What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Raw bears.

 

I have this same unit. I haven’t installed yet because I saw a shitty dash microphone. Can you use the mic that in the headliner of the truck? Also, do you actually have to get a SIM card, or just using your phone enough?

 

No you will always have your warranty, but

tacomas dont require the mic

 

You dont need a sim, i generally tether to my phone but indo have 10gb of data. If you dont use sim, you dont need to install the sim card holder or the 4g atenna

 

awesome thanks! I pulled it all out and was like, hell naw! I’m not putting that mic on my dash!

I’ll get back to it this weekend. Thanks dude.

 

Since the unit will always connect to home wifi when i park in my garage, it automatically updates things such as weather when i get home. Also since it automatically connects to my home wifi, i usually dont start the carplay until im out of ramge of home wifi

 

yes, just pops off. The inverter sits behind the vents, but room above, and tons if you don’t have the inverter.

Thanks !

 

I have the Joying. It was an easy PnP install and both Android Auto and Apple Carplay work fine. Both wireless. The Joying unit was $299 from Amazon. I have only two minor issues with it: 1. The ring tone is kind of obnoxious and apparently cannot be changed; 2. You lose the compass in the dash display. Not a big deal if you are using Google or Apple maps. Joying was very responsive to emails.

 

looks great what did you use to cut it so straight?

 

factory mic?

 

It comes with a mic but tacomas dont need it. We use our factory mic

 

Is there a custom paint job thread? I wanna see some of that.

 

What is the silver box behind that cover? I could never figure it out.

 

Installed a dashcam and a ECT always on device today.

 

Just put installed my Resistors from Meso in for my TTS1 and VLed license plate lights. Had to take advantage of the warmer weather and do something small as the snow melted around me hah.

I am not electronically or electrically inclined but do you have a step by step for this? Like a dumbed down step by step?

 

I sold my 2019 Tacoma and pulled all my aftermarket parts off.

 

It makes a big difference, huh?

Just for grins, after trying white leds, I tried RED leds.
