Step 4: Program Your Radio Functions to SWC Buttons
The RP4.2-TY11 allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality. Follow the programming instructions in your aftermarket radio manual to do this.

Step 5: Cycle Ignition if Necessary
If you do not initially hear any audio after installation, cycle the ignition again to initialize the factory amplifier.

Step 6: Use Real Time Fade Carefully
When using real-time fade, if the fader setting is biased more to the front or rear, as the radio turns on, the sound may begin at the default setting and then quickly transition to your custom setting.

Step 7: Avoid Aftermarket Radio Features
Aftermarket radio features such as high pass filters (crossovers), DSP or network mode can interfere with proper fader operation. Avoid using these features.
By following these instructions, you can install and use the RP4.2-TY11 interface for your Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicle.

Introduction and Features

The RP4.2-TY11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles and will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC) and the factory audio amplifier. This interface also allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality, and also provides outputs such as: vehicle speed signal (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.

Important Notes

1. These instructions only apply to R.3.1.2.46 or later revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the interface and packaging.
2.  Connection of the OBD connector, with the White / Red and White / Black wires, is not always necessary. Use of these wires will be dependent on whether or not the aftermarket radio requires specific connections, and whether the vehicle provides these outputs at the radio. See the “Installation Steps” section starting on page 3 for additional information.
3. Adjustment of the vehicle settings through the original radio’s vehicle settings menu will be disabled after installation of the new radio. It is advised to make sure all settings are as you desire prior to removal of the original radio.
4. The RP4.2-TY11 does not retain Rear Seat Entertainment.
5. After installation, if you do not initially hear any audio, you may need to cycle the ignition again to initialize the factory amplifier.
6.  Speaker fading on factory amplified systems is only supported with the “amplified output” connection of the RP4.2-TY11.
7. When using real time fade, if the fader setting is biased more to the front or rear, as the radio turns on the sound may begin at the default setting and then quickly transition to your custom setting.
8. Aftermarket radio features such as High Pass Filters (crossovers), DSP or “Network Mode” will interfere with proper fader function. In order for the RP4.2-TY11’s fader function to work, the audio from the aftermarket radio’s output must match so it can compare the front and rear audio levels and determine the proper fader setting for the factory amplifier.
9. The USB-TY1 or USB-TY2 must be purchased in order to retain the factory USB port. Please refer to www.pac-audio.com to see which harness you will need.
10.  The CAM-TY11 or CAM-TY12 must be purchased in order to retain the factory reverse camera. Please refer to www.pac-audio.com to see which harness you will need. If the required harness is not available, it is possible to hardwire the reverse camera using the information provided in Appendix A on Page 7.

Installation Steps

Set DIP switches that correspond with your radio to the ON position. Set all other DIP switches to the OFF position.

Alpine| JVC| Kenwood / Lightning Audio| Clarion / Nakamichi| 2-Wire Resistive| Pioneer / Other*| Sony| Fusion
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| 2| 1 & 2| 3| 2 & 3| 1, 2, & 3| 4| 1 & 4

• Other – Dual / Axxera (these brands could also have 2-wire resistive), Jensen, Rockford Fosgate

1. Set the Radio Select DIP switches according to the radio you are installing.
2. Wire the aftermarket radio harness per the tables to the right and the information below. If the aftermarket radio does not require connections for Vehicle Speed Sense, Parking Brake, or Reverse Signal, proceed to step “3”.
   •  If the vehicle does not use the 28-pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2), proceed to step “III” below. There are three different methods for obtaining the analog navigation outputs from the interface:
   1. Vehicles that have the analog signals at the radio: Plug the 28-pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2) from the RP4.2-TY11 into the vehicle harness. Find the Pink (pin 17), Light Green (pin 15) and Purple / White (pin 2) wires in the RP4.2-TY11 harness and check for wires populating these positions on the factory side of the connector. If the wires are present, you can use the analog navigation outputs coming from Vehicle Connector 2 in the PAC harness.
   2.  Vehicles that have CAN data at the radio: Plug the 28-pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2) from the RP4.2-TY11 into the vehicle harness. Find the White / Red (pin 9) and White / Black (pin 10) wires in the RP4.2-TY11 harness and check for wires populating these positions on the factory side of the connector. If the wires are present, you can use the “nav wires” coming from Interface Connector 4 in the PAC harness.
   3. Vehicles that do not have the CAN data or the analog wires at the radio: Insulate the Yellow and Black loose wires in the OBD-2 V3 connector (they will not be used). Connect the OBD-2 V3 connector to the vehicle’s OBDII connector (found under the dash on the driver’s side). Run the two wires from the OBD-2 V3 from the OBDII connection, up to the radio cavity in the dash. Next, unplug the 2-pin connector between Interface Connector 4 and Vehicle Connector 2. Connect the OBD-2 V3 2-pin connector into the 2-pin connector that comes from Interface Connector 2. This will allow for use of the “nav wires” coming from Interface Connector 4 in the PAC harness.
3. Wire your aftermarket radio to the RP4.2-TY11 harness according to the wiring connections chart on this page.
4. Once all connections have been made, plug the interface into the vehicle.
5. Turn the ignition on and set the gain on the side of the interface to the desired level. See “Testing and Verification” section on page 6 for further details on how to set the gain. If the radio does not turn on and the LED on the interface is solid orange, check the DIP switches on the side of the interface to make sure they are not all in the on position.

Testing and Verification

1. Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on and the +12v accessory wire will turn on.
2. Turn on the radio and check volume, balance and fade. If you do not hear any audio you may need to cycle the ignition to initialize the factory amplifier.
3. If the overall volume is too low, use the gain adjustment on the side of the RP4.2 interface to set it to the desired level. The best way to do this is to turn the volume on the radio to 3/4 volume, then turn the gain on the RP4.2 until some distortion is heard, then back it down a little.
4.  If you have a JBL system and there is no audio, please make sure the Blue / White wire in the radio connector is hooked up properly. If there is still no audio, reset the interface according to the procedure in the next section.
5. If fading is acting inconsistent, please ensure that all speakers are connected to the proper polarity.
6. Verify that all SWC are functioning properly. If any of the SWC are not functioning properly you may need to reset the interface or follow the re-calibration procedure above.
7.  The LED and radio will turn off when the ignition is turned off.

Restoring Factory Settings

You can restore the interface to factory default settings by pressing and holding the programming button on the side of the module until the status LED starts blinking red. Once the LED starts blinking red, release the button. You must release the button while the LED is blinking red in order to perform the reset. Please note, the LED will go through two stages before it starts blinking red. First it will blink green, then amber, then red.
This reset will restore the following settings to their factory defaults:
