    I did get some info from Trailgrid Pro on this. Either headunit will support any camera that has an RCA connection. Im leaning towards the Sony product because it will support 3 camera inputs. Im going to install new front, rear and maybe the passenger side camera in the mirror.

    Thanks for the info. I love the Sony's specs, but those bezels are from 2017. If Sony had a 10" HU with a display that was actually close to 10", it would be a insta-buy.

    What do you mean by bezels? The icons on the screen?

    No, the plastic trim around the display. It takes up a lot of space that should be the screen. Look at similar HUs from Alpine, Pioneer and Kenwood and you’ll see what I mean.

    So what's the best head unit to replace my OEM unit on my 21 TRD OR with the JBL sound system?

    As far as the bezels I don't really notice it anymore. Don't even remember what it looked like when I had the stock 7in stereo. Cabin feels normal to me now.
    for comparison my other car is a 2023 Rav4 with the big oem 11 in screen. it looks slightly bigger (which I know it is) and the bezels on that also feel big but don't really notice that anymore either.

    When I first got the Sony for my Tacoma, at first, I did feel like the bezels would bother me but after a few days it didnt.

    Did you ever find a solution to the rattle? At certain RPM’s I have a rattle that I can’t quite pinpoint. If I lift on the device slightly it seems to help, but I can’t determine exactly what’s rattling

    I'm having trouble installing mine on a 2019 SR5.
    I had an anytime Camera hooked up prior, I can't get this new unit to turn on.
