Radio Replacement Interface for Toyota: The CRUX SWRTY-61C is a radio replacement interface for select 2016-up Toyota vehicles. It facilitates the integration of an aftermarket radio to enable retention of certain factory features such as the factory back-up camera, auxiliary audio input, USB port, and steering wheel controls.
Vehicle Compatibility: The CRUX SWRTY-61C is supported by the following 2016-up Toyota non-JBL vehicles (as of 2/13/2020):
Make | Model | Year |
Toyota | 4-Runner | 2020-up |

Steering Wheel Control Compatible: The CRUX SWRTY-61C features a steering wheel control output for compatible aftermarket head units. The steering wheel control output consists of a right-angle 3.5mm connector and a blue/yellow wire (use the connection that your aftermarket head unit is fitted with). The SWRTY-61C will work with any of the listed aftermarket head units that feature a steering wheel control input using the appropriate connector and setting the interface module's eight dip-switches (see owner's manual for appropriate setting).
- 3.5mm Connector: Alpine, Clarion, Pioneer, Sony, Jensen, Older JVC, Boss, Dual/Axxera
- Blue/Yellow Wire: Kenwood, Newer JVC
Retains Backup Camera: The CRUX SWRTY-61C will retain your vehicle's factory back-up camera; the included harness contains a male composite video connector that plugs into the female composite video camera input on the back of your aftermarket head unit.
Retains USB Port: The included USB adapter allows you to retain the factory USB port. This port is handy for connecting your USB devices and keeping your smartphone charged. This USB adapter harness will work with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, except if your vehicle has multiple USB ports or if your new aftermarket radio doesn't have a high-amperage charging port (1.5A and greater).
Auxiliary Input Retention: You also get to keep your vehicle's factory 3.5mm Aux input. The included harness contains male stereo RCA connectors which plug into your aftermarket head unit's rear-panel Aux input. If your aftermarket head unit contains a 3.5mm Aux input, then you will need a female stereo RCA to male stereo minijack adapter cable (sold separately).
Navigation Outputs: The CRUX SWRTY-61C radio replacement interface module provides a VSS (vehicle speed sense), Parking Brake, and a Reverse Gear output to make installing an aftermarket navigation radio simpler and less time consuming.
