    I’ve read a handful of the posts about swapping out older OEM head units with newer ones. But they were mostly with 2014+ units.

    I have a 2008 non-JBL stereo with no Bluetooth, USB or AUX capabilities and would like to swap it out for a newer stereo with Bluetooth or AUX, without spending a ton of money or too much wiring work. I would like an OEM head unit. Would a 2012 unit be a plug and play, or should I get a 2010 or so?

    Would love any help I can get. Thanks!

    Thanks! But I would really prefer an original from a newer model Tacoma. They look better and are easier to use.

    Awesome, thanks for sending this. Looks like exactly what I’m looking for if I go with a 2012.
