    l have a 2013 TRD Sport that the control for changing the songs does not always work. You have to fiddle with it and even then sometimes it doesn’t work. Sometimes you can touch it once and it does work. In any case, I would like to change it out. My problem is that the 2013 replacement is like 300.00. The 2014 is only 101.00. Does anyone know the difference between the the two? Seems like I saw a post where someone did this but can’t seem to find it.

    2014 has a slightly different button layout and some buttons won’t end up doing anything (like voice command stuff and all that) but otherwise it works the same.

    I actually swapped my 13 controls out for a set of 2014 controls. No idea why they cost so much more.

    The MAIN issue with 2014 controls is you will have to add a pin/ground wire to the clock spring harness to get the LEDs to light up on your 2013.
