2007 Toyota Tacoma 3.5mm jack options.

I am a new Tacoma owner, and would like to inquire about the best ways to get a 3.5mm jack installed with my stock radio. I have the most base 2007 model, no JBL or aftermarket, but I really want to listen to MP3's. Some later model Tacomas came with additional positions to add more inputs on the lower dash trim. I can not find any of these trim options for sale. Any insight would be appreciated! Thank You!

 

I have for sale a GTA car kit that plugs into the back of the stock radio and lets you connect to either bluetooth or the 3.5mm jack routed to the glove box or similar. The kit I have is the pure bluetooth. I'm willing to sell for $80 OBO shipped. Has the microphone too.

I have a GTA car kit in mine, it's pretty sweet. Easy to install, adds bluetooth, a usb port for charging, and a 3.5mm jack. Easy to wire it to a jack that'll go in one of your switch blanks or just into a hole in the dash though. If you're trying to go cheaper/most labor intensive/more terrifying, there's a thread somewhere deep in TW that goes into soldering an aux input into the board of the radio with mixed success rates.

 

just put in an aftermarket stereo. you can thank me later

 

for my beater (2006 reg cab 5 lug base), I just bought one of those Bluetooth FM transmitters for $15 on Amazon. Works pretty damn good all things considered.

 

Here's what I did on my 07

same, going 3 years strong on the same one, not bad for 15 bucks

 

I bought a 2010 radio from a member on here and wired in the aux input with this writeup. Except without the ground noise isolator thingy.

Has great sound quality and uses the factory aux in the radio.

 

Assuming your head unit accommodates an aux connection, the process is not that hard. I did a tutorial a few years back if it helps: AUX JACK/USB INSTALLATION
