    Hi, I'm looking for a good recommendation of a radio with carplay to replace the original boring radio on my fun 2nd gen double cab, under $200, budget is limited, thanks

    Carplay for under $200 is hard unless you buy used.

    For that price point I believe you're looking at a head unit straight off of Alibaba shipped from China based on Android OS.

    I'd see if @scootter82 is willing to ship his head unit that he removed when selling the truck. Same year and everything, so it should be plug and play to your 2014.

    You don't have the JBL head unit/speakers, do you? If so, that makes things a bit annoying with wiring.

    Looks like you don't have the JBL and his truck did, so there may be a slight change in how the harness is wired, but he has all the options.

    Where are you located, @Leia ?

    That's the only picture I found here with the same radio.
