Another way of doing this and it doesn't cost anything other than time is to find the wire that connects from the stereo to the hand brake and attach to a permanent ground.

Not what I did to my 150, but what someone else did. Some idiot tradie in a van, probably on the phone, ran straight into the back of my Prado whilst I was stopped in traffic. He got my towbar straight into his number plate, unbelievably, not even a scratch on the towbar and no damage anywhere. Van had a nudge bar but it missed my bumper and spare wheel carrier. Checked underneath, towbar mounts, checked the panels for alignment, no problems. Was a decent hit too, I think I must have just started to take my foot off the brake hence I rolled fwd. In any case, HR towbar and Toyota strength (and abit of luck) saved the day.

Starbuck is right. The system uses speed and gps input to lock off controls whilst moving. Doing a handbrake earth won't stop it working.Last edited by Piggy; 13-08-2017, 09:48 PM.

On an offload trip last year I had the mirrors folded to avoid damage when hitting bushes and branches on narrow tracks. However, the ends of the mirrors and door handles got so badly marked by bush strikes that I was resigned to having them repainted. The Glacier White paint on my 2016 Prado turned out to be more robust that I thought, the marks all polished out. Then, on the last trip I used Bear cloth tape from Bunnings to cover the ends of the mirrors and door handles and this stopped any damage. Have just finished doing the same for a trip later this month. Doesn't look beautiful but it does the job, sticks very well out on the track but peels off cleanly when I get home.

Main reason I brought and install it so i can use full mobile function like dialing/ contact search etc n also use navigation while driving(passenger use). Now i dont have to stop on side of the road to use mobile or navigation. These are on factory headunit kakadu. Rest all function are same as before. Brought it from Japan n cost me $200 with shipping. Installation was 10 minutes job clip clip n one wire earth done.
And the next thing will be wifi mirrorlink. So phone display come on factory screen. Waiting for parts. Cheers
Has it worked out as good as it sounds Skprado?

Installed a Uniden UH9060 Today
Put the main unit under the drink holders, cut out one of the blank plates to put the handset connection. Tapped in to the 12v supply in the center console. Overall a very easy job. Hardest part was making a square hole in the blank plate.
