Need help installing a 2013 oem touchscreen on a 2012 taco

The plugs for the usb, steering wheel buttons and antenna are difrent, is there adapters to make this work or how could i wire it up to work ?

 

Sounds like one is JBL and one isn't. Is that the case?

 

Why not just go aftermarket?

 

I hate to use the "can't" word... so I'll say there are no plug and play methods of doing this. It would be easier for you to sell the OEM unit and purchase an aftermarket unit, as adapters at least exist for that purpose.

Aside from that, my best advice is to start comparing wiring diagrams for the two units and get the wire plugs from a 2013 model truck.

 

Its a panasonic touchscreen only, no nav, i just called the stealer and they offer no help, rewire i guess. I wanted this one because i like the clean look of oem, but want oem+

 

I got the antenna adapter and now I have radio, touchscreen, usb, and cd player with mp3, just need to wait to figure out how to rewire the microphone and the steering controls

 

Wait.. Your title is OEM2013 into a 2012 and now you are saying its a Panasonic touch screen? Very confusing and it makes it hard to help you out.

 

Wait what dude, ill make it more clear, i own a 2012 taco and i am installing a OEM 2013 taco touchscreen head unit. I got the antenna figured out power speakers ok, the usb charges my iphone but wont work for music, the steering controls dont work and the microphone for hands free is mia, i figure its part of the 2 connectors that are way diffrent. Btw the oem headunit is made by panasonic

 

My factory system is non jbl of that helps

 

RE: Bluetooth, you might be able to get the Blu logic kit for a 2013 truck and adapt it to fit yours.

Aside from that, you need to get the 2012/2013 wiring diagrams (or buy a subscription to TIS - https://techinfo.toyota.com) which will have all the diagrams you need.

 

Its just a matter of time before some one of you figure it out, ill be patient

 

USB has 4 wires, and it sounds as though you have 2 wires hooked up correctly (that would explain charge but no music through iphone). As far as your steering wheel controls, AS STATED, you need the wiring diagrams for both trucks to figure out which pin goes to which wire. I applaud your OEM+ upgrade, but there is no plug-n-play solution, and being the first to do something requires some ingenuity.

 

Yes speaker boy, im waiting for a junked 2013 to harvest the conectors and ill be good to go, im content with the function of it all for the time being, still working on the vibes from what i think is a bad cabin mount

 

im in the same boat- what antenna adapter did u get to make it work?

 

I dont remember the part number but i got it at a rinky dink auto stereo store, the guy heard tacoma headunit and knew which one it was, i guess its a comon adapter for aftermarket radios cost about 15 bucks, it will have the hole where u plug ur antenna and a extra blue wire i believe, dont hook the other wire up or ur headunit wont come off with the ign off.

 

ok thanks

 

did you ever figure out the other stuff- like the usb and mic wiring?

 

Not yet, working on it, i hate wiring

 

Here's the mic wiring if it helps.

 

thanks- isn't the 2013 tacoma R15 harness have more pins that the diagrams above ^^^

I know the 2012 plug is different and has less wires
