Australian Toyota Tarago vs JDM Estima Stereo Wiring

Difference between Australian Toyota Tarago and JDM Estima Stereo Wiring

Toyota Tarago have been one of the most popular people mover in Australia since 2000 as it offered style and space for growing families however in terms of comfort and features they do not offer much. Incomes JDM (Japan Domestic Market) imports of Toyota Estima.  JDM Imports rate very high on looks, comfort, features and price tag which is cheaper than buying a base Toyota Australia officially released Tarago.

One of the the major features difference is infotainment systems in both Tarago and JDM Estima.

Most Taragos till 2015 were sold with just basic CD players and only Ultima / some GLX models after 2010 came with Factory Navigation and single reverse camera. 

JDM Estima on the other hand came in various options since early 2000. 

1- Standard Basic Reverse Camera

2- Front and Back Camera

3- Surround 4 Camera System

4- Factory Navigation 

5- Factory TV Tuner

6- Factory Amplifier and High End Surround System, etc.

It is clearly visible from picture above that how different is wiring of JDM Estima units from Standard Single CD Australian Models.

Most of the supper cool features on JDM Estima are not retain-able unless you invest in:

1- Expensive Retainable wiring ( $600 - $1000) ( not guaranteed to retain all features)

2- Rewiring (Very Expensive)

Some of the wirings are standard across Australian and JDM models and EXTNIX harness supports them Plug'n'Play.
