off, then the plug will slide right in.

 

Thanks, that worked perfectly! It didn't want to snap in place once in there, so I just went around the connector with electrical tape to secure the connection at the extension box. Everything seems to be working now except for the backup camera. I have a feeling that the connector I had to leave off is the one that has the camera connections on it.

Here are pics of the connector. It is identical to the larger of two connectors on the y-harness coming from the extension box, so I don't know how I can get these wires connected to the radio. I have to choose one or the other.

 

Another pic that might help. I think perhaps the NAV and non-NAV units use different connectors for the backup camera.






UPDATE: I found this site that confirms the remaining port on the back of my radio is the camera port. So it appears that the non-NAV, non-Entune units use the 24-pin connector for the camera while the NAV/Entune units use a 16-pin connector. I need to find a harness that adapts my connector to 16-pin or make one myself in order to get my camera back up and running.

That is not truth. I installed it on 2013 SE and it used 16 pins connector for backup camera. I think they changed on 2014 models. I can custom one these connector for you from 16p - 24p. It will cost you about $30 + shipping. My store on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/usr/ip4d

 

Do you need any additional pics, or are the ones I posted earlier good? I have four wires coming into the harness.

 

The wires are the same as 16 pins connector except e-brake wire.

and this is your camera connector :grin:

 

Does anyone know if a JBL head unit will work in a car without JBL? Found a screaming deal on a nav.

 

The wires are the same but you would need to convert from non jbl sound system to jbl compatible such as JBL speakers and AMP. A hell lot of works.:grin:
