    Has anyone installed one of these in a 3rd gen Tacoma? I like the unit but am having a hard time in getting good info on whether or not certain things will still work.

    Backup camera?
    Steering wheel controls?
    Center display?

    I know I will loose the settings for the truck that can be changed from the entune system but I understand that there is software out there that I can get and connect via odb to make the same changes.

    Comments please

    I got an email back from joying. They asked me if the truck had an amp like a jbl and did it have canbus. I have heard about canbus but don't know if the tacoma is using it for the head unit. I imagine that the stereo has an amp but is it part of the stock oem head unit or a separate unit that would stay if I change the head unit.

    I know there have been installs of these units in the 2nd gen tacomas but not sure of the differences between 2nd and 3rd for this area.

    Comments please.

    I was wondering the same thing. There still isn't a whole lot of information out there on whether these can be installed on third gens. I contacted joying to ask about this, but there seems to be a bit of a language barrier. They also asked me if I had the jbl system with the amp, which I don't, to which they responded that these units will not work on the jbl systems. From the installs that I have seen on 2nd gens and other vehicles, the backup camera is basically plug n play, and all the steering wheel controls can be mapped through the settings. I'd also like to find out if someone has installed one of these on a 3rd gen.
