    Hi - I am new to the forum. I have a Toyota Tacoma 2013 Double Cab. I am not an audio or video guy, but I want to replace my factory stereo. I saw this on Amazon, but no reviews:

    http://www.amazon.com/Navigation-Bluetooth-Receiver-Astrium-GEE-5985/dp/B0094Y22T0/ref=pd_ybh_2

    I was wondering if anyone can recommend something similar. I have read the forums, but nothing really seemed to fit what I was looking for. I would also have someone install it. Any guidance on where to start would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    I haven't heard anything, good or bad, about this head unit. A few people have asked about it, but no one seems to know a whole lot. Another OEM looking head unit is this OttoNavi. I haven't heard anything on this one either.

    For about the same price or a little more, you can get a head unit with all those features from a trusted and well-established brand like Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, etc. Personally, that's what I would do. The only downside to going this route is you lose the OEM look. If you do go with the Astrium or OttoNavi, I'm sure we would all appreciate a little info on it once you get it installed.

    And I just came across another thread where someone has the OttoNavi and did a decent review of it. Here's the link. Enjoy!

    I have the Rosen, which looks the same as the one in the Amazon link, but with different software. Install is plug and play into non-JBL trucks... works fairly well - the navi leaves something to be desired, but all in all it was worth the 650 I paid. :eek:
