    No thank you, Looking for a JBL, If they had the regular non touch screen head unit JBL for 12+ I would take that. But I think only the Entunes are JBL.

    Thanks for the offer though.

    Looks good! Would you mind posting some pictures in the daylight? I've been really considering the AVH-X3500BHS for my 2012. After owning it for a while now, have you noticed anything that you don't like about it? Thanks!

    There are a few nuances. I wish the screen would tilt from the top out to help with reducing sun glare. It tilts, but only from the bottom, assuming that this helps those that are installing it way low in the dash like earlier Tacomas require. Also dislike the fact the even with the steering wheel control adapter you still lose some the phone calling features. I also miss the buttons from the stock radio to choose stations or what not because the pioneer has small circles that are hard to hit sometimes while driving, especially the lowest circle that is interferred with by the bar at the bottom of the stereo. And of course the wasted space that is left by the new surround, versus sitting more flush with the stereo's face makes it look aftermarket all the way. Like I said, small nuances, but I guess the trade off is worth it since the stereo now sounds much better. I wish I could just buy a fancy equalizer and leave the stock radio, but then again I guess the amp is still much better in the Pioneer leaving the equalizer add on not getting me where I want to be in terms of staying stock looking.[​IMG]

    Looks great. I know what you mean about the buttons for the presets. They are pretty small.

    I hooked mine up in a 2011. I don't know if it is the same but you have to cut hard wire 3 wires to the steering wheel clip. It is the clip that isn't being used with your aftermarket head unit.

    I have metra and its seems perfect - no gaps and looks factory. my installer who is as professional as they come, is of the opinion that the schoshe is shit.
