    Not Sure I have not tried. I would guess not because of legal reasons, but I bet there is a way to hack around that.

    A lot of head units will play movies, but only while the vehicle is not in motion. Aftermarket head units tend to have an easily disabled "in motion" circuit, however I doubt that OEM parts will be as easily hacked, since their objective is to not go out of business. OEM HU's are designed with the purpose of doing what the customer wants them to do.

    I do love the homelink, had that in my Tundra. Garage, Gate and Gate a Work, thats 3 openers I dont need. Success.

    I've got 500 miles on mine, and the ride is getting more and more plush. I am shocked at how well the Bilstein and Eibach pairing is working.

    I just got the carpet kit on Monday, thats going in tonight. I live in So Cal. It rains here every leap year, I dont care for the all weather flooring.

    Good call on removing the graphics, came off pretty easy didn't they? I was glad Toyota opted for a high quality adhesive, it didn't leave anything behind.

    Tint! I am getting her done on Friday. I still don't have my plates which is a giant red flag, but I can't stand sitting in a fish bowl.

    Yeah it was incredible how easy the graphics came off! It was like 89 degrees here and I didn't even need a blow dryer. They just pealed of with minimal residue! Lets see pics of yours when you get your tints!

    My color matched grille surround is on it's way. I will post pictures of that once I install that and my Line-x front skid!

    Is it uncouth to ask the exact price you paid for it off the lot? My local dealer has 3 Tacomas, one of which is a Baja like yours, only black. Window sticker is 39 and change, which seems rather steep.
    I'm intending to buy around December. I've never bought a new car before, so I don't really know how to haggle or anything. I would hope to get them down to 34 or 35k on the price, but then again I suspect all car dealers in the nyc area are scumbags.

    Hey LoadedTaco,

    Did your Baja Tacoma come with the carpet in it?
    Your interior pics show carpet.

    I was wondering if some Baja Tacomas come with the all weather flooring
    and some with carpet.

    I got an alright deal there is definitely more room to wiggle then I got. However there is full loaded baja at the below link. They were willing to get me all the way to $35,000 at 2.9% with $500 clearance rebate and $1000 rebate for graduating from school within the last two year. My dealer was $1000 higher but I didn't have to drive to ohio. The Ohio told me to let anyone I knew was interested to send them. The sales man's name was Brian Fisher 6146325592 . My name is Peter DeSantis if you want to reference the deal. That included a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. My dealer got my car all the way from West Virginia. Good luck man dealers are a PITA to work with and you need to get multiple competing for your business.

    Very nice truck guy! I also moved on from a GTO into a Taco too, by far the best investment for my life.

    I also just completed the bed compartment's lockbox mod today too, very nice :D
