@Ledautomotive did you get a fix for your 2 plugs?

@H20man stopped messing with it. Been working a lot and doing other projects. I was gonna try to find a junk yard tacoma 2014 or newer and cut off the harness

Some pictures of the recent install I did on my truck. Thanks to @RandyRiot for hooking me up with the head unit. He still has a non JBL one available if anyone is interested. (link)

It took a little modification but it actually fits pretty well. I have a 2005 Jbl taco with a wiring harness I made. Once you get the bezel to fit it is pretty much plug and play with the 2014+ wiring. There is lots of info on this site on how to make these work with older trucks so I'll spare you all those details. Probably not a mod for everyone but if you're good with a dremel it only took about an hour or so of cutting and sanding.

I still want to clean up the edges a little more and possible repainted the bezel but I'm happy with it so far. This one replaces the '14 non nav. Touchscreen that I accident cracked so this is definitely an upgrade!

Any chance you have better pics of the final mounting? The pic you have is quite dark, especially on the bottom. I'm close to pulling the trigger on this mod but need a little push before cutting into the bezel!

Did you still use the two Phillips screws at the top or did they have to get deleted?
