No Maestro for 2023 Tacomas

Hey guys...first post so be gentle.

I'm trying to upgrade the audio in a non-JBL '23 Tacoma.
I've read around here that regardless of the line processor one uses, there is a tendency for the system to have white noise...and I don't want to spend that much money and still have that problem.

So, I decided to get an aftermarket head unit. The shop said Maestro wasn't showing a product compatable with the '23 Tacoma...but they took the unit out to see if anything had changed from the '22 Tacoma. They explained that the connection had changed, and that they would have to manually splice and connect the new head unit to the system. This would retain rear camera and steering wheel functions, but would lose the other functions. More importantly, they said that if I had problems later on, Toyota would certainly blame the install and void the warranty.

I contacted Maestro and this was their response:

Hello, xxxxxxx and thank you for reaching out to us.

We are constantly adding new vehicles to our supported vehicles list, unfortunately at the present time we do not have an ETA on when or if there will be any support for the
Toyota 2023 Tacoma.

You can check for newly supported vehicles at any time by using the link below.

With all of the above in mind (and I'd be thrilled to have someone explain that I'm wrong), is a plug and play system the best way to go? There's no splicing and I could always swap the radios again if necessary--and I would keep full functionality.

Any and all thoughts, comments are appreciated!

 

A while back I was helping a member here get a Maestro DSR1 up and running in a 22, when they had only announced the 21 firmware. The connectors even fit, but the device did not work because the software it was trying to communicate with was different. I personally would not go the cut and spice route. If the connectors aren’t even the same, who is to say that the software will work? And if the software does not work, do you have now cut and spliced your factory wiring for nothing.

 

If it was my truck, I would wait.

 

Thanks for the replies.
I think I've decided on a short term solution: I'm going to connect a bluetooth receiver (JL Audio MBT-RX) directly to the amp.
This should get me by...though I'll probably need to upgrade to a better streaming service that has a better eq.
