Remove the glove box. It's easy DIY.

Important part is: connect the speed sensor with ECM E6-pin # 22 (violet & white color wire). Optional to connect reverse switch plug IH1- pin # 20 (red & black color).

Route the harnesse from the right side under the glove box to the center dash. Ground the parking brake wire with any metal. . Look the radio and nav screen connected with custom harness.

For diagnostics info, connect the pink & black wires under the steering column cover.

I got some pics of nav map and rear trunk locations for nav ecm dvd. I grounded the parking brake wire with metal screw (pic). It is important if you wants to watch video while you in motion.

Do you know where I can get a harness to make the necessary connections on a non-nav RX?

Thanks.
