Yes, that is what I used in my truck and it has worked well so far.

For the Steering wheel control harness, voltage step-down transformer, wiring, and programming it would be $205.

 

I got the Viper remote starter installed today. This should allow me to warm up the cab to above 32F before turning on the iPad. I also got the Garmin GLO hard wired into the ignition and the GoPoint BT1 OBD-II scanner installed (DashCommand App). I'm all ready to install the iPad!

 

Picked up the kits from the body shop today. Had to reject one of them on the spot and I will not be doing business with them anymore. For the extra money I paid them, the kits should have been 100% perfect and done last week. They tried to tell me that they would have to charge to fix the one that I rejected, too.... unbelievable.

Anyways, tacomanazul and bp7861's kits look good. I'll be putting the finishing touches on bp761's kit and shipping out in the next few days, and tacomnazuls kit should go out by the end of the week depending on how long the custom fabrications for the EQ / bass knob take.

Here's some pics of the current kits;

Sorry, Hunter. I'm sure you've already read my email but yours was the one that I rejected. It is beyond frustrating that I paid them extra to make sure that they turned out perfect and this is what it came to. Not to mention, that they had the audacity to try to charge me again to fix their poor work. I'll keep you updated with what is going on with your kit. I would just send you mine, but it isn't up to my standards either, which is the whole reason that I paid them extra this time to primer and sand the kits and take extra care to make them perfect.

 

Thanks man looks good can't wait.

 

Those look great Shane. I replied to your email; no worries man. Thanks a lot for holding the quality standard. I really appreciate it and I can't wait to get it installed!

Hey Shane do you have a pic of the epicenter knob I sent you ?

No, it's not installed on the kit yet. I'm probably going to have to make a different mount for it.

 

I mean just the knob, I want to see how it looks

 

Any updates on dash kit paint 2.0?

 

Hunter, I picked up your kit on Thursday and it looks much better. I didn't want to mess with it right away, just to make sure it had more than adequate time to cure. Been out of town all weekend but I'll be shipping it out this week along with the other two kits!

 

Awesome; I'm looking forward to getting it in!

 

have you shipped them?

 

Not yet. All of them will ship by the end of the week.

All of the kits are 100% done!

One thing came to my attention when pre-mounting the brackets for those of you who bought radios with your kits. For the 2005-2011 Tacomas, the radio will need to be mounted slightly differently than the 2012+ ones. I'm going to have to leave this part up to you, instead of pre-mounting them. It also makes the kits awkward to ship with them pre-mounted. It takes a little patience but it is not too difficult to get it right.

The installation of these kits is so straightforward that I will not be taking time to make an installation video. Instead, I welcome any of you who are installing one of my kits to contact me prior to doing so, or give me advanced notice of any questions / concerns and I can FaceTime you and walk you through the installation.

All of the kits look amazing and I will provide you with tracking information as soon as I ship them.

Here are some pics of the kits. Sorry, Hunter, I packed yours up as soon as I finished test fitment, but I can assure you that your kit looks bad ass!
