    I have one headed my way. Once I have it all installed, I'll have a video up on my YouTube channel, Tacoma Network. My only reservations on the looks is that it doesn't really match color wise with the interior. I asked about it coming in Matte Black or dark grey like all Tacoma interiors and they said that it's only available in that white/silver.

    It should fit in any 3rd gen - Cartrimhome just posted a video (although not a very good one, it has no audio and no instructions) but you can see it put in a 3rd gen with the CD slot, so 2016-2019.

    Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out. I am also looking for a new head unit.

    I just got the base model 4, 64G with Black vents. I don't think you'll need more if you're running CarPlay mostly

    I love this thing! It's been in the truck for 10 days now and it's solid, no issues. Boots up with CarPlay in 10-15 seconds before I even leave the driveway. All steering wheel controls work just like the stock unit.

    I have the Kicker Upgraded 6x9 and 6.25's in the doors and the Subaru/Kicker tweeters in the dash. I found that the Cartrimhome C12 sounded as good, if not better than the stock non-JBL headunit. I don't feel it's lacking at all in the sound category.

    Is this plug and play if you have the upgraded audio combo on your stock system?

    Does anyone know if the wiring harness for the 3rd gen tacoma is the same as the 4th gen tacoma. I am trying to upgrade my 4th gen tacoma radio but I can not find much info or kits for it.
