Installing 2012 stock radio in a pre-2012

Successfully installed steering wheel audio control, BT calling control and voice activated control. I had the plain jane steering wheel and this is a big improvement and taking the full advantage of the 2014 Entune NAV HU.



Volume + & - works, Channel < & > works, Mode function works, Bluetooth calling works and Voice Command Activation function works. Everything's working flawlessly and yes this is on an 08 without any of that fancy premium package.

 

There is no cutting required if you buy the surround...

 

Actually the only reason I cut it was because I had a spare surround

The 2012 entune with navi (and 2013) run off or the jbl system...so if you have a base model so if you don't have the jbl system I'd advice to look for a 2014 entune plus with navi non jbl so it's easier to plug in etc

Looks good man...I'm looking for a newer steering wheel then maybe do the whole steering wheel control Integration

This is true^^

 

OHHH I thought in the original post Jerez cut hit dash behind the radio! Thanks for the info

 

yea with a 2013 touchscreen i needed to trim it a bit....with the 14 im sure i wouldnt have needed to do it because the back is slightly slimmer

 

Alright, my radio showed up today. 2014 non JBL w/ nav & entunes.

Installed it in the truck to make sure it works. It does. I still need to order the rest of my harness and other parts now, but I have a few questions...

1. The radio I have doesnt have the 2 side pins that hold the radio to the bezel. Does anyone have the part number for these? Pictured below -



2. Does anyone have a part number or size of the 2 screws that goes through the top of the radio bracket into the bezel? Pictured below -

 

worse case scenario you can get substitute those parts. pretty sure can find some at Orei'lly or something.

Or ask the seller why he/she didn't include them.

 

Got the push pins and screws sorted out with parts from the hardware store.

1 last question....

2011 non JBL radio...

I have this 1 plug left that I cannot figure out. It appears to be some kind of antenna plug, maybe?

It was wrapped in foam and taped off from the rest of the plugs.







Any ideas.


:beer:

 

Either the Nav or Sat radio would be my guess.

 

ok so if you get the entire unit, stereo, vents climate control, then it all fits in pre 2012 as long as you change the wiring? as far as the climate control wiring goes could you not cut the 2012 connection back a few inches, splice the wires and plug it in? The stereo you obviously need a harness for, where would you find that harness? Im mostly after the climate controls in a 2013 because the color change but I like the black look, ultimately I can paint the whole thing but I cant change the color of the climate controls. thoughts?

 

For all of your guys that bought the 2014 and installed in the 07-09 tacomas did you guys have to wire in the speed sensor to get the navi to work?

 

Nope. Mines working flawlessly.

 

I guess i'll go double check the gps antena

 

Remounted the gps antenna further between the two air ducts, seems to work. I drove around and it looked like its not so accurate and was jumping around. I seem to have good strength, 3 cars and the HD symbol. I'll try again on a not so cloudy day.

 

thatswhere mine sits
sorry i hadnt notice this thread was up lol

 

No biggy, I'm sure you guys are out hitting the road out there

 

I mounted mines just above the passenger side glove box.

 

adio - where did you get the bluetooth control buttons? price?

As for jerez. You said there were 4 levels of the 2014 radio/. Guess I am looking for the Nav/Entune Touchscreen/ non JBL <-- unless there is a better version?

Is the SAT Radio a separate module? If so, where is the OEM mounting location? PIC?

Is the BLUETOOTH a separate module? If so, where is the OEM mounting location? PIC?

 

Bluetooth built-in, XM module is separate and mounts right under the radio. If you look in the For Sale section you'll find a member named FLtrucks who sales brand new units, and I mean new as in it was just manufactured.

 

Got a pic of the SAT module?
