Hi TRAvensisember, If you follow my instructions in the first post, then you will get speed through. It is pin 1 on the old 8 pin connector. If you have the original camera it should plug right in. I put USB in my glovebox, I didn't have a cut out for it in my 2010 Avensis. I'm not sure what location I would change the OBD too. Try pin 6 and 14 first.

Thanks.

It will be very useful. Replace the obd connection cables and connect the speed sensor, maybe it works. Where did you get the usb socket in the meantime? I could not find a socket for tape.

[alphamusic]

Good luck! I believe this is the one I used: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Cable-Adapter-Extension-for-Toyota-2012-Audio-Media-Music-Interface-/182437899589?hash=item2a7a256d45:g:at4AAOSwYHxWQceP

I am following the topic with great interest. Those of you who have seen my posts on improving and upgrading the what's on offer. I went the adding a Bluetooth/USB/microSD adapter route, and added a USB/AUX socket in place of the AUX only socket in the centre storage box - like later version of the Avensis. I am thinking about changing the adapter for a better version that plays bluetooth better and in stereo (the current adapter plays in mono), and displays artist/title info. I mainly use USB memory sticks.
The one thing I don't like about the Toyota system is the SatNav. It costs too much to update and the updates are out of date! I use a Nokia phone (I also use a Samsung) phone, and the Satnav through the cars voice only bluetooth works well, cutting in with directions. The best thing is that Here and Google maps are always up to date and free!   
The main advantage of the Nav version of the TR and upper models, are the reverse camera, and access to features that can be changes without going to the dealers - auto light sensitivity. If a Nav unit (with some of the car harness) is available at a good price I may consider, but for now I will stay stock. 

[alphamusic]

Hi Konrad, you've certainly added some valuable information to this thread! I agree that the built-in Nav systems aren't worth it. I didn't buy the Nav option for my 59006. 

I was hoping it would be possible to install a touch2 radio once they become more popular on the aftermarket, but I'm not sure if they were ever installed on the pre 2015 facelift models. There are some press releases from 2014, but most of the press releases are mid 2015, so I'm not optimistic. If it is available it has android auto and mirrorlink, so that could address the navigation issues. If anyone has any information let me know. If I manage to find one for a decent price I will try to do another guide.

Hi TRAvensisember, I didn't hook up the brightness. I live in a country where lights must be on at all time. It is possible to change the brightness in the radio's menu. Most of the time the brightness is best on high. It only occasionally bothers me to have it set to day mode on very dark unlit roads

Thank you. I have to do this. I want the screen to collapse spontaneously at night, maybe there are those who know where to connect. Thank you for your answers

I didn't think that T2 was directly compatible with Android Auto? Also afaik Mirrorlink only works on it with a few phones at a certain software level rather than being widely supported (for those that it does work with then you can probably mirror Android Auto from your phone).

You are right. I was looking up the radios on YouTube and saw a video "showing" Android Auto support on Touch 2, but most likely they were just faking it with mirrorlink. Probably not worth going out of my way trying to upgrade then.

I ordered these products. I will install when it comes to products.

I've found another pinout at the site in my last post for the 28 pin touch and go connector. It shows two CAN connections (H and L). 

 

Hopefully I can pull these signals off the OBD port pin 6 and 14. Looks like another task for when all the parts arrive for the next stage of the project.

Hi Alphamusic,

Did you connect to pin 1 in this photo or are you free?

[alphamusic]

Hi Travensisember, 

Those parts look good. Nice that you found a cheap 28 pin connector. I wanted to buy an aftermarket camera, so I went for a pre built adaptor, but if you are comfortable repinning the 28 pin connector, that should be a good solution. Going by my guide I left pin 1 empty, but it's a while now since I did it, so my memory is slightly foggy :) If you are having trouble when all the parts come I can try to take apart my dashboard again to have a look. I don't have any experience with the factory camera upgrade, but it's good you've found the cabling. Nice not to have to run that again. Where is the last picture taken? It could be helpful for other people adding the factory reverse camera kit.

Lastly, it looks like your original radio is different to my original radio. Mine didn't have DAB or the buttons along the bottom. Have you checked that it is a 20 pin connector? It's possible your radio doesn't have the same pinout as mine. If the colours are the same and they both of 20 and 8 pin connectors then you have the same pinout. If you are lucky, they changed to a 28 pin connector for your radio, and it will be plug and play :)

[FROSTYBALLS]

The DAB button is there for when the DAB module is fitted - the unit may not have DAB as standard.

thanks for the answer. I checked my tape sockets with my tape sockets exactly the same. When the relevant sockets arrive, I will begin assembly. If I succeed, I can add photos and videos. Thank you

hey 'Alphamusic', look what I found?

 

These illustrations are the wiring diagram of the 59006 coded tether.

In the last picture, the 6 pin socket 5.pin 'ill-' is not connected to us. Will the feature of switching to the night mode work when the headlights are turned on?

Hi, Yes, Ill+ and Ill- will need to be connected for it to work, but I'm not sure where you get the illumination signal from. Illumination isn't marked on the pin out I have for the old w53828 radio. Sometimes the - (negative signal is just ground. If you have found the Ill + (positive) signal, it would be worth trying connecting Ill - to ground.

Here is the pinout I got from Manicat's post. It's possible the illumination signal has another code I don't recognise here, so if anyone knows, please let me know.

There’s a 20-pin connector D15 with the following pin-out:
1 – Empty
2 – Empty
3 – Yellow (SPD / SNS)
4 – Empty (MIN+)
5 – Empty (MACC)
6 – Violet (SWG)
7 – Purple (SW1)
8 – Light blue (SW2)
9 – Empty
10 – Empty
11 – Empty 
12 – Empty
13 – Empty (MIN-)
14 – Empty (SGND)
15 – Red (AR1)
16 – White (ASGN)
17 – Black (AL1)
18 – Brown (AGND)
19 – Dark blue (AUX1)
20 – Empty

Next, the 8-pin connector D58 that does not fit in the new B9012 unit, has the following pin-out:
1 – Blue (SPD / SNS)
2 – White (MIN+)
3 – Black (MACC)
4 – Empty
5 – Red (MIN-)
6 – Green (SGND)
7 – Empty
8 – Empty

thanks for answer

The 5th socket appears blank in the standard radio sockets on the car.
Do we need to connect 'ill-'? If we need to connect, where do we connect it?

[TRAvensisember]

I made the head display assembly. Trip information did not work for now. I will check the connections again. When the headlights are turned on, it switches to night mode. I did not do anything special for that. I also connected the speed sensor cable. the tape can read the speed of the car so it automatically adjusts the radio sound as it accelerates.

 

my car 2011 Toyota avensis t27 keyless entry.

[alphamusic]

Well done TRAvensisember! It's a real sense of accomplishment getting everything working. I didn't have any luck with the trip info either. My guess is the info should come from the OBD port as I mentioned earlier, but I didn't get it to work.

[TRAvensisember]

Installation is complete.

Everything works except trip info.

[alphamusic]

Nice pictures! They will be very useful for anyone trying to install the original Toyota reversing camera. It allows you to get a feel for how big the job is. It looks like a lot of effort to cut out the holes for the reversing camera, but the final result looks very good!

Thank you for your help. when I opened the housing for the camera, I spaced it with a 2mm drill cap. then I fixed it with rasp and sandpaper. I dyed the process. I screwed the screws only on the original connection screws. Back to the 2011 model avensis has camera cable, but not active. The driver needs to disassemble the plastic at the bottom of the feet and find out the wiring.

 

you inspired me for this job :)

[TRAvensisember]

 

[alphamusic]

Nice montage! I'm glad to hear I inspired you to do the project.  I'm sure your video will help give people the confidence to install the stock reverse camera! 

Also for anyone wondering, aftermarket reverse cameras will also work with the 59006 head unit.
