SONGEE Dash GPS Replacement for stock stero

I've only seen a couple posts about this stereo that is easy to install, as a nice plug and play. Has anyone tried it out? Its a 100 bucks off on Amazon right now. Its tempting but the 5 reviews are mixed and I cannot find anything out if they had any issues. Right now its 377 on Amazon.

Anything helps. Oh if you know of another style let me know please.

 

I personally wouldn't. The reviews don't convince me and it just seems too inexpensive for what it is offering.
I got a Kenwood unit from Crutchfield in my taco. They will set you up with everything you need for plug n play with all of the radios they sell. Have used them now for three different car installs.

 

Red flag immediately in description when it says it will fit 05-12. 2012 dash/interior changed. For the price it is not worth it. I bought a Pioneer 5-6 years ago and put in mine. I bought by harness and what not from Taco Tunes (note they have had bad reviews lately). They had videos on website on how to install. Everything was plug and play.

Pick you out a name brand with a better reputation.

 

I have a 2009 Tacoma so I am sure it will fit. However, upon reading the reviews it seems that the software doesn't align well. Im looking for something that has android auto but I don't want to break the bank or do all the splicing and wiring. Thanks for the advice.

 

Crutchfield sells adaptors so no need for splicing. Literally plug and play. You can get maestro to retain steering wheel controls and also add more features with OBD options.

Listen to these guys, and go through Crutchfield. Not the cheapest place to buy from, but the knowledge base alone makes it worth it, especially if you're doing the install. With a harness adapter, you can do the whole install without splicing into the factory harness, and retain the steering wheel controls (if you have them).

 

I got this through crutchfield (temp sold out there), and bought the trim plate and wiring harnesses through them for cheap.

Not sold out on Amazon though.

$329 Kenwood DMX7706S 6.95" Digital Media Receiver w/Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

It has Android Auto (wired) and it works great.

 

Y'all are awesome. I didn't even know about crutchfield, but I checked them out. Holy cow. Thanks everyone, I'm going with your recommendation. I actually save 100 bucks vs this set up. I'll post pics when I order and install it.

 

Good deal man. I did mine myself and I had never done an install before.

 

good luck. You are braver than I am. Amazon reviews look less than stellar.

Yes, it is more than the Songee. When it comes to electronics, you get what you pay for. I would consider the equivalent of buying a soundbar in place of home theater amp/speaker setup. If you buy the songee let us know how it works out.

 

What harness do I need to use my factory AUX IN?

 

Came as part of the

$61 Crux SWRTY-61S Radio Replacement with SWC Retention (for Select Toyota Vehicles 2003-2011)

Crux SWRTY-61S harness, but you can also just get an aftermarket Aux to put in place of the Aux In button.

 

@Blondie583 oof...I have a single din hu and the metra kit I used has a little pocket under the radio. Maybe an inch tall. With some creative juices flowing, a small cb might fit. Depth should be ok aside from a 90°coax connector for the antenna.
I'll get a pic and post it later.

 

@Blondie583 sorry about not getting back sooner. Here are a few pics.
This is a metra kit btw...



The depth is fine, unless you've got a rig that's deeper than the radio.
