Great write up. Something I've thought of doing many times with my Honda.
The plugs will only fit on the correct wires, there’s no way to get it wrong
Haha, bet I could find a way to mess that up.

I wonder if there is an equally in-depth info for the ~~2004~~ 2024 4Runner. Have someone else who’s totally nontechnical who wants this done.
The 2004 4Runner never had any sort of modem, and only the Limited models had GPS - but that's purely a receiver for navigation and doesn't actually transmit anything.
This level of connectivity is a relatively recent thing.
Sorry, slip of the finger while distracted. I meant the 2024 4Runner.
Edit: jeez, my fingers are potatoes today.
I'd imagine the system in a '24 4Runner is very similar to that of the '24 RAV4.
If we start at the shift selector as per the article, it is radically different. It’s a solid stick, it has no boot.
