@TXSunDevil The mounting brackets you ordered, are those for the non-nav Land Cruiser?
I just ordered them from Camelback and just wanted to see how you came across that part number.
Vehicle is driveable now, but I need a few more parts before I start the radio install. Ordered brackets and I'm about to order the antenna adapter.
Another question, what did you wire the power antenna (solid blue I think) on the Metra harness to?
I don’t remember what I wired it to exactly but it was in the directions on the package. Yes those are LC brackets from a non nav
 
@TXSunDevil I think I'll just wire it to the Amp turn on. From what I've read on Pioneers as long as it's going to a relay and not directly to power the antenna motor it is fine.

One other question, do you have a diagrma in your Electric manual for the Amp Output wires and what they go to?
My plan is to run new RCAs from my aftermarket headunit and then (assuming all speaker wires are present) use existing wires under the seat to run power to the speakers. There are two wiring harnesses.
 
Just in case you didn't see it you will need to jump out the left front speaker where the NAV was. It will make sense once you are in there. I have attached both diagrams so you can see the different.

I am planning on replacing factory amp as well. Have a Pioneer 5 channel amp. 9605 I believe. Did you have plenty of room under passenger seat once you removed factory amp?
Yes, although mine is right hand drive so it was the drivers seat and I removed the original amp brackets and it fitted under there great. I did put some material under the amp to prevent any vibration or rattle.

Thanks. I've got everything out from the passenger seat and the passenger seat removed . Tons of room under there.
 
I found and bought the manual climate control benzel but no one has the connectors for the climate controls.... anyone have any?

I lucked out when I grabbed my controller off ebay. Ended up asking the seller after the sale to include the pigtails. His reply was that they didn't normally do that but would try. He came through.

Previously to that, the best method I could find to get those pigtails was to grab the whole dash harness from ebay or a car parts site online. They usually went for $300 or so. Kind of a heft price, but worth it to get rid of the NAV in my opinion. Best of luck.

EDIT: I should have prefaced the previous paragraph with "short of finding the pigtails locally, the best method I could find was to grab the whole harness"

I would use car-part.com to locate a wrecking yard near you with the pigtails. I had to drive 70 miles but paid $20 or so for all 4 connectors. Be sure to check for a non-nav cruiser or LX so you don't end up with what you have.
 
If I get a Non Nav bezel with rear heat and I only have rear AC, what problems will that cause me? Is it workable? I have the rear ac switch in my Nav Bezel, can I use it?
 
It is probably workable but I dont think it has been done on this thread. A better option would be getting the bezel that matches what you have. Somewhere in this thread somebody tried it and ended up buying the correct one.

Hmn, good to know, thanx!

I found one with the clock cracked. Do you know if the clock is swappable from the NAv bezel to the non nav? They look identical, I just don't know if the clock can be extracted without tearing up the bezel.
