Allright, it went into my RAV OK except ...... the antenna. In the Kluger there were two antenna cables, one that looks like a large Headphone Jack and another that looks the same but is smaller. The smaller cable was not connected to anything so I don't know what it can be but the larger one was connected to a sheath that ran into a white square adapter plug that also had a black wire attached to it (ground?). The adapter plugged into the back of the Kluger's radio. In the Rav there was only the large antenna jack that plugged straight into the Rav's radio. I found the connector on Ebay so hopefully it will fit. This is what I needed: Funnily enough the radio does work if I ram the Rav's antenna jack into the place where the white adapter plugs in, it just wont stay there (even with blu tak) :)

I also just installed this unit in my 2012 KX-R. I got it directly from Dig Options web site which is cheaper than Ebay ( as ebay includes the reversing camera for an extra $30 but as we already have one). So I paid $440 including delivery which only took 2 days ! I installed the unit myself, here are some of the challenges I overcame: The radio reception was poor after installation, couldn't get any AM stations. Turns out that our cars have a antenna booster that requires 12V power and the harnesses supplied with the unit did not cater for this. So I attached a wire from the Control Port harness (steering controls, only has 3 wires) labeled 12V to the black wire that is taped up with the antenna cables in the dash. Interesting that there was a smaller antenna cable taped to the main one but it wasn't connected to anything in the standard setup? After this I can get all radio stations with good reception. The TTS (Text to Speech) voices in the GPS would not work - this means no spoken street names. The non TTS voices were fine but my wife said she can't live without spoken street names. As this unit is running on a Windows CE 6 system and I am a geeky programmer I saw this as a challenge. I managed to replace the I-Go8 with a newer IGo Primo version that had the TTS dll's and now I have the spoken street names working and a newer GPS software running on the unit. I wanted to install the reversing camera but when I saw all the wires going into the current small reversing camera screen I lost my nerve. I was expecting a simple RCA plug. In order for the DVD player to work you are suppose to connect a wire from the harness to the hand brake so that by law you can only watch content while the hadbrake is up, I would have no idea where the handbrake cable is so thanks to some other forums and a hint on the Dig Options web site I ran this wire to one of the Ground connections and now the player works anytime. I ran the Ipod connection cable and the USB connection cable into the glove box, no drilling neccessary they feed straight through. I have a 64Gb USB stick plugged into it with enough music to last me to the end of my Kluger days. I did not need a Blue Tooth microphone as it turns out the unit has it built into the front under the display. The person on the other end can hear me but it is a bit soft but easier than installing a microphone into the car. I can highly recommend this Dig Options unit. For that price it does everything the more expensive units do and more. Dig Options responded to every single one of my e-mails and helped me out over the phone. In fact the only thing I can complain about is the fact that playing content via USB does not have a shuffle option and the "up" and "down" buttons on the steering wheel do not change radio stations, they initiate a station search. They do however work fine to change tracks when listening to music.

I also found this to be the best option for the price. Did you connect the reversing camera to show on this units screen? I believe it is possible. Also did the existing hands free microphone fit this unit or did you have to install a new mic?

Hi, I'm on my third Toyota in Australia. I just sold my 2002 Rav4 Edge and replaced it with a 2012 Kluger KX-R. That is what my wife will be carting the kids around in. I am driving a 2003 Rav4 Extreme which is a Half-a-Rav (i.e. a 3 door) - not the most manly car but it gets me to work and back. I have been contracting at Toyota CHQ in Port Melbourne for approx. 10 years and finally got around to buying a fleet car off them which I picked up last week (thats the Kluger I mentioned). First thing I am going to tackle is putting in a Sat Nav system and if I manage that on my own I will try bigger things. Cheers Richard

I am looking at putting in a DigOptions Sat Nav system into my 2012 Kluger KX-R and I was wondering if anyone would know if the Kluger radio I take out will fit into my 2003 Rav4? I am hoping that Toyota use the same plugs and I will not have to change the harness.
