    I'm wanting to update my factory radio in my 06 Tacoma and I want to stay with a factory setup. I found an OEM radio with touchscreen and Bluetooth that came out of a 2013 Tacoma. Has anyone that has a 05-11 Tacoma installed an OEM radio from a 2012+ model? Just curious if it will physically fit in the opening and what (if any) wiring would I have to change?
    Thanks!

    I think I spent $200 on the radio
    $100ish for the steering wheel controls & clock spring
    $70ish for the replacement airbag
    I was given a GPS antenna (value about $100)
    and maybe $50-70 for adapters

    just ball park it was 2 years ago so my numbers could be a bit off

    Thanks man. I think that is great info.

    I picked this radio up the other day for 10$ figured it would be cool but I am not sure I want to put hundreds into making it work vs buying a after market unit.
