    Hey fellas,
    I am looking for a little help with a small upgrade I am doing.
    I have an 06 that came OEM with JBL and I just purchased a fully loaded touchscreen JBL unit from a 2012.
    First and foremost, this has been done here before by Dibble9012 however it appears as though he is no longer an active member on this forum. He created a PDF with a write up and color coded wiring diagrams so that this could be a simple swap for future people. Unfortunately, the link to his PDF is no longer working.

    (PDF is referenced in post 37 of this link in case anyone is wondering: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/f-s-2012-factory-navigation-radio.237764/page-2)

    Does anyone have a copy of that PDF or know which wires need to be moved to which spots on the connectors?

    Also, I'll admit I am not an electrical guru or a wiring guy. I have no issue working with my hands and following directions for electrical stuff, but I'm not always the best at figuring this stuff out on my own. SO, with that said, I also am looking for advice/help on which parts I need to purchase to make this new radio work.
    From what I am gathering, I need a GPS antenna at the very least to get the nav to function. I believe the am/fm antenna is different though as well? It at least appears that way just based on comparisons of the back of the 06 and the 12 radio. So what other parts do I need?
    (For now I am looking to stream music via bluetooth and get the nav working. I will rig up the mic and steering wheel controls at a later date, so we can focus on those later on.)
