    Hey All,

    so the stereo in the 2014 Tacoma dcsb sucks. I have the entune plus package and I have the volume up all the way and can still talk to my wife (kill me now).

    New stereo I am looking at is the appradio 3 by pioneer made for crutchfield, x2 6x9 MTX 100watt speakers in front doors and x2 kicker 5.5" in the back doors

    I wanna see how this sounds first and then install a sub if needed

    I want to install this and wire in my backup camera and stock Bluetooth mic in the headliner

    is this possible, can anybody suggest some links on how to do this

    THANKS!

    Try the door speakers first...the problem with switching the head unit (the same problem I have) is there is (apparently) no way to hook the factory camera and bluetooth up to an AM receiver. It would seem replacing the door speakers, then adding an amp via an LOC would be the next best thing. Unless you don't care to lose the factory camera, bluetooth and satellite radio.

    You might have better luck over in the audio sub forum, however I can say for fact that I had my installers hard wire my backup cam to my HU. It works like a charm. Cam In the rear view and in my HU. Options. 2012 DCSB.
