The AP4-TY12 provides a 6-channel pre-amp output for use with aftermarket audio equipment. Using the full range, fixed level head unit output, in conjunction with data bus messages, the AP4-TY12 delivers a variable 5v RMS preamp output with fading, balance, equalization, and level control capabilities.

The module also retains audio from other vehicle features such as factory navigation prompts, Bluetooth and Voice Activation. An accessory controlled remote amplifier turn on wire is also provided by the AP4-TY12. When used in conjunction with the APA-TOS1 (sold separately), the module can provide a variable 2-channel fiber optic digital audio output (TOSLINK).

Compatibility Notes:

• Vehicles with Telematics (ie: SOS, Enform, etc) will require some additional wiring. See manual for details. 
  
• Vehicle must be equipped with a JBL system. There must be an actual visible label that says JBL or JBL Synthesis. If the vehicle is equipped with a factory amplifier but does not say JBL, it is not compatible because the amplifier is analog and not digital.
  
• Lexus vehicles equipped with the Mark Levinson system are not compatible.
  
• Lexus vehicles equipped with navigation are not compatible.
  Lexus CT200h: Must be equipped with a center channel and a subwoofer
  
• Between 2012-2015 Toyota used two different styles of connectors. In order for the AP4-TY12 to be compatible, the radio must have the 10 / 6-pin BHA1761 style connector. Vehicles equipped with the 20-pin BHA8113 style connector are not compatible. The only way to know what connector the radio has is to physically remove it from the dash and look at it. Please see pictures below for reference.

Important Notes:

• Only compatible in vehicles equipped with a data bus controlled premium sound system. To verify compatibility in Toyota, look for a JBL logo on the radio. In Lexus, compatible applications will have a center channel or factory subwoofer.
  
• The AP4-TY12 does not support retention of the Easy Speak function.
  
• Toyota Safety Connect and Lexus Enform (SOS) can easily be retained. See the Tech Brief "AP4-TY12 SOS Retention" at PAC-audio.com for detailed instructions.
  
• The factory radio's speed controlled volume, DSP, and surround sound mode are not supported by the AP4 outputs.
  
• The factory amplifier must remain connected, and in the vehicle after the AmpPRO has been installed.
  
• Prior to testing, cycle the ignition off and back on again to properly initialize the AP4-TY12.
  
• The radio's beep setting must be enabled on the factory radio in order to hear the audible tones when making selections through the radio.
  
• Initially, if the beep through the AP4-TY12 does not match the on / off selection through the radio, cycle the beep to the opposite setting and back, then test again.
  
• The radio's beep volume and minimum volume levels are set to 0 dB by default. If you are happy with this level in your particular application, additional adjustment is not required. Please refer to the Setup and Configuration section on page 2 for more details.
  
• The Radio's Nav / VR Voice, incoming E-mail tone, Ringtone, In-Call, Incoming SMS / MMS tone and Incoming SMS Voice volumes can be adjusted through the radio's settings menu as they were prior to installation of the AP4-TY12.
  
• The remote output is rated at 2A of current. If more current is needed, an external relay must be used.
  
• Channels 5 and 6 are non-fading outputs. The output level of channels 5 and 6 can be controlled using the supplied level control knob.
  
• The level control knob must be connected in order to manually adjust the beep volume and minimum volume settings.
  
• No adjustments can be made manually using the programming button when the module is connected to a PC.
  
• Due to variations between various OEM radios and even between radio modes, the radio output voltage may vary slightly from the selected 5 volt (or 4 volt when DIP switch 2 is down) output.
