I put in a Kenwood DMX906S within the first month and never looked back. For my needs, much better than stock.

As for skipping, can you point me to the thread(s) about this? I'm about to order one.

Because it's awesome.

I have CCRane SW Pocket that I love.

I also listen to records and CDs.

on your front camera install, how did you work around the radar cruise control element in the grill. I couldn't tell
from the pic
thanks

I went dasaita px6 on my 2019. Wireless carplay, front cam, etc. looks great, def has its quirks but good overall and way better than stock.

Yep, sure is...got that @ 2,000 miles. Pretty common here in CO in the winter, no sense replacing until the spring. I've had my Subaru Impreza since 2012 and am on my 5th windshield.

But it doesn't support XM?

I put a Joying Android unit in designed for Toyotas. Basically plug and play with no wire splicing. Steering controls work, independent GPS antenna. 2 usb ports, one of which connects to the stock USB in the dash. Added a 4tb hardrive and I can play all the music and movies I want. I hotspot my phone to it and it works great with only a minor bug here and there. Well worth the investment.

Any good choices? Any ones you really like? I'd also like to add a front camera if possible.

I have the base touch screen in my '20 Tacoma. I want to replace it with something that looks like it fits.

Just get the front camera mod!

I ordered the 4Runner T9 from cartrimhome on Friday. I just got the shipping number today. I also canceled my SiriusXM subscription and bought a 500GB portable rugged hard drive to fill with movies and all the music I could want.

The stock unit on the 4Runner with entune was the most disappointing thing about it. No other aftermarket radio looks as nice as this one.

I saw some of the posts above commenting on the music skipping. That is only with wireless carplay.

this is the t9. It is similar to dasita and other androids, but it has warranty and support. Its also cheaper at $380 shipped.(10% off with coupon) Its wireless carplay and wired android. Totally plug and play with no need for any other accessories. Retain all functions for camera, steering wheel and car settings. It has better audio output than kenwood, pioneer, and alpine. (4x30w). You can download any app from the google store or any apk from independant. Whereas kenwoods pioneers and alpines have carplay as their main feature, carplay is just an app in the t9. As a matter of fact, knowing how limited carplay is, these android units make carplay obsolete. It boggles my mind why anyone would pay $1500 for carplay, especially when they dont even fit the dash. Its either too small or too big. The halo has more bezel than screen. Its like you went back to those bigass ctr computer monitors. I stopped listening to mp3s, and just play mp4s(music videos). I also stream netflix, stream tv and movies from the various pirate sites, play golf, bowling, facebbok, instagram or just watch movies off the 64gb hard drive. It has splitscreen as seem in the picture, so you can do two apps at once. I literally could go on and on cuz literally, the skys the limit. Any other headunit, cant even compare because all they can do is carplay and thats it....sortof an insult, sortov a joke when considering they cost 2-5x the price of t9. Lots of different providers of android headunits, but none of them provide support or warranty. Only the t9 has a dedicated fb group with 4000+ members actively troubleshooting ideas and issues. I will bet you, the dasita guys havent figured out how to use their headunits with polarized sun glasses yet. Well we have cracked it. Not to push you either way, but im always comparing the competition and the t9 always comes out in top. Soon we will be having the software update for android 10 provided free. I dont think the same can be said for dasita and joying

Is there a lot of trimming needed to install this? Or does it perfectly replace the mounting and trim placement of the factory head unit?

Perfect not only in fit but performance. After having this, there is no alternative. The competition is years behind in every way

I watched a few youtube vids that reviewed it and they mentioned the skipping, and that the reviews they read said the same thing. That might be anecdotal, but I'm a little hesitant.

This thing about skipping is sortof a moot point. There is no point in ever using wireless carplay to play music off your phone. It would be redundant since you could just install the exact same app on the headunit and play it from there.

I like the JOYING cause it has a volume knob, also the capacitive icons look similar to OEM.
Still undecided though.
