About to install mine soon, ordered a harness from auto harness warehouse and got my headunit out of a 2023 Tacoma for free! Replace my seats out of a 2023 Tacoma and the seller gave me the head unit for free.
I just installed mine today after looking at your video and I’m very happy with the result. However, the trip information is not showing up for me on the head unit. Like where it shows the trip time, mpg, etc. Does your head unit show this info?
I’ve never looked until now. Mine has the MPG graph but no trip info like “avg speed after start” or “elapsed time after start” it also doesn’t show any history
Awesome tutorial and many thanks for posting the vid. I have a 2017 Tacoma with the standard entune unit (no JBL) so my install would be a little easier but I do have a question. Is this wirelessly connecting via bluetooth to enable carplay or do you have to connect it via USB?
@@kempokiai @MuscleAmerican hi all! I have 2017 standard (no JBL) does this mean I can just get no JBL harness and install 3.0 unit with JBL and don't have to change factory amp?
Wow this is exactly what I want for my 2022 Rav4 Prime SE. Do you know if I can swap my 8.0" screen with the 2023 XSE one that is 10.5"? (Assuming both are not JBL) Would I need the wire harness converter?
Do you have the part number for the 3.0 head unit? Lookong forward in doing the same i have a 2016 jbl version and want to make sure i get the right head unit
Hello, my name is Efren and I want to thank you for this video, if you would be kind enough to answer a question, I would really appreciate it. I am not using my factory amplifier but I left it connected since it is part of the reverse and proximity sensors like I need the amplifier, I saw in your video that the camera works, my speakers sound from a non-original amplifier that I installed, please do you think I need to buy the amplifier too, thank you
Does the built in navigation actually work with new head unit? Okay, so when you click on the menu button, is there a square app that says destination with a pin and a map silhouette in the background? That’s what I meant. Nice job by the way.
I have a 2019 OR with the JBL unit so I would likely have the same setup you had. My question is: I like the integrated touch buttons on the existing unit that are in the unit. Can you tell me if the new unit has the same integrated buttons or are they all outside of the unit? Thank you.

Quick question. When you got the stereo did you have to program it to your truck since it's a different VIN? I ask because some of the ones I've found on ebay state that they may need programming.

@@MuscleAmerican thank you! wow this is expensive, $700 for 3.0 head unit, $400 for amp (finally tracked one down) and $260 for wiring for a total of $1,360...debating if this is really worth it.
@@MuscleAmerican not worth it, but agree worth it for under $1k. Finding this combination may take months, I guess everyone is trying to upgrade. So surprised at Toyota, great truck, not great sound/infotainment. I had a 2016 Silverado which was so far ahead in this space.

so i have a 2016 sr5 with the stock basic radio and am wanting to upgrade to the non jbl version of this and I found a head unit on ebay for sale but upon doing other research it says I would have to get a bigger bezel to accommodate the newer head unit because the bigger screen size so im unsure whether I need one or not

That’s going to be extremely challenging and I don’t know if it will be possible. They are not very cross compatible. Your best bet would be to get a 2020+ non JBL head unit and then make the conversion.
Do some more research, I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s possible. You have no wiring for the AMP since yours is a non JBL. You can do an aftermarket headunit and AMP. A lot of guys do that.
@@masonmckee6922 yes but that’s a big job. If you’re not comfortable doing wiring it’s going to be hard. If I were you I would just get a non JBL 2020+ headunit with the wiring harness mentioned in the video. That’s going to be the easiest way.
