USER MANUAL RP4.2-TY11 PAC
Introduction & Features
The RP4.2-TY11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles and will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC) and the factory audio amplifier. This interface also allows you to program two radio functions to each SWC button by using short press long press dual command functionality, and also provides outputs such as: vehicle speed signal (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger and parking brake.
Important Notes
- These instructions only apply to R1.1.1.35 or earlier revisions. The revision info can be found on a small white sticker on the interface and packaging.
- Connection of the White / Red and White / Black wires is not always necessary. Use of these wires will be dependent on whether or not the aftermarket radio requires specific connections, and whether the vehicle provides these outputs at the radio. See the "Installation Steps" section starting on page 3 for additional information.
- 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.
- The RP4.2-TY11 does not retain Rear Seat Entertainment.
- After installation, if you do not initially hear any audio, you may need to cycle the ignition again to initialize the factory amplifier.
- Speaker fading on factory amplified systems is only supported with the "amplified output" connection of the RP4.2-TY11.
- 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.
- Aftermarket radio features such as High Pass Filters (crossovers), DSP or "Network Mode" will interfere with proper fader function. In order for the RP4.2-TY11's fader function to work, the audio from the aftermarket 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.
- The USB-TY1 or USB-TY2 must be purchased in order to retain the factory USB port. Please refer to www.pac-audio.com to see which harness you will need.
- The CAM-TY11 or CAM-TY12 must be purchased in order to retain the factory reverse camera. Please refer to www.pac-audio.com to see which harness you will need. If the required harness is not available, it is possible to hardwire the reverse camera using the information provided in Appendix A on Page 9.

| 1 2 1 & | 2 3 1, 2, & 3 4 | 1 & 4 |
* Other - Advent, BOYO, Dual, Jensen, Lightning Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Visteon
- Set the Radio Select DIP switches according to the radio you are installing.
- Wire the aftermarket radio harness per the tables to the right and the information below. If the aftermarket radio does not require connections for Vehicle Speed Sense, Parking Brake, or Reverse Signal, proceed to step "3".
a. If the vehicle does not use the 28 pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2), proceed to step "III" below. There are three different methods for obtaining the analog navigation outputs from the interface:
I. Vehicles that have the analog signals at the radio: Plug the 28 pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2) from the RP4.2-TY11 into the vehicle harness. Find the Pink (pin 17), Light Green (pin 15) and Purple / White (pin 2) wires in the RP4.2-TY11 harness and check for wires populating these positions on the factory side of the connector. If the wires are present, you can use the analog navigation outputs coming from the Vehicle Connector in the PAC harness.
II. Vehicles that have CAN data at the radio: Plug the 28 pin connector (Vehicle Connector 2) from the RP4.2-TY11 into the vehicle harness. Find the White / Red (pin 9) and White / Black (pin 10) wires in the RP4.2-TY11 harness and check for wires populating these positions on the factory side of the connector. If the wires are present, you can use the "nav wires" coming from Vehicle Connector 2 in the PAC harness.
III. Vehicles that do not have the CAN data or the analog wires at the radio: Connect the long White / Red HS-CAN+ wire to pin 6 and the long White / Black HS-CAN- wire to pin 14 in the OBDII connector (Fig.1). This will allow for use of the "nav wires" coming from Interface Connector 4 in the PAC harness.
-
Wire the Yellow, Red, Black and Blue / White wires from the harness labeled "Connect to Aftermarket Radio" to the wires on the aftermarket radio harness. The Red / White wire is optional (see page 7 for further details).
-
Wire the speaker wires from Interface Connector 4 to the speaker wires on the aftermarket radio harness. The Blue / White and Brown wires from Interface Connector 4 will not be needed. Insulate the unused wires and ignore the remaining Brown Loop (not needed).
-
Depending on the aftermarket radio, either the Blue / Yellow wire or the 3.5 mm Jack (not both) SWC Outputs will be used.

Optional Steering Wheel Control Programming
If you wish to re-assign the SWC functions, utilize short press long press dual command functionality, or assign the programmable 12v output to a SWC button, the interface must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart on page 5. If you come across a function in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press and release the programming button on the side of the interface to skip that function. The LED will flash off and on confirming that you have successfully skipped that function and are ready to proceed to the next one.
Short Press Long Press Dual Command Functionality
This feature allows you to assign two aftermarket radio functions to each of the vehicles SWC buttons. It can be used with as many of the buttons as the user likes or none at all. When this functionality is implemented, quickly pressing and releasing a SWC button will initiate the short press command while pressing and holding a SWC button for longer than two seconds will initiate the long press command. Please note that no long press commands are programmed by default. If you wish to assign dual command functionality to the SWC please follow the programming steps below.
Programmable 12v Output
The Red / White wire on the interface can be programmed via the RadioPRO app to do a pulsed, or latched 12v output, which can then be assigned to any of the vehicle's factory SWC buttons. When assigned, the factory SWC button will activate the pulsed or latched output to control external accessories. Please refer to page 7 for more details on how to use the app to set this feature.

After you have re-calibrated the SWC buttons, the default SWC button assignments will be the same as what is listed in the chart on page 4. If you wish to re-assign button functions you must also go through the programming process on page 5.
Testing & Verification
- Turn the ignition on. The LED on the interface will turn on and the +12v accessory wire will turn on.
- 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 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.
- If you have a JBL system and there is no audio, please make sure the Blue / White remote wire in the radio connector is hooked up properly. If there is still no audio, reset the interface according to the procedure in the next section.
- If fading is acting inconsistent, please ensure that all speakers are connected to the proper polarity.
- Verify that all SWC are functioning properly. If any of the SWC are not functioning properly you may need to reset the interface or follow the re-calibration procedure above.
- Verify that the programmable 12v+ output is functioning as intended.
- The LED and radio will turn off when the ignition is turned off.
Restoring Factory Settings
You can restore the 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
- Programmable 12v+ Output (Latched)
- Parking Brake Output Settings
• Factory Amplifier Settings
• Real Time Fade will be reset to on
RadioPRO App
Use of the RadioPRO App allows you to do the following:
- Configure User Interface Options such as:
-
Programmable 12v Output behavior
• Aftermarket radio Parking Brake Sequencing
• Factory amplifier settings (Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain, Fader and Balance)
• Real Time Fading -
Update Product Firmware
- Read Firmware/Hardware Versions
- Access Product User Manuals

PLEASE NOTE:
The interface must be connected to the vehicle when using the following features of the Radio PRO App:
• Programmable 12v Output Behavior
• Factory Amplifier Settings
The interface does not need to be connected to the vehicle when using the following features of the Radio PRO App:
- Firmware Updates
- Reading firmware/hardware versions
Programmable 12v Output Wire
The Red / White wire can be programmed to do a pulsed or latched trigger that is controlled by a user assigned steering wheel control button, or it can be set to provide an output when triggered by the vehicles foot brake, door or trunk. Select User Interface Options then set the behavior of the Red / White wire using the drop down menu. PLEASE NOTE: Available triggers depend on what info is available on the vehicle's data bus. Restoring factory settings on the module will default this wire's output back to a latched SWC trigger.
Trunk - This selection will provide a 12v+ output on the Red / White wire whenever the ignition is on and the trunk is opened.
Alpine - If you select the "Alpine" setting on the drop down menu, the Red / White wire will then work in conjunction with the parking brake output to produce the necessary sequencing for settings menu access. This sequencing is based on the actual parking brake, meaning to produce this sequence you have to engage the parking brake in the vehicle. If you would like to manually do the necessary foot brake/parking brake sequencing for Alpine, select the "Foot Brake" setting (if available) and the Red / White wire will output a 12v+ signal whenever the signal is available and the foot brake is pressed.
Door - This selection will provide a 12v+ output on the Red / White wire whenever the signal is available and any door on the vehicle is opened.
Footbrake - This selection will provide a 12v+ output on the Red / White wire whenever the signal is available and the foot brake is pressed.
Latched - This selection will provide a latched 12v+ output that can be tied to any of the vehicles SWC. This means that when you press the assigned SWC, the Red / White wire will turn on and remain on until the assigned SWC is pressed again or the ignition is turned off.
Pulsed - This selection will provide a user programmable timed 12v+ output that can be tied to any of the vehicles SWC. This means that when you press the assigned SWC, the Red / White wire will pulse for the pre-programmed user time. The range for pulse time is 100 milliseconds - 25.5 seconds (.1-25.5).
RadioPRO App (cont.)

Pioneer Parking Brake - Turning this feature on will make the parking brake output produce the necessary sequencing for settings menu access. This sequencing is based on the actual parking brake, meaning to produce this sequence you have to engage the parking brake in the vehicle. If you would like to manually do the necessary parking brake sequencing for Pioneer, simply leave this feature off. Restoring factory settings on the module will default this setting back to off.

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.

RadioPRO App (cont.)
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.
