    No. The unit doesn't have a aux input on it. Atleast yours doesn't since its an 08. You could do the whole ipod thing and use an ipod adapter and keep your stock headunit.

    I haven't used this one , but you can look for a converter which removes your cd changer and lets you aux input that.. Just do a google "cd changer to aux for toyota tacoma" and plug in your year.

    I ran a Phatbox on my Audi this way through the factory changer port

    Thank you Chris & Josh! this is a much more inexpensive route and I can easily convert all of my cd's to mp3 and remove any skipping and the radio entirely!

    If you have a pioneer radio, I have a CD-RB10 that might work for you. Plugs into the cd port and gives you RC in. I threw it on CL a few months ago, but no takers, it's yours for $20.

    Colby,
    The cost of a good deck, harness and install is just more then I want to spend on a stereo. I had a nice stereo once and all it did was make my car a target.. and that is EXACTLY what happened! So much $$ in equipment just gone! I told myself that I would never put that kind of $$ in a stereo again. Im fine with the sound that my HU puts out now with the JBL speakers, its just my CD changer took a shit. I agree, its not the best SQ $$ can buy, but it works for me.
    Im not one to go bumping down the road and I think that installing this convertor and MP3/phone jack is the best solution for what I want at the moment.

    Microsoft listens to the people and is now making it so you DO NOT have to be always connected and is giving back the used game market.

    See article HERE

    But is it enough to win us back? I just cant believe they would listen and act this fast to get the media out.

    Anyone have any recommendation on alarms these days (with remote start, preferably through android app). There's some out there, but figured maybe someone's already been researching. Inb4 I know alarms don't really do much in the long run, but it might be enough time for me to get out of bed and whoop some fucking ass....

    I'm looking too. Turns out directed technology owns most of the major alarm manufacturers anyways so you can't go wrong with Viper Clifford.

    Pretty much the same thing.

    Note 2 is bigger by a bit.

    S4 has a lot of 'features' the note2 doesn't have. (eye tracking stuff mainly and some cool camera features).

    Note 2 has a stylist if you like to doodle. I use mine a lot just when I have wet hands so I don't have to touch the screen.

    I'd go down there, play with both and see which one you like more. Most people find the Note 2 to be too big.


    I just got an iPhone5 for work, Tiny little device.

    I have the note 2 and the gf has the s4. And basically what colby said.. the s4 has some cool little features that I like, but I still like my note 2 more. Bigger battery. Bigger screen. Stylus. Etc. Other than that. They are the same. Will get the same updates more than likely. The s4 has a slightly newer version of Jellybean. I have 4.1 she has 4.2.

    Did you just make a joke?:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Wait for the Note 3 to come out. It should be out near the end of the summer. If you don't want to wait, get the S4.

    Fucking Connor..... :D


    I have an iPhone5 and a Note 2..

    the iPhone is 'meh'.. Even the iOS7 update I put on it (Apple Developer Account FTW) really just makes it more like Android. So I'll stick with my Note2.
