    So, I relocated my USB-Media port behind my dash so that it would be out of view and allow me to cleanly run a USB cable to my phone, mounted above the radio with the by Taco Garage. Doing so, obviously created a void where the USB-Media port was. I searched all over the place hoping someone had made a blank for the media port, but all I found was multiple posts of people asking for a solution.

    After much trial and error, I think I came up with a "good enough for government work" solution. You can get the STL file here.

    I recommend printing with either ABS or PETG to prevent warping in hotter climates. If you want to add some texture to the face of the piece, you could try spray painting it with some black textured paint.

    Would be cool if we had a section for 3D printing parts on here too.

    I will not be printing these for people as I do not have the time nor the resources to do so. If someone on here wants to print them for people, go for it, HOWEVER, as this is my work and my small contribution to the Tacoma community, I do NOT give anyone permission to monetize this design.

    What is the "ETC PWR" button for? I don't have one in my Tacoma.

    I guess I'm not technically savvy enough to understand what "vroom, vroom" means. :p

    Edit: I just looked it up in my Owner's Manual; I see it is an automatic transmission thing; I have three pedals under my dash and no "ETC PWR" button.

    Actually ECT is for when you are pulling a trailer, going uphill. Press the button and it causes the tranny to take longer to shift in between gears, so that you get a boost when going uphill.

    I legit just thought you were trolling judging by your post count lol. Yea, it's for the automatic transmission. It just allows the trans to shift at higher RPMs, essentially just a "Tow/Haul" mode. I wish I could've found a manual. You're lucky.

    I don't get the three pedals things, maybe it was morphed by the borg.
