    2013 Grey Tacoma Sport Extended cab
    nothing as of yet
    Have a 13 sport, with a jvc 250bt, that i believe is going south also paired with the jvc an axcess aswc-1. Symptoms are as follows only 1 fm station nothing on am side. Replaced stock antenna with stubby. Cant use spotify built in, Bluetooth only. Also have new antenna wires and new pac interface to see if that was problem. Really want Sirius as I would like to retain that. Also hd radio, and time alignment/ equalizer. And android auto, and ability to use phone samsung s23 ultra, also have that cable that allows truck to be connected to radio. And backup cam into radio is already purchased.


    Have models I would like to replace with but wanted to ask if more brands/model?

    Have these 2 in mind the jvc 788bh, alpine w650 or the 407. Thanks for the help.

    Are you saying you “just” put in the JVC 250bt, or it’s been there a while and is on its way out?

    Before I/we recommend a new headunit, what are ALL your wants. I see AA and HD radio, is that all? USB maybe? Cameras? I’m going to say JVC or KENWOOD, mainly because you’re familiar with the menu layouts. The Alpines you’ve listed are good as well, the 650 being a short chassis, giving you more space behind the headunit.

    More suggestions will follow, just give us your wish list of features.

    Thanks for filling in the blanks. I’d suggest the 788bh for 2 reasons.
    1- Your used to JVC menus
    2- You have the add-on parts to make it work.

    You didn’t mention if you have the SiriusXM antenna adapter, so remember you’ll need one. You’ll also need the USB adapter for the JVC to use the factory location as well.
