How to Install Aftermarket Toyota RAV4 Stereo upgrade?

So all you need to is removing the old rav4 radio from your dashboard, then you can upgrade it with the new head unit. Basically, if you have experience removing the factory Toyota rav4 radio before, then you should be able to install this new rav4 stereo as well. The power cables, antennas, and other cables are all different and easy to distinguish them, so you won’t plug them wrong.

So let’s get started installing.

Factory Toyota RAV4 radio removal

  1. Firstly you need to remove the factory radio. Begin your installation you need to take out car key or remove the negative cable from car battery.
  2. Use a plastic trim tool, remove the upper dashboard trim panel. Set the panel aside once removed.

    unplug the wiring harnesses
    Installation note: place a soft, cloth material over the top side of the air conditioning controls. This will provide a buffer between the controls and the sharp edges of the radio and reduce the chances of scuffing the dashboard.

Aftermarket Toyota RAV4 stereo installation

Once you removed the factory stereo, you can start installing the new Toyota rav4 stereo. The most important part of this step is cables connections. 

  1. Firstly connect your plugs with the power cable.

  3. If your Toyota Rav4 has factory reversing camera, don’t forget to connect the yellow RCA cables as below.

    connection for factory camera

    If you connect an aftermarket backup camera, then you don’t need to connect CAMERA R cable with CAMERA AR cable, but you need to connect the purple cable(label: CAMERA AR) with yellow plug with the video cable from the camera. And you should connect another brown wire(label: BACK) with a red trigger wire from the long video cable of the camera.

  4. You can put the USB cable in the glove box, just run it from the back of the new stereo to from inside dashboard to glove box. 

  5. Put the GPS antenna at top right corner of the dashboard, this can make the unit get GPS signal well. If the GPS signal is not good, then you can check this step.

    Note: There may be a speaker at the top corner of your dashboard, please do not put the antenna near the speaker, as the antenna and speaker are both magnetic, it will affect the GPS signal, then you can try another position.
