radio screen damage

hello
I have a 2016 4runner limited jbl radio with XM. The tactile screen got buster and I cannot use it anymore. is there a part I can order in canada that will replace the screen as the radio still works via the steering wheel. Thank for you help much appreciated as I do not want to replace the entire unit

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I do not remember cost but heard the replacement is ridiculously expensive in the thousands.
Best bet would be post a wanted to buy both here and another large 4runner forum. Lots of people go aftermarket.
If that doesn't pan out, junk yard or it may be cheaper to go aftermarket.
Good luck

 

thanks
I know the radio is 1500 CAD wish I could only get the front as the radio still works.
the plate that is shattered is replaceable for 150 us

 

You will need to replace the digitizer panel that lays over the touch screeen. Google Toyota 4Runner 6.1” digitizer JBL replacement. You should find the part you are looking for. Shouldn’t cost more that $100 and can be done yourself in an hour.

 

Good info, thanks. Maybe it's the 2020 radios I read about are stupid expensive

 

Welcome from Wisconsin! About the radio... ya, I heard they were stupid expensive when we bought a '17 Tacoma, so we put "extended warranty" on the truck, luckily never a mishap with the radio, so now with the '20 4Runner my thought is, if you could fix it for a little.... fine. If not.. aftermarket would be the ticket. Old Red has the answer in post #6, very cheap fix considering the alternatives.

 

My digitizer is also shattered at the moment.. https://www.autotechnologyrepair.com/product/toyota-tacoma-4runner-6-1-inch-touch-screen-digitizer/

 

Is there a pdf for the install?

 

I don't think so, there are several youtube videos on replacing it though

 

Just wanted to revive this old thread. I recently fixed the digitizer on my unit as it cracked and was unusable. $20 part from eBay, 30 minutes later it’s fixed and working properly. Inexpensive repair for an expensive unit.

 

How much of the dash do you have to un-install? Is is just the plastic surrounding the screen?

 

Yeah the head unit itself is attached to the whole control panel which is held in by 4 bolts, and then just unplug all the wiring in the back. Takes about 2 minutes to get the head unit out of the vehicle.
