    Hi all.
    Thinking in replacing the HD unit in my 17 TRD Sport double cab with this Alpine iLX-F309 .
    Seems to be able to keep all the factory options but just wanted to make sure I’m not forgetting something.
    I don’t use the service records feature.

    TIA.

    Other than easily retaining factory microphone for bluetooth. It can be done but requires work, only reason I haven't replaced mine with my android auto son y head unit, I don't want to add a microphone, and too lazy so far to require he factory one.

    Thanks for the reply. Where is the factory microphone anyways? Lol.
    I don’t want to loose that either. And if I do have it installed. I’m planning in having it professionally done.
