I'm an original 07 owner. We love our FJ but would like to upgrade the stereo to a more modern setup. I like the setups I have seen on here with the Apple Car and Android play. Particularly with the hands free laws that have finally passed in my state.
Can anyone make any suggestions?
My steering wheel does not have any controls on it...will that be an issue?
I wouldn't be afraid to install myself and add a backup camera.
What other features or things should I be looking at?
I know budget will be a big consideration, would just like to know what some of the mid range options are.
Thanks in advance.

I hear you on the CD's. The sound off a CD is great. I upgraded about 2 month ago. I went with a Pioneer AVH-2550NEX. I'm very happy with it. It has everything you are looking for. Do you currently have the FJammer with 8 or 9 speaker audio?

My Fjammer`s CD player broke. I just checked out this model and it looks like what I want. Thanks for the info. Can I ask where you got yours from? :)

When I installed a Pioneer AVIC08200NEX from Crutchfield, it came with two little filler pieces that went on the sides of the double DIN screen.
One nice feature of that unit is the tilt screen (you can see the mounting angle of the FJ visible on the side piece in the photo below, and how the screen is angled out to be both parallel with the dashboard and also to be easier to touch screen with:
