    Anyone know where to buy an aftermarket nav/gps antenna for a factory 2015 Tacoma touch screen?

    Cheapest place is probably the junkyard to get an OEM antenna. Any reason you want/need an aftermarket antenna?

    Aftermarket becuase I don't want to pay hundreds at the dealer, to difficult finding parts for Tacoma's here at scrap yards, they don't last and go fast

    If your truck has the uplevel radio with Sirius XM it should already be equipped with the GPS antenna.

    Ah, I seem to recall coming across one when I was researching putting a nav radio in mine but then I found out it already had one. That was a long time ago though.

    Have you looked on ebay for a used one?

    I've looked at eBay, Amazon, online. Closest one I could find is from ebay... But it requires you to hot glue it in the back of the head unit, I'm not into hack jobs

    Looking on car-part.com it seems they go for anywhere between $60 and $200 for OEM. You'd have to look through and call them to see if they just chop it out, or if they'd get the wiring too. But if you can't find one locally at a DIY salvage pull or in the TW for sale threads this might be your best bet.

    Aftermarket: Sometime in the near-ish future I've considered removing my OEM antenna because it does me no good. Sorry not selling mine, but I bring this up because I'm planning to replace it with an EM Wave aftermarket base that has an NMO mount for a comms antenna. Here's a link to where I first saw that idea. Granted I have an aftermarket radio and I'm willing to F around with headaches from custom wiring - if that isn't your cup of tea, circle back to the OEM junkyard idea, it's way easier. EM Wave might make a different model base/antenna that would be more OEM but you'd have to search their catalog because I don't have it memorized and we're getting in the weeds here.
