    Has anyone looked into or put one of these in the tacoma? I would love to go with one of these as a replacement for my stereo

    It is a pure android 6.x inch display built for factory pnp you will still have steering wheel controls and phone connection.

    I put one in my VW passat and it was REALLY REALLY bad man - the integration between basic media and audio and android makes it feel like it's not at all integrated. I would encourage you to stick to stuff that is well proven - I took that thing out in less than 2 days and sent it back.

    I like the idea of a pure android device, I just don't thikn it's there yet.

    Would love a pure android option. That being said , something about that website and their products seems sketchy. If walmart.com and Amazon.com had a one night stand their off spring would look like that website.

    Can your phone do Mirror Link or HDMI output? Check out Crutchfield because they have plenty of Android receivers and APP radios

    I have new Pioneer like this one.. .their apps and android integration are horrible. Besides, at the end of the day, I really don't need the android integration. Using BT, Pandora, etc. is not for me because the quality of the music is horrible. For those who don't care about quality, streaming from their phone, etc. if fine.
