UA4runner

At first I thought about going with an aftermarket head unit but I couldn't find anybody that makes a dash kit for my 4runner yet. I also don't know if anybody makes a wiring harness yet either because of the JBL amps.

So for now I think I want to go with XM. I absolutely don't want to go FM Modulation unless I have to.

The PIE and BlitzSafe adapters are supposed to work with any 2003 Toyota models w/o the navigation system but it says to use the 12 pin port for the optional 6-disc cd changer. What if my head unit IS a 6-disc changer? Will you still have the port? (I plan on calling PIE or BlitzSafe but wondered if anyone else had tried this)

Any recommendations on PIE v/s BlitzSafe?

Any recommendations on Delphi SkyFi/Roady or XM Commander?

I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say about this as well!

there are tons of XM double din head units to replace the stock setup too.

if you go to that link, there is a pdf file for vehicle compatibility and toyota is on page 6 ... just in case that says something different.

UA as in what UA? The University of Alabama?

I'm thinking of going XM , but NOT FM Modulation... I have read quite a few threads, I am interested to find out what you decide.

I, too, am waiting for a more permanent solution once Scosche or someone has the adapter to put in a new head unit. For now I've got a Raody. I'm using a tape adapter and it sounds a lot better than the RF modulator in the wife's Sequoia -- but I'd rather direct connect if the Blitzsafe worked -- let us know.

If you want a Roady, you can get it for 49 bucks if you sign up for 3 months by buying it here.

Enter code XMDPHXM04

Do it quick, though -- the last code expired in like a week or so.

BTW -- I originally got this deal off http://bensbargains.net and then got the updated code at http://www.fatwallet.com -- so I'm not taking credit for it!

Yeah I graduated and moved from Tuscaloosa a couple of years ago.

That's a sweet deal on the Roady...Are they better than the SkyFi or XM Commander?

Interesting that you say the tape adapter sounds better. I got the impression the FM modulator would sound better - but still not as good as direct connect. You are out of luck anyway if you have the 6-disc in-dash changer. The direct connect modules are supposed to plug in at the connection for an EXTERNAL changer. So I'm pretty sure that won't exist if you have the in-dash changer.

I talked to a guy a Crutchfield and was told they would have a DIN adapter at the end of the month and the people at http://americaninternational.net/ told me the same thing. Bad news is they don't expect to have a wiring converter anytime soon to go with the JBL amps.

So to make a long story short, I think I'll just save up to buy a head unit and wait for the adapter.

One more thing...
Does the security system work through the factory head unit in the '03s?

If so I'm SOL.

Scosche have a nice looking single DIN head unit adaptor if that is what you meant. The lower space is a little cubby that canl be upgraded down the road to a little CD holder (kinda slide out draw dealy)

Scosche TA2044.

When mine is in place, I will post pics.
