2014 Navigation Unit in 2013

Speed wire should be there. Have to use supplied GPS receiver.

 

Can anyone tell me the secret to pulling wires out of the S8 connector? Apparently I butchered it pretty bad and need to replace it. I got the new connector from te.com just need to swap the wires from one to the other. Thanks in advanced for any useful responses.

 

There is a small rectangular bar. I think it has arrows on it that clicks down and locks in the contacts. To release it look at the sides of the S8 connector. You should see some small squarish holes where some tabs pop out. They are angled so that they "pop" out into the square hole to lock the keeper bar. You can use a dental pick to carefully press the locking tabs in and work the lock bar up. Once the bar is up you can pull the connector straight out the back. It does take a bit of force.

 

I destroyed mine trying to re-pin the original S8. I also found that the pins from TE where a lot harder to get to click into place than the original stock pins. I ended up taking a picture of the old harness for memory, cut the wires, sat at my bench and did all the work, then spliced and soldered the wires together after all the pins were in the correct spots and relocked. I found it easier then bending under my steering wheel trying to re-pin.

 

I FINALLY finished this job on my truck. I used 22 gauge wire and I think 20 gauge is the thickest you would want to go. I got my pins from TE.com using their sample request. I also ordered a spare S8 connector so I could test my pins before doing it for real on the truck. Everything works perfectly now and I'm very happy I did this mod to my 2013.

There is a large ground cable that mounts to the steering column with a phillips screw and that is where I grounded the illumination circuit using a crimp on eyelet.

 

You guys are amazing! Thanks for all your work and research!! Looks like I'll have to make my own harness though (wheel to HU). All I have is 1 green wire coming out S8. So Just for clarification--Only wanna do this once (Knowing me,I'll probably F'up somewhere anyways). This is on a 2014 taco.

S8 to N25 is Pin 6 to 21...5 to 22...4 to 23...3 to 24...( 9 to ground for illumination).

Connectors from TE are 1717115 for N25 plug
1717106 for S8 plug
1674311 for pins

 

Hi Guy's,

If all goes well I will have my new 2014 White Toyota Tacoma double cab Off-Road Friday as it it's the dock on the 18 June 2014 in Baltimore….

I am wanting to up grade my Entune w/out Nav to a Nav and I see everyone here talking about FLTrucks would anyone have a link?

 

Hello guys I am installing a 2014 Nav HU into my 2014 Off Road double cab are these basically plug and play or am i in for some challenges of installation?

 

I would go aftermarket before I went stock nav

 

Hi Yogster

can I install nav in to car system on tacoma trd 2014?

thanks

raffy

 

I put a 2014 Nav unit in my 2014 Tacoma and it was total plug and play. I had to remove the Sat Radio from the old HU and attach it to the new one but other then that it was a piece of cake. The Shark Fin handled the GPS so I didn't even need the Nav antenna that came with the Navigator.

 

Can ANYONE help me. I've been spending countless hours searching and researching and can find no answer. WHAT is this connector called? I don't have a factory SAT antenna and im trying to use a SIRUSXM antenna in its place.



I ordered this by accident and now am thinking its the wrong connector

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

 

I could never find that connector but it's a SMB female connection you could use this with the adapter you just got then remove the plastic housing around the other end and it will push onto the radio just need to secure it with tape glue ETC

Awesome thanks!

Would something like this work?

 

yes

 

I hope this isn't an annoying question. Im trying to hook up a 2013 nav screen in my 2012 trd sport. Everything matches except the Antenna, Steering wheel, and Nav connections... are these easily converted?

 

Okay I finally figured it out. The green wire(power) going to the camera needed to be moved to the gray wire(12v) on the other harness. Once I moved the wire the camera worked fine. I guess some non-OEM after market cameras require a bit more voltage to turn on, hope this helps someone else.

 

Thank you for the HU and XM mode FLTrucks! It was easy to install and setup. The one thing I have a question if anyone can answer is, on my '13 taco I already had headsfree and I have a mic above in the light console. I don't have the voice button on my controls. Which means I have to get new controls for the streering wheel, but do I need need another mic or can I use the same one?

 

All you need is the steering control and run 2 wires (for the directional pad and enter button that the '14 has) and you'll have fully functional 2014 HU and steering. I'll see if I can find the thread that they proved this on.

Here it is, post #190...

Thank you FawkQ. I saw that and I was thinking I was right on the wires. but wanted to make sure I didn't need a separate mic. I send sr5vic a pm asking if he still had the wire he made for that. I haven't heard from him yet.
