Metra AX-TOYUSB-2 USB Port Cable

This cable works as designed, however finding where to use it is the trickier part. In my 2012 Toyota Tundra, I was able to remove the plastic cover underneath the glove box and then find the multimedia ECM to the left near the center of the truck. From there I was able to disconnect the brown adapter from the ECM and connect to this cable. I then ran the other end to the back of my new Kenwood receiver. After that, it worked without issue. The install for this small cable was frustrating due to lack of instructions. As good as Crutchfield is, this is one area where their knowledge was not complete.

Simple and effective, works great!

Simple and effect at retaining factory USB. On my particular car, 2011 Toyota Avalon, the factory plug was in an "ECU" behind the factory receiver. Just unplug factory wire from the ECU, plug it into this adapter, then plug the USB into your new receiver. Easy.

Great option for retaining factory USB

Perfect fit once you find out where it plugs into. On my Tundra it's on a module further in the dash in the passenger side and not the cable end that connects to the factory stereo.

Probably would have worked if it was the right thing.

This actually does not fit my tundra. The TRD package has usb and AUX together in a single wire so I bought a piece at the recommendation of an expert that I didn't need and couldn't use.

I'll just say the product works, bit the instructions were lacking. It took quite a bit of research on the web to find where to plug this thing in on my 2013 Tundra. Once I found it (behind the passenger dash after remove the bottom trim panel and squeezing my hand up in there) it was relatively easy to weave the wire back up towards the new unit.

Fits correctly on my 2010 Toyota Tundra but didn't end up working. I wanted to hook up to an Android Auto receiver. It would recognize the phone as a USB device but I could never get it to work with this and the truck wiring for Android Auto. I ended up buying a different USB adapter that replaced a cigarette lighter and it worked perfectly.

awful documentation nearly ruined the product

This was the last part I got working in my install. The instructions say to plug it into the multi-media interface ECU which it describes as "behind the head unit and to the right". The picture in the instructions is a joke, and does not accurate reflect my car at all. In reality, you do not plug it into the ECU, you instead take the existing cable out of the ECU and plug it into this. The ECU is in fact below and in front of the head unit in my vehicle (2011 Toyota Sienna), nowhere near where it is pictured in the instructions. I have not fully tested it, but it appears to work

I would not buy this. I read quite a bit about it and decided it wasn't worth the effort. No one can say for sure that CarPlay works through it. I also read that the installation is difficult. So I'm returning it.

Difficult to find where it plugs in!

This part took me forever to find where it plugs in, I thought Crutchfield sent me an incompatible part for me 2011 Tundra double cab with no JBL and no Navigation. For this part you must remove the glove box and panels below glove box. There is a metal box tucked back up in there near the center. The USB wire comes out of this box. Unplug the connector then plug it into the harness. Then the other end of this harness plugs into a USB port from your new head unit. Crutchfield should include special instructions for this part because it is difficult to find on your own. Once plugged in, it works fantastic.

Product works; instructions are horrible

The product works and to my knowledge is required to maintain factory USB port. BEWARE: to access the unit to plug it into you have to remove the glove box! The instructions are not clear on this. Thankful for having a Chilton book on hand to help out.

This is the cable that you need to have the factory USB work with the new radio. It was way more confusing to install that I expected. You would think this would simply plug into the back of the factory USB box and then straight into the new radio! NO! You have to find a separate box where the factory USB runs to, disconnect a wire there and then plug this into that box and then run it up to the new stereo! Took me hours to figure out how to do it on my 2011 Toyota Tundra CrewMax. I am having an issue where my phone and the new head unit drop when doing CarPlay and I can't tell if it's this cable, the new headunit that is dropping. There needs to be better directions for this cable on installation.

Works but not easy to find where to plug in

OK so the part works flawlessly once is plugged in right place. The tricky part is to actually locate the ECU. I have called Crutchfield. They did send me picture showing location. However there is nothing behind radio that even resembles anything to plug in to it. I did not give up and search for it. Its REALLY HARD to find it ,not in clear sight. You have to crawl under passenger dash, remove bottom panel with pry tool or screwdriver in three locations and then stick your hand close to center console above another module. Pull the brown connector from silver box (ECU ) and plug it in to AX-TOYUSB-2 USB Port Cable. I just drop the brown end of the connector from radio opening and reach to do it. Its not easy to see but is possible. Hope this will help next person !!!

Beware Android Auto Users With USB C Equipped Phones

This adapter works fine for standard setups, but you will have major issues and failures using Android Auto with this adapter, especially with phones equipped with a USB-C cable. I had to remove my adapter to get Android Auto to work and it all works great now without the adapter in place. If you use Apple CarPlay it will work fine. This is more a failure on Android Auto than the adapter.

After spending several hours and taking my entire dash apart trying to find out where this adapter goes, it turns out that it doesn't allow data transfer for my new head unit. It just says device unsupported. It allows charging but nothing else. Ended up running another USB cable from the radio and removing one of the factory blanks from the climate control to use Android Auto and Car Play.

This product fits a brown USB connector that is located behind the glove box of various Toyota models. Not True Of The 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium. I ripped apart my entire dash trying to find this elusive plug. In my vehicle, the plug is gray and is plugged directly into the back of the stock head unit. This adapter does not fit that plug. The PAC-USB-TY1 is the part you need. I hope this info saves someone the 2 hours of my life that I spent trying to find a way to make this part fit my vehicle.

Worked great! After Toyota installed an aftermarket Rosen navigation system in my Tundra the USB port didn't work anymore and Toyota failed to inform me of this and I didn't know until the installer told me. Wasn't happy but dealt with it. After finally getting rid of the Rosen unit and purchased the Pioneer NEC 8100 and seen this cable as a fix to use the OEM usb port. Worked great but getting to the connection is the trick. It's plugged into a module behind the glove box. Once you unplug take that plug and plug it into this cable then plug the USB into ur radio and it should work like a charm. Works for charging and data.

Works great on 2011 4Runner

The adapter works great, once you find the plug to connect it to. It does not connect to the USB connector in the glove box, but rather to a plug that is connected to a box behind the glove box/knee air bag. It would be helpful if it was a bit longer, as I had to remove the wire wrap on the stock loom in order to get have enough length to reach the aftermarket stereo.

Fits, works, but Clarion HU's do not like it.

Installed this on a 2010 Tundra. This will work on any Tundra gen2 or newer. You do have to find where it plugs in. Another review said it would not connect, they were trying to plug it directly into the factory port and it actually plugs into the metal control box behind the lower pass dash/glove box/knee air bag area. With a Clarion NX604 the cable will not allow transfer of data directly. You have to connect this adapter to the provided cable from Clarion. The HU will then play files but it is slower and more glitchy with it. I will likely return this cable due to these glitches and lagginess with the Clarion HU. Seems to work fine with other HU's. And does function with the provided cable from Clarion, just not perfectly. Also I installed a Crux SW adapter and that itself has a factory usb/aux audio output via rca, just will lose control through any HU.

Worthless

Worthless on a 2011 Toyota 4Runner. It has to attach to the head unit and the computer interface behind the glove box. I could not gain access to the area behind the glove box. Called Crutchfield tech support and they could not find out how to gain access either. I ended up not using this adapter and just ran the USB cable provided with the head unit to the interior of the cab.

Worked perfectly to connect my existing factory usb port to the Kenwood stereo I bought. If you remove the access panel underneath the passenger side dash, you can reach the metal box that has the factory plug. Pull out the brown factory plug and connect to this adapter. From there you just fish it up to the radio and plug it in.

Nifty nifty

Once I found out where to plug this, it worked perfectly! As long as you have a rear USB on your radio then you can keep the factory usb outlet on the dash. FYI: the brown part of this plugs into another brown connector behind the glove box, so you have to take that out. Nobody seemed to know that but its really very simple
