Outside Temp Sensor

Has anyone installed a temp sensor in a Tacoma that does not already have one? I have the overhead console already, and it has lights, garage door opener and sunglasses holder.

06 Tacoma Access cab.

could get a Tacoma sensor OEM from the dealer right?

Fairly mechanical, willing to adapt a Tundra sensor, or other vehicle sensor.

 

I did a quick search and found this thread.>>http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...stall-overhead-compass-temperature-gauge.html

 

This guy has all you need for sale. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/58181-05-08-o-head-console-w-temp-compass.html

No need to adapt another sensor, as there are always lots of these for sale.

 

Thanks guys!

I had searched before posting, but I think I was too specific with key words.

Anybody know where to buy a complete overhead unit with temp/compass?

Hmmm..... think its this?

63650-04010-B0

Can call ur local dealership too

 

Thanks I’ll look into it. I was looking for someone selling a used one if anyone knows.

 

Oh, well ive seen used displays but not entire consoles.

Ur also gunna need the temp probe for the front end i think

 

Yeah I did it on an 08 before. It was pretty easy but hard part was finding used overhead console.

 

Okie dokes

Remember wiring changed in the overhead console in 2009

 

Thank you

 

Dang!
do you happen to know what changed? or where I might get that info? I just received a broken compass/temp gage from a fell TW member but he has a 06 taco, and I'm 09. I'm trying to fix it, but if there is no hope in hell that I can mod it to work with my rig then I'll stop wasting my time.

 

Sorry, i am not sure if its an added wire, swapped wiring, or a connector issue.
Just regurgitated what i heard for years.

If your crafty, you may be able to figure out things this way.....

Get a toyota tss subscription, get wiring diagram for the compass console on the 09, and print it out. Do the same for 2005.

See what is what.... even if its a connector issue, id bet theres a way to find a number on the correct connector and then u could retrofit the harness.

I dunno, ive been awake all night so this could look like jibberish even to myself later


Worst case, resell the 1 u got.

 

appreciate the response,
it was bro-given to me, so I'd like to do the same if its not worth it.

I have been meaning to get a TSS Sub for a while now, this may just make me do it!

also upon some closer looking and reflection, this board has been beaten on with some gorilla hands! the SMD resistor is gone, some of the solder pads look burnt ( not sure if they are even usable at this point ) and I think they have the wrong value resistors in there.

this is looking more and more like a lost cause for this board. If I do magically get it working and figure out the change, then I'll post it here, otherwise have a great weekend

 

Yeah if u do fanger it out, u could def help others who found themselves in the same situation by offering up what you learned.
The weekend, enjoy yours as well.
