    Does anyone know if the new tacomas have a dvd drive to watch movies or if it is just a cd drive. If its not is there any known working mods to stream video from phone to tacoma screen. Thanks

    There's a cable connection that uses the aux connection to the back of the unit. It requires a cable connected to the head unit though and it just mirrors what is playing on the phone. Pretty sure this was for iPhone.

    If you do it down below the head unit and come out above the phone charging pad it wouldn't be bad there. You may even be able to add an additional usb connection to make it look factory.

    I have the sr5 version so no charging pad but im wondering if the this would still work since the video shows the 7inch touchscreen vs the sr5 one. How would you do the usb port method. Go from male to female connector using stock parts?

    This unit was on an entune premium. I would just replace it with an apple CarPlay head unit.
