    Wonder if anyone here can give me some advice. I have searched the forums and the net for answers, but still coming up empty.
    This is what I am looking for.
    antenna_zpsabivopve_533d5c12f18625581b83f73bc1b50982a45c2fb5.jpg
    I have seen these on ebay, bu the number is different:
    ebay%20antenna_zpsmrml3cgw_b7137850c56d9a608a03b92851902a6426e2d31c.jpg

    Does anyone know if this would work just as well?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    They are all interchangeable really but what you have to watch for is the connector, the 33100 you show will not work it has a GT5 connector and you need the one with the white connector like the 0C010. here is a link to a ebay for a camry antenna that will work http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-TOYOTA...080-/371417542570?vxp=mtr&hash=item567a35efaa
    I do have a adapter cable that goes from GT5 to the white connector I would sell for 50$ but with the cost of the antenna plus the 50$ for the adapter you would be better off get the Camry antenna.

    The 0c010 is a Tundra part not to split hairs

    Hey guys, Antenna showed up from Ebay today that DukinDal gave me the link for.
    Connector is the right one.
    Will install tonight or this weekend and post the outcome.

    Got this installed this morning and success!! I have a traffic map, Weather, and the time displayed now. I put it up on the dash to test before mounting with double sided tape under the dash. All is working well so far. So it looks like the 2014 Camry antenna is a match for the 2015 Tacoma for the GPS antenna. I was able to work a deal from https://www.tlsautorecycling.com/ they are the ones that had this on ebay. I ended up with a best offer of $140.00, kind of steep, but better than the price for new.

    Good deal - the price of the GPS antenna is off puttting for many considering an OEM radio upgrade. The adapter is good to have in cases where a GPS antenna from another model might be had cheaper than the 0C010 antenna.

    @DunkinDal - you are making the adapters? There was some discussion that the Toyota GPS antenna functionally is the same as the cheaper and more plentiful Sirius antennas. We know the plugs are obviously different. Do you know if this is true?

    Weather and traffic are one of the built-in apps on the plus model. I had to have that GPS antenna in order to get the time weather and traffic.

    Ok, I have the same model and have the OEM GPS antenna connected. Will have to get out the manual as I must be missing something

    Any chance that placement of the antenna is critical? Neither the weather nor traffic tile appears in my apps menu. Are either of the other antennas required besides the GPS? I dont have either of the colored plugged antennas installed.

    Let me see if I can get you some pics of my screen in a little bit here. When I push the "APPS" button on the head unit 2 of the options are "weather" and the other is "traffic" Neither of these would function since I did not have a GPS antenna, so the radio had no idea of it's location in the world. It would not even show the current time on the screen without the GPS antenna. From my observation here it would seem that the gps does nothing more than tell the radio where it is and sets the time on the head unit. The traffic and weather data are then downloaded from the HD Radio ability, but it wont do this without the GPS antenna to set your location. In my previous post, I have a pic of the antenna and the connector, does you connector look like that? I wish I would have shot a pic of the back of the radio and where it plugs into. If you were facing the radio and looking over the top of it to the back, the connector would be on the top left or close to the top.
    I will grab some pics real quick and put them up here for your reference. Just found a pic of the back of the head unit. Ran down and shot some more. Hope this helps you a bit. I don't have the Shark Fin on my truck and I am no expert here at all but I think if you did it would take care of both XM and GPS, but would use the connector at the far right of the radio. I mounted my GPS antenna under the dash and just used double sided tape to secure it. My XM antenna is just mounted on top of my dash right now until I find a better place for it.

    Thanks for the response and pics. I have the GPS antenna installed (half round white plug) but the weather and traffic tiles arent there in the menu when I hit the APPS button. I am traveling this week and should be home this evening. I can try moving the antenna to a different location and check the manual to see if there is something I missed

    I almost wonder if your head unit needs a software update. My head unit showed those apps even before I hooked up a GPS antenna. I'm a little baffled why you don't have the apps since you have the exact same model number head unit as mine. Wish I could be of more help on this one for you. Are you even getting the time on yours to display?

    Ok, just checked and this is the screen I get when I hit the APPS button and I do have the correct GPS antenna plugged in.
