    Hello,

    I just bought a 2011 Tacoma TRD to be able to explore the SW desert. It is going to be a work truck that I bought to drive in the desert, camp from and carry trash to the dump but I do like my creature comforts.

    I have much to learn and much to fix but here are my immediate priorities. I am looking for the cheapest way to exchange the current radio CD player unit for one that will integrate phone, Sirius radio and GPS operation. I am also interested in adding running lights and proximity door locks.

    Any ideas on a radio upgrade that would accomplish the above without breaking the bank are greatly appreciated.

    I am already looking through the site for ideas but if anyone can give a steer to existing ideas, I would be grateful.

    Desert Lover
