It's not as slick as an OEM setup, but effective and pretty easy to install. Plus you get to keep the OEM look radio, which I prefer.

Aftermarket units are hit and miss, the reviews on Crutchfield are very helpful. Bluetooth and microphone performance in particular seem to vary greatly. Integrating with your steering wheel controls with an aftermarket head unit might be a challenge, I installed a nice navigation HU in a 2009 Chevy truck with Bose, integrating with the Bose amps and steering wheel controls took two different 3rd party conversion boxes. Doable, but not fun. Crutchfield customer service is top notch, if all else fails just give them a call to talk through your options.
Thanks, Matt.

The 4Runner is a beast and I am happy to be driving it. Since we bought it from you it has had zero issues and has been a phenomenal ride.

It is funny, but 10 years later the Highlander is the same size of the old 4Runner!
