Looking at the pictures, do you think the upgraded stereo from the SR5 would fit the SR ??

It will be interesting if it does...

just get an aftermarket one itll be less then half the price, and if you get it fitted from dealer the normally buy back old head unit

this new gen of audio unit in the sr5 is great and now affordable. if you purchase a new sr ask the dealer for what the price is to update. i have seen a few go thru at my work but cant quote you an actual price. approx $1000 ???? (better than $4500 for the old sat nav)

the genuine unit is sat nav , divx avi compatible , bluetooth- voice recognition and so on.

(better than $4500 for the old sat nav)

how ridiculous was that price?!?!?..... even the sales guy was embarressed at the pricing when i bought an SR5 last year.

the asure was a much better proposition

The Sat nav is listed as an accessory on the Toyota page, so I would assume it would fit, as it obviously can't be an accessory for the SR5, cause it is already in it.

When I was getting my quote it was 1750 option on the SR

yeah the new screen with the reversing camera was a $2500 option that i didn't go for

I find the new Sr5 HU a very good FACTORY! deck. And i have seen a fare few.

Sound quality wise its very good. It has decent voltage coming out of the speaker out channels (checked at all frequencies)

sat nav works 99% of the time. except for some no through roads

I would never buy one though .

Ther are so many good satnav decks that will kill the toyota one and look like a factory fit with a bigger screen.

Does the SR even have sterring wheel controls?.
That would be the only reason i would want to hang on to it if i have to change one day. that day will come.

Here are some options:
Kenwood DNX4310DABNAV (dvd/nav/bt/dab/receiver)
Eclipse AVN827GA (dvd/nav/bt/receiver)
Clarion NX702A (dvd/nav/bt/receiver)
Pioneer AVIC-F40BT (dvd/nav/bt/receiver)
Orion AVR6.1 (dab/dvd/nav/bt/receiver)
JVC KW-AVX836NAV (dvd/nav/bt/receiver)
Philips CID2680 (dvd/nav/bt/receiver)

thanks for that info blkrota. I'm looking to upgrade my 2011 unit

No problem

I put the 2012 head unit (touch-screen, non-satnav version) into my 2007 SR5 - no worries about putting it into any Hilux! I wanted to keep the unit OEM for my Hilux since I also put in the OEM reversing camera in just this Sunday. Reversing camera is fantastic on the large screen.

The unit only cost me $350 as well.

Would be nice if I could get steering controls somehow on it though... but, that's ok... for now

how'd you manage to score it for $350?

EBay it was brand new in box apparently... too good a deal to pass up.

yes the SR has steering wheel controls and if you want to install a factory unit you will have to install a GPS antenna and it has some weird assed connecter that also has the radio antenna in it too, so that could be a pain to work around. The a-sure head unit support the steering wheel controls but you have to hard wire the cables and change the antenna plug back to standard as the connecters have changed since the previous model.

Hey man,
I have a 2008 sr5 and am putting a 2012 sat nav in i was just wandering where you got ur sat nav antenna and reverse camera

you can get the genuine cameras from the dealer, shop around, I was quoted a difference of near $400 for supply and fit between the mob I brought from, and a dealer on the south side - I went to the south side

You can get the genuine reverse camera off eBay... I did from sydneycityparts and installed it myself. It was the full kit with instructions. While those instructions estimates the installation time to be 1 hour... well, it took me 3... which ain't bad I think :p
