    I'd hope and assume, thanks! I'd be hopping from the JBL Entune Touch-Screen (1st gen from 2012).

    It was hilariously easy
    I have a 2015 with the backup camera in the dash, and even that is working, no adapters needed. No cutting wires, no soldering, all plug and play

    I did need this to retain the usb port in dash- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F0YJ49O , the port was there but it didn’t fit on the one joying provided. I didn’t test the aux audio port, I don’t care if it works honestly

    Steering wheel controls worked without programming too

    Ordered the PCV valve and now thinking of ordering the VVT solenoids and pulleys. The truck is getting some major TLC soon and don't see myself getting another chance of dumping money into it as the wife is in need of a new car.

    I purchased a Pioneer a year ago from best buy and have had issues with it. The screen goes blank, the mic wont work, the Bluetooth wont sync. Got my sister in law one last Christmas and she's had issues as well. Were sending them out to get looked over. Good thing I purchased the 4 year warranty. Anyway, Im thinking of going with this one. I read good things about it.

    Been eyeing these for a while. Want to go with their leds and get rid of the Tacomabeast garbage ones.

    Oh forgot to post What I did or What happened.

    Went to the century city mall this past weekend. The parking was pretty busy so they directed cars up to the roof where the mall staff would normally park. We were one of the first cars to park up there. They have those parking gates where you push for your ticket and the arm goes up but this one needed the employee key card for access. Anyway, the staff directing the traffic had the arm up on the way up to the roof but when we were leaving, we were caught in bumper to bumper and would've thought they'd keep the exit gate arm in the up position. As I was driving through it, it came down on my hood. It sensed it hit something, went up and came down again. It did that about 4 times. I couldn't drive forward or backwards cause I had cars in front and behind me. I have tiny dents on the hood now. Called the mall and they're looking through parking footage. I sent them pictures. Im just waiting to hear back. I should've known better but I would've thought they'd have a procedure this time of the year. We'll see if they'll cover the damage. My hood isn't in the best condition cause of the clear coat so it'd be win if they decide to fix it or replace the hood.

    Finally got the kicker 6”x9”s and the kicker tweeters mounted (yes I realize tweeters are upside down but it made the install easier on the wiring). Had to wait for mounting brackets and the harness adapters for the big boys. Pretty straight forward, only took a couple hours. Sound quality with new headset is noticeably better :rockband:

    Winter bed swap. Can't wash it as often as I like with the soft top on it.

    Not sure what you mean. I got adapters for the 6x9’s so I could just plug them straight into the oem harness then modified and flipped 2 of the wires in the harness going to the tweeters so it would fit.
