SR-TAC16HX

Stinger HORIZON10® Radio Replacement Kit for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Introduction and Features
The SR-TAC16HX is a complete radio replacement kit for the installation of the Stinger HORIZON10® modular radio in Toyota Tacoma trucks equipped with either 6" or 7" factory display radios. All modules, cables and adapters are included to retain important features of the factory system, including: steering wheel-mounted radio controls, factory amplifier, factory reverse camera, factory USB port and AM/FM reception. Plug & Play wiring harnesses allow for quick and easy installation without the need to cut or splice any wiring. The display mounting panel allows mounting the 10 inch display without modifying/cutting any part of the vehicle's sub-dash.

Important Notes

We recommend reading this manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with the entire process prior to beginning the installation.
1. Adjustment of the vehicle settings through the original radio's vehicle settings menu will be disabled after installation of the new radio. It is advised to make sure all settings are as you desire prior to removal of the original radio.
2. The RP4.2-TY11 does not retain Rear Seat Entertainment. 3. To retain SiriusXM Radio, a SXV300 Tuner is required and sold separately. 4. After installation, if you do not initially hear any audio, you may need to cycle the ignition again to initialize the factory amplifier. 5. Speaker fading on factory amplified systems is only supported with the "amplified output" connection of the RP4.2-TY11. 6. When using real time fade, if the fader setting is biased more to the front or rear, as the radio turns on the sound may begin at
the default setting and then quickly transition to your custom setting. 7. Radio features such as High Pass Filters (crossovers) will interfere with proper fader function. In order for the RP4.2-TY11's
fader function to work, the audio from the radio's output must match so it can compare the front and rear audio levels and determine the proper fader setting for the factory amplifier. 8. If the truck is equipped with a factory 360° camera system, changing camera views using the touch screen will no longer be available. Camera views can be changed using the steering wheel controls only. 9. For the HORIZON10 Display to be waterproof, you must install 6 waterproof plugs to the back of the touch panel display in the screw holes not used for mounting.

Step 7

Re-install the factory radio/air vent panel by aligning the retaining
clips and pushing until all the clips
engage.

Testing and Verification
1. Turn on the radio and check volume, balance and fade. If you do not hear any audio you may need to cycle the ignition to initialize the factory amplifier. If there is still no audio, reset the interface according to the procedure in the next section.
2. For JBL systems, if the overall volume is too low, use the gain adjustment on the side of the RP4.2 interface to set it to the desired level. The best way to do this is to turn the volume on the radio to 3/4 volume, then turn the gain on the RP4.2 until some distortion is heard, then back it down a little.
3. Verify that all SWC are functioning properly. If any of the SWC are not functioning properly you may need to reset the interface.
4. Verify AM/FM Reception, Bluetooth, USB, Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Camera(s) are functioning correctly.

RadioPRO App (continued)
Infotainment/Factory Amplifier Settings
The RadioPRO app will also allow you to adjust the settings of the factory amplifier. You can adjust Amp Gain, Fader, Balance, Bass, Mid and Treble and real time fade. When real time fade is enabled in amplified systems, it will allow fading to be controlled directly from the aftermarket radio. Restoring factory settings on the module will default all values back to middle.
Firmware Updates
The RadioPRO app will also allow you to update the interface with new firmware as it becomes available. Please visit www.pac-audio.com or contact our tech support department to see if there is a firmware update for your interface.
In order to update the interface all DIP switches must be set to the down position. Connect the interface to your PC and select "Update Firmware". Now select "Select File". Finally, browse to the place where you saved the file and select it. This will begin the updating process. Once finished, disconnect the interface from the PC and set the DIP switches back according to the radio you have installed.

Restoring Factory Settings
You can restore the RP4.2-TY11 interface to factory default settings by pressing and holding the programming button on the side of the module until the status LED starts blinking red. Once the LED starts blinking red, release the button. You must release the button while the LED is blinking red in order to perform the reset. Please note, the LED will go through two stages before it starts blinking red. First it will blink green, then amber, then red.
This reset will restore the following settings to their factory defaults: · SWC Mapping · Parking Brake Output Settings · Factory Amplifier Settings · Real Time Fade will be reset to on
