    Hola,

    Forgive me if I missed this being an already answered question,

    I took a premium entune radio out of my 2018 taco and put in a Pioneer 30-DMH-2660NEX.

    This radio has been great, using the datalink maestro I retained steering wheel controls and have the current audio displayed on my instrument cluster.

    What I lost however was the digital compass and other information I presume was coming from the GPS antennae.

    Since this headunit does not have built in nav even with adapters there is no where to connect my GPS antennae, and I didn't get the XM tuner because I don't care about ever paying for XM radio (I use Spotify 100% of the time).

    Is there a way to connect the GPS antennae directly to the datalink maestro to get it to pass basic nav data to the truck so I can get my compass back?
