I spent years writing about cars and motorsports for some magazines you might've heard of (emphasis on 'might've') despite having only the most basic understanding of what a carburetor does. It was that experience writing about cars that drew Crutchfield's attention.

I began as a freelance contributor, using their vehicle research to write articles explaining how to install audio gear in specific vehicles.Things went so well that they brought me in as a fulltime writer and eventually made me an editor. Now I continue to write those vehicle profiles, other web features, product descriptions, and Crutchfield catalog articles. Let's just say I know some pretty cool stuff that'll help you install your car or marine audio system. Hopefully you'll have some fun along the way.Before I joined the Crutchfield team, I honestly thought that good audio was anything loud enough to annoy pets and/or the neighbors. I was completely and amazingly wrong. The house sounds awesome these days and the latest car is next. And yes, we'll probably write an article about that, so stay tuned!

In brief: This Crutchfield Research Garage article gives you an overview of your RAV4's stock stereo system and your aftermarket upgrade options. Use to find the gear that will fit your Toyota.Overview of the Toyota RAV4When it comes to so-called 'cute utes,' the Toyota RAV4 is one of the best around. The third-generation model, which debuted in 2006 and lasted until 2012, was extremely popular with both press and public for its ride, handling, and overall non-truckiness.A small SUV is nothing more than a modern interpretation of what we used to call a station wagon anyway, so if you're looking for a vehicle that drives like a car and hauls like a truck, the RAV4 is an excellent choice.

Replacing the factory stereo is a good choice, too. The RAV4's standard radio (Crutchfield Research Photo) Factory stereo systemThe RAV4's stock system was your basic AM/FM/CD/MP3 receiver with 6 speakers. Sport and Limited models could be had with a 9-speaker JBL system that included an in-dash multi-disc receiver and built-in Bluetooth® capability. An optional DVD-based rear seat entertainment system was also available.Towards the end of the third-gen RAV4's production run, a touchscreen nav system appeared on the option sheet. The RAV4 also included Toyota's Entune telematics, a satellite service available to SiriusXM users and compatible with select cell phones via app.These systems aren't awful, but they're not exactly outstanding, either. If you care about sound, you'll want to upgrade the audio in your RAV4.

If you replace either factory radio, you'll lose the factory AUX input connection. This is no big deal, since nearly every aftermarket receiver out there has at least one of those inputs and most have more. The optional JBL package included this receiver. (Crutchfield Research Photo)Replacing your factory radioReplacing the radio isn't especially challenging, but if you're working with a JBL system (signified by a 'JBL' logo on the face), there's a bit more to the job. Regardless of which radio you're replacing, you'll use the same dash kit. The difference is that if you're dealing with the JBL, you’ll also need a special wiring harness that retains the amp.It may seem odd for an aftermarket car stereo retailer like Crutchfield to recommend retaining the stock anything, but in this case, keeping the JBL amplifier makes sense for a couple of reasons.First, if you replace it, you’ll have to run new wires from your new radio to each of the speakers in order to bypass the amp. This is a time-consuming job for even the most experienced car audio installers, so we really don't recommend it for first-timers.

Second, even though you're retaining the stock JBL amp, you'll still hear a noticeable change in sound quality because your new receiver sends a much cleaner signal to the amp. In other words, you can get better sound without doing a whole lot of work. What's not to like? With step-by-step disassembly instructions and plenty of up-close, detailed photos, our exclusive ™ takes the guesswork out of removing the factory stereo and speakers.

It's free with your Crutchfield order, or you can purchase one separately for just $9.99.PAC offers a Toyota Factory Integration Adapter (TATO) to plug into the factory harness and keep the JBL system’s amplifier working. It's important to note that your new stereo must have two sets of preamp outputs in order to connect to the TATO adapter. Crutchfield offers a very nice discount on this special adapter, and we'll also give you a great deal on the mounting kit.That said; if you really DO want to replace the factory amp and start over, we'll be happy to helpAt least the receiver itself isn't hard to deal with. You'll start by prying out the side trim panels, starting at the bottom edge and carefully releasing the retaining clips. Once those are out of the way, remove the four 10mm bolts securing the radio bracket, pull out the radio to release the clips, and disconnect the wiring harness and antenna.With some aftermarket receivers, you'll need to use the factory radio's brackets in order to install your new receiver.

Cwcheat cheatpops db s. What does it do for me?

If you don't have the brackets anymore, you can obtain a new set from your dealership.Tools needed: Panel tool, 10mm driver Steering wheel audio controlsIt's relatively easy to retain your RAV4's steering wheel audio controls when you install a new stereo. When you, our database will choose the adapter you need to make your factory steering wheel controls work with your new receiver.Replacing your factory speakersInstalling aftermarket speakers will really transform the sound in your RAV4.

The base and JBL speakers (shown) look different, but they're in the same locations and replacing them involves the same basic steps. (Crutchfield Research Photo) Front doorsThe RAV4's front doors contain a pair of 6-3/4' stock speakers.

The 4-ohm non-JBL swap is reasonably straightforward, but there are some installation details to note before you start. The JBL system offers some different challenges, but isn't hard to work with.Base system: A variety of 6-3/4' or 6-1/2' speakers will fit in this location.

You'll need adapter brackets for the smaller speakers, and they're available at a deep discount with your Crutchfield speaker purchase.Getting to the speakers requires removing the door panel, which is relatively simple on the RAV4. It also involves a bit of drilling, which is less simple.The drilling part isn't hard (you're simply removing rivets), but any time you're using a drill on anything, it's important to work carefully and wear eye protection. Your Crutchfield MasterSheet™ (free with purchase) contains detailed, illustrated instructions for the entire process.The front tweeters and the door woofers are wired together at each tweeter location, so when you replace the tweeters, you'll have to splice the input and output wires together to keep the woofers working. Will make this a lot easier, and you'll use a couple more to connect the tweeters to the factory wiring.The tweeter is glued to the factory bracket, so be very careful when you're separating the two. A little bit of patience can prevent a whole lot of damage. Once that's done, you'll need a way to mount the replacements, since there isn't an aftermarket bracket for this location.

You can cut and bend our to hold the new tweeter in place.Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, 10mm driver, drill with drill bitJBL system: Replacing the JBL speakers is largely the same as above, but there are a few minor differences. For one thing, when you're replacing the 2-ohm JBL woofers (and tweeters), it's important to note that using higher-impedance speakers will result in lower volume levels.

Your Crutchfield advisor can help you choose appropriate replacements.The tweeter bracket is secured to the vehicle with two 1/4' screws, so you'll need to remove those before you disconnect the harness. The tweeter itself is glued to the bracket, so be careful when you're separating them. It's easier than you think to ruin the bracket if you lose patience and apply too much brute force.Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, 1/4' driver, drill with drill bit.

Replacing the RAV4's rear door speakers is relatively simple. (Crutchfield Research Photo) Rear doorsReplacing the rear door speakers starts with removing the door panels. A variety of speakers will fit, and the adapter brackets for the smaller speaker are available at a deep discount with your Crutchfield speaker purchase.Base: The process here is similar to what you did up front, including the rivet-drilling.

Be patient, wear eye protection, and pay attention to what's around where you're drilling.You'll also want to check the drilling depth and location to avoid damaging the vehicle. Your MasterSheet contains detailed, illustrated instructions for the entire process.Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, 1/8' drill and drill bitJBL: The JBL system's rear speaker replacement process is also similar to the front door version.

Unlike the non-JBL system, you won't have to do any drilling. You will have to pay attention to the impedance of your new speakers for the reasons noted above.

In addition to the 6-3/4' or 6-1/2' speakers that will fit into the RAV4's doors, the JBL version lets you choose from a variety of 5-1/4' models.Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, small flat blade screwdriver. JBL-equipped RAV4's have a subwoofer mounted in the tailgate. (Crutchfield Research Photo)Bass in your Toyota RAV4The RAV4's rear cargo door opens horizontally and to the right. That undoubtedly works fine in driveways and parking lots, but if you're parked on the street, loading or unloading is going to be a bit awkward. It’s probably one of those things you just get used to.On the upside, replacing the factory 8' dual voice coil sub found in JBL-equipped models is a lot easier with this layout than it would be if the door opened vertically. So there's that.It's not a bad sub (Any sub is better than none, right?), but an aftermarket model will give you a lot more bottom-end power.

Aftermarket replacements are available, but you’ll be limited to shallow mount subwoofers, and even then, the pickings are slim. There’s only about 2-1/4” of depth available in that door.Again, our Sales Advisors can help you find a workable replacement.

A speaker wiring adapter is not available, so you’ll need to splice the wires. A couple of those Posi-Products wiring connectors we mentioned earlier will do the job.”. The RAV4's cargo area offers plenty of space for a subwoofer or two. (Crutchfield Research Photo)Another thing to look forward to (or not) is drilling out the four rivets that hold the stock sub in place. This isn't a difficult thing if you have any experience at all with a power drill, but any time you're using a drill on anything, be careful.This is a 2-ohm subwoofer that receives only bass frequencies from the factory amp, so remember that replacing it with a higher-impedance speaker will often result in lower volume levels.Tools needed: Panel tool, drill with drill bit Adding more bass to your RAV4Without the third-row seat, you have a 42' W x 17' H x 32'/35' D space available for a. If you actually use that third seat on a frequent basis or need to retain room for stuff and things in your RAV4, a will give you plenty of bottom end thump without taking up the majority of your cargo area.There's also a 35' W x 19' H x 8' D space available under the cargo floor, so keep that in mind when you're shopping. The Kenwood CMOS-230 rear-view camera Other options for your RAV4There are lots of things you can do to make your RAV into an even better all-around vehicle.

Here are few ideas. NavigationAn aftermarket would be a great addition to your RAV4, because there’s plenty of room behind the dash. Not only will you get great directions, but you'll love using the big touchscreen to control your audio system.

Rear-view cameraEven in a small SUV, parking lot maneuvers can be challenging. If you upgrade to a big-screen DVD or nav receiver, look for one with a connection. The subtle little cameras can be a big help when you're backing out of a tight space. SecurityInstalling a security system in your RAV4 isn't easy (security systems rarely are), but it's less complicated than it could be. Our Crutchfield Advisors can help figure out what you need to get the job done, but we usually recommend taking your car and new gear to a professional security system installer.

Aurora Fowler from AUSTINPosted on 6/14/2017I have a 2007 Rav 4 Limited with a blown subwoofer on cargo door. I am replacing it with a powered sub that I purchased from you (Sound Ordnance B-8P - en route). Can I assume that I will need access to the amp that's located on the right side of the cargo door? I've disconnected the blown sub & leaving it there as there is no real replacement for it.

The Master Sheet Crutchfield sent me does not have much info on sub installation. Does the B-8P come with a usable wiring diagram?. Jim from Mount Airy, MDPosted on 2/20/2017Thank you for the reply. I often switch the ignition from ON to ACC to stop the engine while waiting for my passenger to run an errand.

When I switch the ignition to START, the head unit reboots, which is annoying and most inconvenient when using Bluetooth, navigation, etc. I found a wiring schematic for my Rav4 which indicates that the ignition does not open the continuous power circuit, suggesting that my head unit does not tolerate the drop in voltage while cranking (I have only a digital multimeter which reads 10V when the starter is engaged). Is this not a common problem for which there is an off-the-shelf solution (supercapacitors, battery packs, etc.)?. Jon Paulette from CrutchfieldPosted on 2/20/2017Jim, 'By 'rebooting,' do you mean that it acts like this is first time the stereo has ever been turned on? If that's the case, then it sounds like the constant power wire might not be connected to the correct place. If you purchased the stereo from Crutchfield, give us a call and our tech support team will help you out.

If you purchased your equipment elsewhere, you can still get expert Crutchfield Tech Support - 90 days-worth for only $30. Check out our for details. Jim from Mount Airy, MDPosted on 2/19/2017My touchscreen head unit reboots when I start my 2009 RAV4 (non-JBL).

Installing two 2200uF capacitors (in parallel) to the red ACC wire (in series with a 1A diode) keeps the head unit on for about 10 seconds after switching the ignition off, but it still reboots when cranking. Does the ignition open the continuous power circuit when in the Start position or is this merely due to voltage drop from the starter? Surely this is a common problem; what do you recommend?. Heather from Portland, ORPosted on 5/3/2016I'm hoping to get some advice for replacing my stock unit in my 2014 RAV4, and most of the info I find is for older models. I am hoping to put in my old pioneer avh-p4300dvd. It is ready for Bluetooth and backup camera, with the purchase of additional components. What I'm unsure of is if I need to buy extra adapters to use the factory Bluetooth, microphone and backup camera.

Also the stock unit displays gas mileage and trip odometer. Is it possible to keep these features somehow?

I've replaced a few head units, but the complexity of this issue has me stumped. Going from a specific car to a specific head unit has made searches on the problem lacking in helpful information. LaDonna Weir from FranklinPosted on 3/5/2016Hello, I am wondering if you can help me out. I have an 07 RAV 4 limited, with the upgraded JBL system.

Recently it went out. The toyota mechanic says the 'amp went out' and it would cost me $400+ to replace it. I've been looking online for a used replacement and have found a few. Question for you.Is the amp inside the radio itself or is it a whole separate piece of equipment?

The radio itself turns on and off, I just have no sound. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Colin from Johnson City, TNPosted on 7/15/2015Hello. I have decided it is time to replace my subwoofer in my 2009 Toyota RAV4 - is has finally blown.

It is a limited model which includes a JBL stereo with an OEM 8 inch subwoofer. The sub is 2 ohms and has dual voice coils. It is mounted in the back door and is a shallow sub, about 2.5 inches deep. It is attached to the JBL OEM amp as well. I am not exactly sure of the amp and sub wattage. I also have a 10 inch box sub, 4ohm and I have a 400 watt amp to go along with it.

I am debating on ordering a new sub that is as similar to the OEM as possible or trying to add me old sub an amp. I truly appreciate your time and information. It is tough to find info on this topic.Load More Comments.
