apple play

is it possible to get apple play on my 2008 toyota tacoma ?? like the switch the whole stereo and add an apple play screen

 

Sure, I went with the Pioneer DMH 1500nex, works great. $380 installed

 

Yes there’s plenty of aftermarket radios now that support Apple CarPlay. I have a sony in mine. Works great and has an actual volume . knob

 

This is the exact setup I am interested in putting in my 2011! A couple of questions if you don't mind:
1) That volume knob does not control power, correct? If that's right, where's the on/off?
2) Did you hook up your tailgate camera to the head unit or leave it on the rear view mirror?

 

go to crutchfield.com pretty great resource for researching what will work for you. i went with a Alpine ILX-259, its a Single DIN but a massive screen that sticks out which i like

 

the on/off is the same button you push it in . And yes i did hook up the camera and i also did the anytime camera mod

 

Good info, thanks.

When you connected the camera, did you have to mod the cable to get it to connect to RCA? How's the image quality? I'm thinking of replacing the camera to get a higher quality view but it seems to be a lot of work.

 

If you use a heavy gauge rca cable the picture is pretty good. I cut the end and tapped into the fuse panel connector. Lower driver side its a white connector. There’s a thread on how to tap into the harness.its a red and white cable
