    tangokim - I already had an aftermarket camera attached to a small rearview mirror monitor. Too small to be much use and hard to see in bright light. The camera now works very well in the head unit, it was bought last year from amazon UK. It is no longer for sale on there but is a "TaoTronics TT-CC04 Color CMOS Rear View Reversing Parking Camera Waterproof - Flush Mount - Silver". The chrome effect on the camera is poor quality, with corrosion after one winter, but it still works well.

    For those still want to order and save a little bit of headache. You will need to specify which one to Eric when you order. Unfortunately I didn't and was sent the 3 connector wire. He will be sending me the 4 soon.

    There are the 2 types of oem units from Toyota. This will which will determine if you need the 4 or 3 cable connectors. My 2012 non jbl requires the 4

    This one will need 4

    This will need 3

    So I might need the 4 cables as well. He is sending me a different cable and hope that will work. I lost my excitement of all the missing cables so I'm stock radio as of this time.

    It seemed like when he sent it, he knew I would need the 4 connected cable. Maybe he doesn't have them? Is there anywhere else to order them? I don't feel like waiting a couple weeks

    He just told me right now, that he will send me the other cable. How long have you been waiting for yours?

    Lol! I'm still waiting on my unit. Apparently, its still in the 'testing' phase. Guess you guys will get the bugs worked out by the time mine arrives.

    While it's in "testing phase", take the time to partially remove your old unit and see if which cable you need

    Good thought. I think I'm the 3 plug. I've got a 2010. No jbl version. Googling the number from the front of the radio got me pictures of the back .... But I will pull it this weekend to verify.

    There is a solution for using the steering wheel controls to control a 3rd party music player like Poweramp, etc. I read a review earlier that said only the stock music player can be controlled with the steering wheel buttons on these headunits. The fix (installing 2 apk files) does not require rooting!

    The link is in my next post. Might be of use to you guys, check top post on that link.

    Regarding Satellite...

    Since these kind of units allow you to download apps from Google Play store, wouldnt you be able to use the SirusXM app?
