I checked roughly how much shipping would cost roughly 10$ for shipping with no tracking, I'm not too concerned it's a pretty rare occurrence for mail to disappear. And you are correct, it's a mission to have precise work done in my area, i called a bunch of electronics repair places in the biggest city in the area which is 350kms away, and they all pretty much said they wouldn't touch it. Another good example is when I go FI, the nearest place to get a decent tune is about 750kms away aswell. The joys of living in Northern Ontario. @Tech you honestly have no idea how much this means to me and how much I appreciate it. Million thanks!

No problem. Yes the mic wires are on large pads and can easily be unsoldered with a standard iron. If you supply your own LEDs then that's fine too just make sure they are the correct size.

With the T7019A can we still use the factory usb port to connect our phones to the radio? Since it uses the oem wiring harness?
Also, I think I read that the mic isn't that great, would it be worth soldering a whole new one in? If so can you provide a link to one that would do the job? Is there any other bugs, or things that dont work with the T7019A unit? Don't feel like reading 25+ pages of posts ;P

Bugs: Unfortunately yes. I have found workarounds for most of the big ones preventing apps from installing/running, and have even started incorporating permanent solutions into a re-cooked ROM. The main ones left that I can think of are
But this is really starting to get off-topic for this thread - post any follow up questions on the other thread. I would also recommend reading the last 5-odd pages (43+) of that thread - that's where things start delving into the software issues. Back on topic - I'm now a card-carrying member of the 600nm+ club. My LEDs are 630nm. Still a smidge too red I think, but not enough to do anything about. @Trap63 - yours were 625, right? How do yours compare? Too red or orange? |

Mine are 630nm and 160mcd at 20ma. The color is exactly the same that the other on the dash.
Regarding audio, no trouble, I can listen my music, mp3 on an usb stick, with PowerAmp without the help of the stock player. When I am with TomTom, the sound diseappears to allow the tomtom advices and revert. I am waiting a hub to connect the music stick using the original port with the help of the adaptator harness, the wifi key delivered with the head unit and the bluetooth for torque. For your guidance, wifi is funtionning when connected on the front usb although music is read though the original port. Unfortunately it appears that bluetooth is not read with this but it could depend of the key. To date I cannot pears same with the ELM327. I'm waiting a new key.This occured also with a TNT key for using SDR, well functionning with the rear usb but not in front usb together with rear in use. I will pursue my try. |

Well I am smiling from ear to ear. Hell I don't even own one of these units, but after taking the plunge and doing this LED swap for @nzer, I am really loving the pictures you guys are putting up of your finished units!
There is something that is quietly warming when I do this kind of thing and then see others follow suit. Makes the effort all worthwhile for me. If there is anyone else who has used my DIY (or planing to) and not yet posted the results, PLEASE, PLEASE post a picture. |

The only thing keeping me from from buying this is confirmation that torque will work via USB. I know Bluetooth works but using a slower mobile connection for something that is a permanent install doesn't sit well with me. Can anyone confirm? Really nice work on the LED change!

@nzer
It is not necessary to touch the track buttons, only move the album cover from on side or the other to change the track and up or down to change the album. I only use the read button to start playing. I like PowerAmp as it keep in memory the album and the track when you stop it. I think it is not the case with stock music player. The egaliser is really awesome as it is possible to obtain a very good sound with the stock equipment (medium and tweeter on dash, medium on doors and tweeters rear)I also tried Winamp which I use daily on my computer but I was really dashed and do not retained my attention. @pixel67 I dont believe that the unit can read Torque with USB as the soft is only intended to be used with Bluetooth connection. |

I know the parrot system can do torque over usb. Didn't know if this rooted would do it though...

The stock music player DOES remember track and playlist/directory and starts where it was up to. The original Toyota OEM unit here doesn't but the android unit does.

No scary moments during soldering where you thought - "damn, hope that still works"?
