Adding real am/fm antenna

OP were you able to do this mod? Significantly better signal?

 

On that elektech adaptor, what is the blue wire for?

 

Ok, finally did it- here is my setup. It works so well, I can now get HD FM from my favorite station over 100 miles away. Post #131943

How/where did you run the antenna wire to get to the back of the head unit? And which plug does it go into on the back of the head unit?

 

People still listen to FM radio?

 

Yup, everyday!

 

As your looking at the back of your stereo, it’s all the way to the right. It’s the rectangular plug. It’s definitely tricky wiring it but once you’re under there you’ll figure it out

 

Thanks. This is an issue because that little obnoxious shark fin type antenna will naturally only have dismal receive due to such a small size.

 

Sorry I didn’t get back to you I just saw this post, you didn’t quote my post or flagged my name, so it didn’t alert me to what you asked. Anyway, I just ran the cable down through my back window between the backseats and under them, under the rear floormat between the passenger seat and the center console, then I tucked the cable along the plastic edge of the center console and then ran it up along the firewall behind the vents. If you look down from behind the head unit space, there’s a space towards the driver’s side that you can run the cable up to the head unit.

 

Who makes the head unit's for 3rd gen tacoma?, thanks...I have a 2017 and I was curious...also about the navigation

 

Panasonic for 16-19, not sure about the new one for 20.

 

The navigation too?, thanks
