Was going to get this head unit but found out from talking to Tacoma Beast you loose most of the Information from the infotainment above the steering wheel like average gas mileage average trip fuel economy and tire pressure monitor. Not worth it if you loose these items
Can you clarify? Do you mean to say the information all together (both above the steering wheel and on the main screen) does not show, so you lose this information altogether? Or does it still show in one of the 2 areas?
They can keep that for $2,000, Not even close to worth it and just another example of how ridiculously expensive anything is for a Tacoma. It isn't even full HD 1080p. downright shameful
I love and hate it at the same time!… The size and look of the unit looks great. However, the price considering it can’t even connect to the factory mic, and it doesn’t even have wireless CarPlay is just insane for the price they want!… My oem head unit is a pile of junk, I’m always having problems with it, but I couldn’t spend that much money on something that’s just slightly bigger because I guarantee the quality is no better because from my experience, all head units are over priced junk… it’s extremely disappointing because I’ve never had one just work properly! 😑 Toyota still thinks we plug iPods into our head units!… shows how little they know and pay attention to the quality they put into them.
I had this unit put in my 22 TRD Sport Love it so far but I do have one problem. I can hardly hear Siri. My phone volume is all the way up and I crank up the stinger volume but siris voice is very faint…Is there a setting in my unit or in my phone that will increase Siri’s voice volume?
I might’ve missed it, but did you talk about the Bread Crumb feature on the Entune? My 2020 Taco has Bread Crumb which is great for backcountry riding with no cell service so if I get lost I can just follow back the trail. Does this have that feature or no?
I'm curious too. I have a 2016, and you wouldn't believe the number of times I've gotten myself lost and the breadcrumb feature on the map has saved my ass.
To be fully honest, I did not know that feature existed! I don't have the optional iGo navigation card (yet) for this head unit, so I'm not sure if it has the bread crumb feature but I will update when I do get the navigation card 🙂
@@christopheragundez4347 you get the nav card if you want to be able to have maps without an active phone internet connection, like backcountry and emergency situations.
I have a 2022 Tacoma with the JBL “premium” speakers and it is a joke. Half the time CarPlay doesn’t work and I have to reset the head unit. The subwoofer doesn’t add anything to to bass, it all comes from the front door speakers. The volume knob is laggy and annoying, and when I try to skip a song to go to the next track it will randomly tell me it’s downloading data from iPod and just ignore my request. I really want to upgrade to something like this but it just sucks I have to dump even more money into something that was supposed to be premium and I’ll lose my birds eye view… My 2019 Camry had none of these problems with Apple CarPlay
Love the content! what impresses me most is you BUY most of the products you review instead of getting handouts like other content creators. It's easy to be excited about a free $1400 product given to you. Whereas on the other hand when you spend your HARD EARNED $ on the same item we tend to scrutinize it more.
Great video explaining the features on the head unit. The price is insane, but there is a lot to it. I would think they would sell two versions instead of selling a bunch of wiring harnesses to people who are not going to use them. It would at least reduce the price a little. Im more curious about the anytime camera mod. DO you have a video on that? I guess i missed it if you do.
For folks without android auto/carplay that really sucks. Luckily I think the 2020+ units work just fine. I really don't like aftermarket infotainment...they always seem to fail. I hope yours works for years. Thanks for the video, cheers.
The Stinger units all feel like a stop gap solution for existing/late last gen vehicles to be updated to an almost next gen feature level like the Ford Lightning, Rivian, and similar. It's also priced as such! I feel the product is priced specifically for people who are not willing to wait and completely reinvest into a brand new full loadout (Suspension, tires, packout, etc.). I feel its priced way too high for someone looking to make a single to even 3/4 mod upgrade into a vehicle without the features. It's priced for someone who is already heavily invested in their buildout.
2k ??? Wow all those options don’t add up to having to pay that for 2” more imo. I would rather do the iPad mod and use the rest of the money for speakers
In my 2023 taco, if you hold the mode button on the steering wheel it will pause whatever is streaming. Should work for yours as well. Thanks for another great video!
Since I’m older my eyes are older too so the screen size is great. The price on the other hand is borderline ridiculous so I’ll stay with the unit that came in my Tacoma and use my 67 Design mount system for my iPad and iPhone. You did a great job showing the install of the system !!! Keep the content coming
I saw that, too. That price was a little more than I’d be happy with, but it looks like something worthwhile, especially for us that have to use A LOT of candles on our birthday cake.
TACOMA BEAST created such a hype online but this is literally Alibaba junk from china. Price should have been around 250-450$ not close to 2000$.. th-cam.com/video/A8fqEGNFRxw/w-d-xo.html. check is instead. another garbage butat least price is not crazy
I have a 2019 Tacoma Sport. I kept stock head unit. Added an Audison 8 channel Amp, Focal EVO Flax door speakers/tweeters and a 12” Kenwood Sub. It is k.i.l.l.e.r
I've got a 2022 TRD OR premium. I would say the features lost would make this not worth it. Also no wireless car play is a huge let down for the price of this unit
I have a 2020 and I feel the same. However I bought a plug-in for my USB port to make it wireless apple CarPlay and I think that’s a much better purchase
I just bought this for my 2022. 1. 4,300 cost to install and upgrade both tweeters, 4 speakers and add 50w amp and add a base unit with JL audio As this is a huge install I am having a professional install it. This is a lot of work. I can’t wait as the stock sound system sucks. 6 days and I will have it done. I will update this comment.
I installed this same unit on my ‘22 Taco about a month ago and it only took me about an hour. Is not hard at all if you follow TacomaBeast installe video. Save the $$. Also replacing the twitters and speakers is not difficult. Check the many youtube videos on it. I replace all speakers and twitters with Kickers and the combination with the Height “10 headunit, sound is super awesome.
Questions, does the unit retain the main screen for the instrument cluster like the compass and the media tab and Does also have the extra gauges on the head unit.
I'm still old school. I don't want a touch screen radio. I don't see how that's better then just buttons and knobs to press or why making it bigger would be better somehow. I plan on changing my stock head unit to a single din cd player with Blu tooth and a cb radio installed underneath it. I agree the stock head unit needs an upgrade but it's about better quality sound. Not a bigger touch screen.
Chloe it always cracks me up at how excited you get to do these Mods to your Tacoma! I admire your enthusiasm very much. I have not done much modifying on my 2010 but I did install those same new hood struts as you. It’s a start lol
Just purchased mine and attempted to install according to the Stinger video, when i finished no power to the unit. Your video popped up on YT and i started from scratch, 15 min later, I have a fully functional unit thanks to your step by step and awesome video tutorial. Thank you!!
You failed to mention that it has an internal amp, you didn’t notice a difference in sound since the stock speakers aren’t compatible with that power output on the new head unit.
Right, my understanding is that the oem speakers are tuned to the oem head unit. If you change the head unit, you need a compatible one or new speakers.
You answered EXACTLY all the questions I had about putting in a head unit on my 2017 Tacoma. I also like the relaxed and detailed way you did this video, along with your professional and knowledgeable presence. You (and whoever is working with you on your videos) are doing a great job, I will subscribe and watch some of your other videos.
I've been dying for a solution to apple car play and getting more use out of my head unit. Thanks a ton for sharing this! Grabbing one as soon as its in stock.
when I press and hold the mute button on the steering wheel it actually pauses my sat radio or my spotify... Not sure if it will do it for you on the aftermarket Head Unit? thats on my 2021 TRD Sport. Nice vid.
Awesome Video Chloe! I have the same head unit and cannot find anywhere how to get the siriusxm working. I saw you connect the adapter to the factory antenna but what do we do from there? Would love to know if anyone has figured it out.
i love it, but i have questions about your anytime cam mod. Does it work with new unit? Do you have a video to show that install? have a jvc in my 2nd gen now but no android auto no maps no features like the stinger, looking at either this or atoto for replacement. thank you for you time i do appreciate it
Could you do a video on the HDMI app on the head unit? Also if you have a SiriusXM subscription already in factory head unit, you don’t need to buy anything extra to have it work right? It uses the shark fin antenna on the truck already? Thanks for the great videos! Keep up the greatness!
Thank you for this video. Did the vehicle settings you can access like the door lock on Park or open door or headlight time off settings change after installing the new head unit? As in reset?
I did gut everything form my anytime camera mod, except for the camera itself (which just is an RCA connector that plugs right into the unit). Now, I cannot access my front camera from a physical switch, but I can by going to my camera app on the Stinger itself. Hope this helps!
Hi Chloe thank you again for all your awesome videos. I know it’s been over a year since you installed the Stinger Heigh10 head unit. I am wondering if you are still using it and if so any problems along the way you can enlighten us on. If you had to do it again would you keep the same unit or find something else?…. I would appreciate your feedback Thank you Mark Ward. Owner of a 2018 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Access cab truck
Just installed this in my 2018. Is there a 1-2 second lag in the rear camera when in shifting in reverse? Do I need to update the firmware? Also the backup camera is very blurry.
Your videos are really informative and well done. Thanks for all of the hard work! I'm in the process of purchasing a Tacoma, and you videos have been a powerful motivator. @Toyota
I have a 2022 Tacoma Sport Premium with premium JBL sound package. When using Carplay, when Siri talks (texts, navagation, etc) or when you use the phone, the sound only comes through the front drivers side speaker with no option to adjust volume (trust me i've tried). Apparently this is how the JBL system is designed in the Tacoma for whatever reason. Otherwise the sound system is great for radio, SXM, and CarPlay music. Does this head unit use all speakers for calls/Siri/text message readback and allow adjustment of the volume? This is something i need to know about the Stinger head unit as it would determine whether or not I buy it. Also - idk if i can forgive the fact that the Stinger unit will not use the Tacoma's OEM microphone. Does the little one on the front of the head unit work well? Can people hear you when on the phone? I absolutely will not mount that cheap looking lapel microphone in my tacoma. Thanks! - Also great video I'm super interested in this radio as long as it remedies the Siri voice issue.
Hi Chloe, I installed this same unit on my ‘22 Taco, and for some reason the call volume while using CarPlay is very low from my side and the caller side, have not figure out why. All volumes are pretty high and the call volumes while using Bluetooth is awesome. Can you check why the CarPlay volume is so bad? I tried contacting Stinger and no success fixing it. Also the resolution of Carplay during the day is not the best. If you can help, I’ll appreciate it.
Did you up the gain in the sound settings for CarPlay? I had to for mine. Otherwise, maybe it's a volume setting you can fix on your iPhone itself. Good luck!
2000.00 dollars, it's only 10 inches and you can't do what you want with it? Apple car play and android auto are both supergay. Super terrible idea. I bought a 17 inch Samsung tablet for 1400.00, it's top of the line, I can watch TV while I drive.
I could not see the link for the mod to the any time camera, I just installed the Stinger in my 2019 and would like to hook up my front camera, thanks. Your install is much better than going to the stinger version. Thanks again.
I worked in aerospace for years, and the best fabricators were women. Their attention to detail and following instruction are much better than men. Looks like well-designed head both in form and function. I don't understand why the screen would get brighter when the car headlights are on. You need a dimmer screen at night. Also, I would have added a sun visor to the unit. Chloe, please show how the GPS works with NAV apps.
Usually when people replace a head unit it’s the crappy stock one but with manufacturers putting apple car play and android auto in why do you need this what’s diffrent about this and the stock one except it’s bigger
Thanks for the video, it is much easier to follow than Stingers site. You mentioned a link for converting the anytime camera for the front camera, I was not able to find that. would you be able to re-post it. Thanks.
I have a 2018 tacoma which has navigation. Does the stinger still use it and would it update? Wich is one of the problems im having now. Thank for all the great videos.
How did you get the reverse camera to work? I followed the instructions on install and it shows No Signal. I called Stinger and they told me to follow the paper manual to fix it, but it didn’t work. You have the exact same Tacoma as I do. Year and all. Did you have to do something different to get it to work?
If you reinstall the stock radio later, will it need a code to unlock it? Someone just gave me their 2016 Tacoma stock radio and he had no idea if it needs a code to put it into a different vehicle. I know it's not the greatest radio, but it def looks better than my basic stock Honda radio. Thx. 😊
Hello I have a 2019 Tacoma and this video was amazingly helpful I still have two issues with it. First is when I go in reverse the camera doesn't show up unless I choose the camera app. Next is I still don't have android auto which is the main reason why I got it. Can anyone please give me a hand I'm literally at the final steps lol
I still hate the button layout on the steering wheel… Up and down should be volume and left and right should be next track station up and down…. Instead Toyota did it backwards. - just a random comment
You can order the same kit of Amazon for a couple hundred dollars less. I did that because Tacoma beast was out of stock and told me they weren’t getting more. So I searched the part online and got it next day shopping for $400 less than what they charge.
Bro. Tacomabeast is such a scam. They have it for 1700. Crunch field has the same thing for 1100
Was going to get this head unit but found out from talking to Tacoma Beast you loose most of the Information from the infotainment above the steering wheel like average gas mileage average trip fuel economy and tire pressure monitor. Not worth it if you loose these items
This comment should be higher up.
This is a really important thing to know.
This is what makes me hesitant as well. I might look into replacing my 2019 head unit with a used 2020+ head unit though so I can use android auto.
Agreed, very important information about losing that feature.
Can you clarify? Do you mean to say the information all together (both above the steering wheel and on the main screen) does not show, so you lose this information altogether? Or does it still show in one of the 2 areas?
That sucks because it say right on the website it retains all the stuff you said wouldn’t be available
They can keep that for $2,000, Not even close to worth it and just another example of how ridiculously expensive anything is for a Tacoma. It isn't even full HD 1080p. downright shameful
😂🤣😂 $2k not a chance in hell! I'm struggling to find the value in sinking $2k for a radio that's so bare on features
So the display gets brighter when you turn the headlights on? Isn’t that counter intuitive? It should dim, shouldn’t it?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Wrong dimmer wire hooked up
Agreed, it should be the opposite. Perhaps a bad install for that?
Just for anyone wondering this head unit is $1,700ish.
2024 it is now $800
Decent video. I appreciate it. But review after a day? o_O

Most of these aftermarket stereos don’t have wireless CarPlay mine was $500 and it doesn’t but it works great
looked great until I saw it was $1700.

Thanks for saving me time.

The Stinger units all feel like a stop gap solution for existing/late last gen vehicles to be updated to an almost next gen feature level like the Ford Lightning, Rivian, and similar.

And why even buy Toyota if all you're going to do is upgrade in 2 years. They are built to run a long time.
Sold out everywhere and way too expensive lmao
2k ??? Wow all those options don’t add up to having to pay that for 2” more imo. I would rather do the iPad mod and use the rest of the money for speakers
Right? All head units are over priced pieces of crap! You can spend less than that on an iPad that does a million more things!

When using Carplay, when Siri talks (texts, navagation, etc) or when you use the phone, the sound only comes through the front drivers side speaker with no option to adjust volume (trust me i've tried). Apparently this is how the JBL system is designed in the Tacoma for whatever reason. Otherwise the sound system is great for radio, SXM, and CarPlay music. Does this head unit use all speakers for calls/Siri/text message readback and allow adjustment of the volume? This is something i need to know about the Stinger head unit as it would determine whether or not I buy it.
Also - idk if i can forgive the fact that the Stinger unit will not use the Tacoma's OEM microphone. Does the little one on the front of the head unit work well? Can people hear you when on the phone? I absolutely will not mount that cheap looking lapel microphone in my tacoma.
Thanks! - Also great video I'm super interested in this radio as long as it remedies the Siri voice issue.
Hi Chloe, I installed this same unit on my ‘22 Taco, and for some reason the call volume while using CarPlay is very low from my side and the caller side, have not figure out why. All volumes are pretty high and the call volumes while using Bluetooth is awesome. Can you check why the CarPlay volume is so bad? I tried contacting Stinger and no success fixing it. Also the resolution of Carplay during the day is not the best. If you can help, I’ll appreciate it.
Did you up the gain in the sound settings for CarPlay? I had to for mine. Otherwise, maybe it's a volume setting you can fix on your iPhone itself. Good luck!
@@ChloeKuo I have tried everything and nothing works. I am using the BT phone call settings which is pretty crystal clear. Thanks
2000.00 dollars, it's only 10 inches and you can't do what you want with it? Apple car play and android auto are both supergay. Super terrible idea. I bought a 17 inch Samsung tablet for 1400.00, it's top of the line, I can watch TV while I drive.
I could not see the link for the mod to the any time camera, I just installed the Stinger in my 2019 and would like to hook up my front camera, thanks. Your install is much better than going to the stinger version. Thanks again.
Already SOLD OUT..LOL @$1,700+USD..
$1700. I put that saving for new Truck 😬
Q
I worked in aerospace for years, and the best fabricators were women. Their attention to detail and following instruction are much better than men. Looks like well-designed head both in form and function. I don't understand why the screen would get brighter when the car headlights are on. You need a dimmer screen at night. Also, I would have added a sun visor to the unit. Chloe, please show how the GPS works with NAV apps.
I had mine installed and my apple carplay doesn't work. I have a 2016 Tacoma. Not really liking this stereo.
Thats why nicer I just got a new quad cab and the head unit looks like it’s from the early 80s.
Usually when people replace a head unit it’s the crappy stock one but with manufacturers putting apple car play and android auto in why do you need this what’s diffrent about this and the stock one except it’s bigger
Thanks for the video, it is much easier to follow than Stingers site. You mentioned a link for converting the anytime camera for the front camera, I was not able to find that. would you be able to re-post it. Thanks.
You should of really specified if its either WIRED or Wireless Carplay btw. Because I still dont know.
I have a 2018 tacoma which has navigation. Does the stinger still use it and would it update? Wich is one of the problems im having now. Thank for all the great videos.
Did your stock radio JBL? Mine is JBL and I bought 10” touch screen from Amazon, after I installed and it had no sound. Why?
Chloe, I noticed when you bring up Apple Car Play, the WiFi “bars” show. Does your truck have WiFi hot spot? Thank you
How did you get the reverse camera to work? I followed the instructions on install and it shows No Signal. I called Stinger and they told me to follow the paper manual to fix it, but it didn’t work. You have the exact same Tacoma as I do. Year and all. Did you have to do something different to get it to work?
If you reinstall the stock radio later, will it need a code to unlock it?
Someone just gave me their 2016 Tacoma stock radio and he had no idea if it needs a code to put it into a different vehicle. I know it's not the greatest radio, but it def looks better than my basic stock Honda radio.
Thx. 😊
Excellent and informative video. I like that but there isn’t enough value for me to warrant getting one, yet.
Hello I have a 2019 Tacoma and this video was amazingly helpful I still have two issues with it. First is when I go in reverse the camera doesn't show up unless I choose the camera app. Next is I still don't have android auto which is the main reason why I got it. Can anyone please give me a hand I'm literally at the final steps lol
That’s nice, but not $1700 nice. Maybe if my stock head unit died outside of warranty I would consider it…..
Does the Apple Car Play work over Bluetooth since the stock head unit is still stuck in the 20th Century and you need to be plugged in to the USB?
Thinking about ordering one once I save up !! Been looking for a solution to have Apple care play for my 2017 Tacoma !!
I still hate the button layout on the steering wheel… Up and down should be volume and left and right should be next track station up and down…. Instead Toyota did it backwards. - just a random comment
I can’t get my steering wheel controls to work after installing in my 2017 Tacoma do you have any tips?
You can order the same kit of Amazon for a couple hundred dollars less. I did that because Tacoma beast was out of stock and told me they weren’t getting more. So I searched the part online and got it next day shopping for $400 less than what they charge.
Link bro?
I actually mounted an ipad and is A LOT BETTER!!! I would not but any head unit.. ipad is the best..
