Pocket under radio

Anyone who has changed radios to a 1 din, what did you do with that useless pocket?

 

I don't know but you need to get one of these ...

 

My flash drive was free!

 

1992 called and wants their radio back?

 

It's pretty useless unless you smoke. Pack of cigs fits great in there.

What's wrong with his radio?

 

Unreadable display, lack of does anything....

 

Room for a CB?

 

Says CCR right on the screen. I can read it just fine.
It plays music and off a thumb drive as well.
Has volume control.

What else does it need to do?

 

Uh, lets see... phone calls, mapping, torque, ... there are a thousand things a modern car radio can do that 1992 can't.

More interesting question though... is what happened to the factory radio, which also does more than this one. And I think that there are enough people who take out the factory radio that one could be obtained for cheaper than the dash kit to fit a single-DIN old radio.

 

All of those are not necessary to a head unit. You do realize there are people out there who just want to listen to music and don't give a shit about all the other features? Other people don't want to spend a lot of money on a head unit and don't need any bells and whistles as well.

 

So what's wrong with the one that it CAME WITH then?

 

I had an hold drilled in the back of it and kept an ipod in there with the cable running to the rear of the HU. It kept it out of direct sight and freed the front USB port for charging my phone. Otherwise anything else I tried there just fell out while driving.

 

I'll put it the same way you did earlier.

Uh, lets see... could of died, could of been stolen, he wanted the USB upgrade only, ... there are a thousand reasons that someone would replace the stock HU.

 

The factory radio has a usb jack. Or at least mine did. And like I said, there enough of them taken off to get one for basically free.

 

maybe he didn't like it and this one makes

I was really underwhelmed with the output of the stock HU personally.

 

What if someone gave him that one for free? Again, maybe he wanted some upgrades like more power. Maybe he likes the look. Lots of reasons why people do what people do.

And yes the stock HU's power output is pretty bad.

 

My OEM radio did not have USB, or an auxiliary input. Now I'm set. Best $70 I have spent on my truck. Yes, I would love one of the big new units with GPS, etc., but I don't live with my mommy.

 

We need a new thread on the forum....

"Why Did You Do That To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today"

You can quote someone's post and tag them in that thread to start a bickering match and keep it out of the original. Sheesh, luckily OP didn't buy a cheap bumper as well..... or did he?

 

My old car had a tape deck so I used the slide for my Discman.

Nowadays I stick a couple of CD cases in the pocket. I keep my smokes in the small tray near the steering column.

Oh yes, beautiful cat. Maine coon? I had a 50% coon looked just like that
