Stinger HR9-TY003 9-Inch Trapezoid Radio Replacement Kit for Toyota RAV4 XA40 Series 2014–2018
The Stinger HR9-TY003 is a complete radio replacement bundle designed for the installation of a 9-inch trapezoid aftermarket head unit into the Toyota RAV4 XA40 Series from 2014 to 2018. The kit includes a 9-inch flush fit radio panel, steering wheel control retention interface, antenna adaptor, reverse camera retention interface and AUX/USB retention. Note that this kit is not compatible with RAV4 models equipped with the JBL sound system, and the fascia presents a 2mm step against the left-hand side air vent.
Product overview
The HR9-TY003 is one of the most comprehensive installation bundles in the Stinger range, covering the key factory feature retention requirements for the Toyota RAV4 XA40 in a single kit. The plug-and-play SWC interface retains the factory steering wheel audio controls and provides a reverse trigger output, while the reverse camera retention interface keeps the factory reverse camera operational with the aftermarket head unit. AUX and USB retention is also included, preserving the factory USB and auxiliary input connections.
One important exclusion to note: the HR9-TY003 is not compatible with RAV4 XA40 models fitted with the JBL premium sound system, as the factory amplifier is not retained by this kit. Additionally, due to the dash geometry of the XA40, the fascia will present a 2mm step against the left-hand side air vent after installation. This is a known characteristic of this application.
Features and benefits
Complete radio replacement bundle: Combines a flush fit radio panel, SWC retention interface, antenna adaptor, reverse camera retention interface and AUX/USB retention in a single kit for the Toyota RAV4 XA40 2014–2018.

Reverse camera retention interface included: The factory reverse camera is retained and operational with the aftermarket head unit via the included retention interface.
AUX and USB retention included: Factory AUX and USB connections are retained after the head unit upgrade via the included retention harness.
Antenna adaptor included: A factory-to-aftermarket antenna adaptor is included, covering the antenna connection without requiring a separate purchase.
Not compatible with JBL system models: This kit does not retain the factory amplifier and is not suitable for RAV4 XA40 variants fitted with the JBL sound system.
2mm step at left-hand side air vent: Due to the XA40 dash geometry, the fascia will sit with a 2mm step against the left-hand side air vent after installation.
