I installed the 8100 yesterday in my 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road…and it went in super easy. I followed the instructions in the video, and installed the microphone per your instructions. The only thing I did differently was, I used a couple dabs of hot glue where the mic sits in the “mic mount” and it seems to be held in place very well. With apple car play in my truck now is like night and day! Based on how easy it was to put in with all the pre-wiring you guys do on your end, made it a no brainer. Everything works as it should and the sound quality is amazing for me. With all the other abilities the 8100 has that I had been missing out on, I only wish I had done this a couple years ago! All these new features are amazing… Fire stick next with the HDMI? It really was as easy to install as you did it in the video! Thanks for all your help and support on this seamless install!
Thank you for your comment! We don't currently offer the add-on backup camera but this unit, but any aftermarket backup camera can be made to work with this unit!
To my knowledge, no back up camera is included. Is there a way to buy a WIRED back-up camera that hooks into this? THAT is the big question, I have had no luck getting an answer.
Great question! A wired connection is still the most reliable connection at this price point. There are way more expensive head units that offer wireless CarPlay but, again, they’re super expensive!
12 tundra limited with w/o nav but have JBL and factory back seat sub. Wanted to confirm if or if not a maestro idatalink module is warranted to match the stock Jbl system’s impedance when installing this Sony h.u. ? Excellent tutorial.
How much for installation for this >? I also own a 2007 Toyota tundra as well and would love apple care play , you made this look so easy but not so sure I would be as pro as yourself
Great video. My camera is in the rearview mirror. I wont be able to see the back up camera view on the new head unit? Is there a way to run a wire from the rearview mirror along with the microphone cable?
You'll be able to continue viewing your rear camera as factory in your rearview mirror! Unfortunately there's no easy way to get all that wiring down from the rearview to behind the head unit!
Thanks so much! Yep, we can build it for a 2017 Sequoia! Send us a contact form with details and we’ll get you pricing for the Sequoia: trailgridpro.com/contact/
Does the screen adjust so that its sitting more parallel with you? That angle where its angled up at the ceiling looks stupid and not practical. I wish they mounted the screen on a ball so it could be adjusted for the driver. The screen is suppose to be adjustable but I didn't see you move it around at all.
Thanks so much for your comment and suggestions! You can absolutely angle the head unit to be more at a 90 degree. This customer preferred the position as in the video because the display was pointing more toward his eye versus at his chest or lower. Functionally, this positioning is the easiest to use but we totally understand where you’re coming from. You can absolutely change the angle if you desire.
I have a 2008 Tundra SR5. The factory radio doesn't look like what is shown in this install video. Looks much older. Will this bundle still be plug and play?
Is there a way to add a back up camera that is indicated on the same screen for a 2012 Tundra? Thanks, I'm trying to avoid a separate navy and screen for the back-up camera
I'm thinking about purchasing this unit for my 2012 tundra limited. Does this unit have vehicle maintenance settings like the factory unit? And is it bluetooth for calls but needs a physical connection for carplay to be active? Thanks in advance
It's very similar! We have some videos of other units being installed in Tundras that you can cross-reference with this video as well as our written install guide on our website!
I just can't see adding this to my 09 rock warrior. No flush mount? I just think it looks cheesy. Doesn't it? Like a wall mounted TV? Maybe I'm wrong. Not a very clean install finished product.
Yep, we have it - it actually takes the same mic clip as the one we have for a 4Runner and Tacoma on the site. We still have to build out our product page for the Tundra version but if you want it you can order from the other pages currently.
@@TrailGridPro do I need anything else or does the kit comes with all harnesses? Also would the factory apps and car settings still work with it? Thanks
Hi there! This is Kyra from Issyauto, a professional brand dedicated to producing the best car parts.We'd like to invite you to do a review on Center Console Cover for Tundra 2007-2013. Would you have interest in reviewing it?Thank you and look forward to your reply！

Woohoo! We're so pumped you're happy with your new Sony 8100 bundle and great job on the installation!! We appreciate ya!
Still loving my setup went in easy works like a champ. serious customer service too. (no affiliation)
Appreciate your kind words and so happy you’re happy with your new Sony set up! 🙌
Looking to buy, just confused if there was a backup camera that comes with this beauty

this is a great setup i jIust cant understand why sony has phone tethered when it could have gone bluetooh. no?

Thanks for your kind words! We use the PAC module with this bundle, not Maestro.
I have the same truck and wondering about something? What is the answer?

Give us a shout in the shop and we'll talk through it! 301.835.9100!
Great job, that is a lot of work. Do you have a system that fits so it looks factory, flat on the dash?
At this time we only offer the 8100 for that year range Tundra.

This is really good, definitely going to my 2012 Sequoia Platinum.
I just ordered this stereo
How about for a 2017 sequoia?
Thanks so much! Yep, we can build it for a 2017 Sequoia! Send us a contact form with details and we’ll get you pricing for the Sequoia: trailgridpro.com/contact/
Is the USB adapter cable that you installed in the cigarette lighter spot included with the kit?
We actually include a kit that connects right to one of unit blank switch locations now. It’s so much easier!
@@TrailGridPro nice! Do you mind tagging the link?
@@Vin978_ the part number is AXUSB35SKT

Do you guys have the jbl bundle with the steering wheel control or no?
Yep, they all maintain steering wheel controls!
Are you selling that factory radio man let me know
Ah, that was a customers - he took it with him!
What wire harness do i need for my 07 tundra with jbl, back up camera, and steering wheel control?
So the 2007 did NOT have a touch screen radio. so which radio was put in to replace the Original factory radio?
This customers 2007 had a factory TOYOTA radio.
What model will work for non jbl and will have an aftermarket backup camera installed? I read that this might not be compatible.
Feel free to shoot us an email and we can discuss your options!
Is there a reason the existing mic wires can't be adapted and used?
Great question - not a great answer other than the fact that the bundle requires the Sony mic to work for voice commands, etc.
Will this work on 2008 sequoia with JBL?
It does (different dash kit of course) - we can custom build a bundle for Sequoia's if you're interested!
I have a 2010 Sequoia w/ JBL and the backup cam in the rear view mirror. Would the backup cam still work as it does stock?
We don't have a Sequoia bundle at this time but we're working on it!
Is this compatible with a sequoia?
It is (different dash kit of course) - we can custom build a bundle for Sequoia's if you're interested!
I have a 2008 Tundra SR5. The factory radio doesn't look like what is shown in this install video. Looks much older. Will this bundle still be plug and play?
If it’s the JBL system you need a special wire harness
Thank you for your comment! Feel free to check out or website or send us an email regarding options available for your rig!
Do you have to use the microphone that comes with it or can you still use the factory mic?
Yep, using the provided Sony mic is required with our kit.
Does the OBD need to stay connected?
Yep, to allow your reverse camera to trigger in the head unit if you currently have a factory backup camera.
Can the basic radio be upgraded to the one you removed?
Absolutely!
Is there a way to add a back up camera that is indicated on the same screen for a 2012 Tundra? Thanks, I'm trying to avoid a separate navy and screen for the back-up camera
Absolutely! Any aftermarket backup camera can be used with these units and integrated with the head unit!
No, I mean "wired", not the wireless models-which I don't want. But thanks @@TrailGridPro
Is there a way to purchase the sony mic mount separately?
Send us an email to support@trailgridpro.com and we can get you taken care of!
I'm thinking about purchasing this unit for my 2012 tundra limited. Does this unit have vehicle maintenance settings like the factory unit? And is it bluetooth for calls but needs a physical connection for carplay to be active?
Thanks in advance
The 8100 does not have the maintenance settings integrated. It does offer bluetooth but only wired CarPlay.
Is the insulation the same on a 2015?
It's very similar! We have some videos of other units being installed in Tundras that you can cross-reference with this video as well as our written install guide on our website!
Is there a video for the 2014-2019 tundra?
Coming soon! :-)
I just can't see adding this to my 09 rock warrior. No flush mount? I just think it looks cheesy. Doesn't it? Like a wall mounted TV? Maybe I'm wrong. Not a very clean install finished product.
Really appreciate your feedback! Yea, the floating design isn’t everyone’s taste for sure! Thanks again for watching!
Is the mic clip available yet? Didnt see where to order just that little mount clip.
Yep, we have it - it actually takes the same mic clip as the one we have for a 4Runner and Tacoma on the site. We still have to build out our product page for the Tundra version but if you want it you can order from the other pages currently.
Is it a flush mount? Im assuming not.
The Sony 8100 is a panel display, so it will sit slightly away from the dash.
is there a flush option ?
will the 8100 fit a 2012 4 runner trail
Yep, it absolutely will! You can check it out here: trailgridpro.com/shop/head-units/sony-xav-ax8100-4runner/
What kind of ratchet tool are you using?
Milwaukee electric ratchet!
Gracias por el tutorial muy bueno
Thank you!!
Does this work with wireless CarPlay?
Not at this time, but we do provide a front facing USB kit with our bundle that allows you to create an easily accessible USB connection for CarPlay.
Would this work on a 2018 sequoia?
No, but this one does: trailgridpro.com/products/sony-xav-ax8100-14-19-tundra/
@@TrailGridPro do I need anything else or does the kit comes with all harnesses? Also would the factory apps and car settings still work with it? Thanks

Yep, it sure will!
