    Just bought a 2010 Tacoma Access cab TRD OR.. These wires are sticking out under the dash and I'm unsure of what they were once for? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

    The mini pin looks like an analog audio connection and the red-tipped connection to power. I’m guessing some sort of AV or GPS. The center console is easy to remove, I’d look for where the connections start so you can remove them safely, my .02.

    GPS or some sort of screen was my assumption as well.. looks like I'll be removing center console, there is an annoying noise going over bumps coming from under there anyways.
    Thanks!

    Predator tube steps, Ranch Hand grill guard, Magnaflow CatBack exhaust, Toyota tool box & bed mat, 2LO Module by @Up2NoGood, Rearview Compass/Temp Mirror, Tune by @JustDSM.
    My hunch would be XM Radio receiver.

    Radio, most likely
    Looks like power, mono audio (likely going to a speaker) and antenna connector

    Upon further inspection, I think this is correct. There's an XM antenna installed on the roof!

    Guess I have some fun ripping out wires ahead of me.
