    I mentioned it in the other thread, but my 2014 build sheet does NOT have the auto-dimming mirror or temp gauge. Personally, I don't care and would rather save the $165.

    For anyone with a 2014, does the head unit display outside temp?

    So the TRD Sport appears to come with one, but the TRD Off Road does not. I have a 2014 access 4x4 V6 TRD Off Road and it did not come with it. I did look at a 2014 access 4x4 V6 TRD Sport and it did have it. My TRD OR window sticker does not indicate the Auto Dim Mirror but the sport window sticker did. It seems they just did not think people who got the OR would want it I guess as its not even an option. This is also in MD which has a different Toyota distributor (Toyota Central Atlantic), between the different distributors they offer different packages. Perhaps its different between all of them :notsure:

    I guess the question is does anyone know a cheap place to get it from. I saw another post on here where someone checked and found the harness for it. I checked a few different websites for toyota parts and it looks like its over $500, screw that nonsense.

    I just bought a 14 TRD OR as well, no temp displayed anywhere (mirror, dash, entune, etc). But then again I live in Houston. Don't need a thermometer to tell me it's frikin hot.

    Head units don't display any vehicle information. You'd think a nice touch screen radio would, but nope. Unless they really changed them for 2014 which I haven't seen any evidence of yet.

    Where the hell is it in the 2014 trd sport? Auto dimming mirror only has direction on it. (Type B auto dimming mirror).

    i have camera it, comes up on lcd screen when i put it in reverse,,,,,, window sticker came with all the paperwork.. no temp gauge, compass.or homelink listed on the window sticker... it was listed on website of dealer as option.. they honored it by giving me the option to have it installed or the 450. check... the temp gauge would have been nice.. but the 450.00 check is nicer,, can buy a bugshield and something else with the 450.00

    I was told by the G/M of the dealership I bought my 2014 at, that...

    TOYOTA NO LONGER INCLUDES BUILD-SHEETS STUCK TO THE WINDOW, as of 2014.

    Contact the dealer & they will "print you one off", is what I was told. I've yet to go back & get it...

    As for the outside-temp gauge, hmmm... BRB

    * anybody read the owners manual ???

    I don't know if they changed it for 2014 but the head unit will display weather info (albeit using your phone).

    That is a good dealer and will most likely get a repeat customer out of that move.:thumbsup:

    The weather is displayed using the HD radio signal. Unfortunately it does NOT use your phone, if it did it might be accurate...

    I see...

    I just assumed it did since it brings up a screen that data usage may apply (or something similar) that it was running off my phone. Might help if I "actually" read the owners manual huh? lol

    How do you get it to display the weather? Wonder if my Canadian model will do this.

    Oh the GM dealer told you some slander about Toyota? Must be true.

    They all include build sheets on the window. It helps sell the vehicle.

    When I put a deposit on my 2014 TRD sport the gave me a two page build sheet of exactly what I was getting and it did come with a window sticker, no mention of the rear view mirror with temp guage on either, the dealer I was at stated that only came standard on the Limited.

    They kind of have to. It's called the law. Look up Monroney or something to that effect. Been a law since the 70's.

    I would be worried about the dealership.
