OEM 2014 Tacoma Navigation Radio

for those who have the new Nav unit
are all the features accessible while driving?

 

Since my truck is a 2014 with the touchscreeen non JBL am i able to use my own VIN for the ENTUNE App?

 

Not the navi

 

My navi is off about 300 feet... anyone know how to calibrate??

 

Yogster. I will buy your 2013 controls if you get the 2014 ones.

 

No, I am in the same boat as you.

 

The navi controls are only available via voice control while driving. It takes a bit of getting used to but is competent.

 

Did you do the calibrate option in the settings? Of course you can only do it while stopped.

 

Didn't dig into it much. Will try it later

 

Pretty easy. For the heck of it I went online and got myself a VIN number from a burnt out Taco that had Entune. Works with the iPhone app. But can't really use it since I only have the Audio Plus HU.

 

You find a burnt out 2014?

 

It was a 2013 model. It's one of those site where you bid on wreck vehicles. I kept trying different VIN's till I got that one.

Not really sure on the legality of using another VIN number(s) from yours.

 

So should the VIN be one for the Engine Audio Plus JBL with navigation

 

Yes, to utilize the apps via the HU.

 

Hey all -

I've searched high and low for the info, but can't find it...Working to get the 2014 Nav HU installed on my 2010 Taco...

By any chance, what are you all doing around removing the pins from the factory harnesses (to relocate)? Is anyone using a special tool? Or is any one buying a raw harness, or new pins (which I know are pretty costly)?

Thanks!

 

Thank you very much FLTrucks. I got my radio in the mail today and had it installed and running in 30 min.

 

Didn't I provide you with a vin? If not i have one for you that should work.

 

No problem glad you could enjoy such a great factory unit.

 

Get you one of those screw drivers made for glasses and file it down to a nice thin point. The connectors have a secondary and primary locking tab. The secondary tab is on the top or bottom of the connector. The primary is very small and locate inside each pin. I will see if i can get you a pic of each.

 

Just out of curiosity, why go through all this trouble when an aftermarket unit would be easier to install, and more than likely perform better. I'm not trying to bash you guys. Just trying to understand the logic. Do the factory units offer something after market doesn't? Or are you just trying to keep the OEM look to prevent theft?
