Radio Recommendations

Used Tacoma but new to me. love truck so far, but as i was driving home it doesnt have satellite radio or hd radio Its a 13 access cab sport. any ideas as to what to put in have the Sirius tuner already, would like android auto, also have a single din that has bluetooth and hd radio and sirius ready. any help is appreciated.

 

Any kenwood excelon model are good I sell them all day everyday zero issues! But if you want to be fancy and get a big screen I’d do the stinger elev8 or alpine halo the screen are a lot bigger the downside is there designed to float in front of your dash but depending on your fav skill or shop you go to you can flush mount them! If your in northern Cali we can help you out!

Manny am way out east like over 3000 miles away. Just want a basic deck, nothing to fancy just don't want to use my phone as my radio.

 

The kenwood excelon dmx906s is a great radio! And anyone can install no modification req

 

How much, or should I look at crutchfield or Amazon

 

I bought my dmx906s from crutchfield, purchased the Crux harness package - not the maestro. Also bought the service where they hook everything up to save me the headache. All together it was about $700. It will be more expensive than others because it is wireless Carplay and Android Auto.

Please note: the Crux harness steering wheel control module doesn't seem to fully support the 906s yet. I'm having a ton of issues trying to get that to work correctly. Like 1 in 20 button presses make it to the head unit. Working with crutchfield and I'll probably call Crux to see if they know anything. I've heard the maestro works great though (which will add like $150).

 

That looks DOPE! Props from a fellow installer

 

After thinking about it I have decided to get the wiring harness, cause have a new single din. Truck doesn't have the shark fin anyway. Thanks to my ex who refused the deck and satellite radio lots more wires. Going to be a project.

 

Yea we stopped selling Crux at our shop years ago they kinda suck! PAC or maestro is the way to go!

 

I have a cart from Crutchfield for all i need, they have it as axcess module

 

Axcess is ok it’s not my preferred brand but we use it from time to time.

 

dont have any more options thats the 1 they picked for me

How much are those? The crutchfield 1 is 60 dollars so budget friendly

 

I finally bit the bullet and put a new Kenwood unit in my 2004 GMC. Now I have in dash GPS, USB phone connectivity and back up camera (and camera hookup for TC). Just take a big breath when you first see the installed cost.

 

For one I am going to do it myself. Can't afford a GPS unit, and back up camera won't go in deck. Thanks though
