I just joined this site. I came upon your post about the 2001 Highlander console conversion. I also have a 2001 H/L and have thought about doing the same thing. I also thought about buying the console you wanted to sell. I just recently purchased a 2008 H/L for my wife and I kept the '01 and now decided to dress it up a bit. I was wondering if you still have the old console you wanted to sell for $50.00 + Shipping? If not, do you know of anyone who may have one for sale? I know this post is dated, but thought I would take a chance.
 
Thanks,
Ray

2007 Highlander stereo/steering wheel controls by silverltd
Mar 02, 2008 (7:48 pm)
Reply
I have a 2007 Highlander Limited and I can control most of the stereo functions from the steering wheel, which I like. I traded in my 2001 Highlander and I think this steering wheel function is great.
 
I'm thinking of upgrading the stereo system/head unit---does anyone know if I will lose functionality of the steering wheel controls if that is done? If possible, I would like to have at least an idea of the answer from actual Highlander owners versus relying on a saleperson's "assurances."
 
TIA.

Yes, steering wheel controls are nice to have. I have it on my other car.
 
I also have a 2002 Highlander. When I bought this one, I replaced entire system, including Head unit,speakers and added amplifier and
subwoofer. I did it because factory system was not up to my taste.
 
For your 2007 Highlander: What is the reason for wanting to upgrade?
If you are not an audiophile like me, if you like most part of your system, simply replacing factory speakers with quality speakers and
possibly adding an amplifier usually helps quite a bit.
 
Also, by replacing Head unit, in some cases, you may lose entire
capability to use steering wheel control. And most head units are detachable,which can be good and bad.
 
If you decide do upgrade, I'd go with reputable brand like Alpine or similar for head unit and amplifier. Also, spent on quality speakers
that you can actually hear the difference!
I'd shop from independent dealers specialize in auto sounds rather
than places like Circuit City or Bestbuy. If you go to the right places,
they will direct you to right system and make sure you get a clean,
perfect installation.
 
good luck.

I forgot to mention one thing. On many good aftermarket Head units,
they come with wireless remote control, which is very convenient. As long as you don't lose it.

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it. I'm not an audiophile, but I was hoping to get better sound from the system. From what you're saying, it sounds like I can probably just upgrade the speakers and that might do the trick. I really don't want to lose the steering wheel functionality and I have no complaints about the head unit in particular, it's just the overall "cheap" sound when I turn up the volume. I'd rather avoid adding a subwoofer because I don't want to give up any cargo space in the rear.
 
Thanks again, I'll go to an independent---there is a good one not far from me---and look into just upgrading the speakers.

2008 Highlander body - side molding by ronn
Mar 10, 2008 (5:34 pm)
Reply
I mentioned this on the 2008 Highlander post as well, but I am interested in knowing if anyone has added body - side molding to the 2008 Highlander? I have thoght about it, but don't want to take away from the looks unless it adds something? Many have told me that they don't help that much, not to invest in them. Any help would be appreciated on the subject.
 
Thanks, Ronn
