What audio settings are yall running for stock sound system?

Whatever the kicker key 200.4 and 500.1 have self tuned to.

 

what vehicle settings do i need to control?

 

Lights, clock, door locks, ect.

Pretty much anything the standard HU would control.


Or did your MY never have those options ?

 

it had those options.

i set the auto headlight sensitivity before i pulled it(don't use the auto headlights anyways, as they don't have an 'on during wipers active, which most states require), as did my door lock setting preferences. the clock is integral to the radio itself, so the new radio included its own--i don't use it anyways.

my other car has similar features, but is not accessible from the radio, i need to use a techstream or similar to set those functions, which is also an option for setting adjustment in the 3rd gen tacoma as well.

otherwise, those are 'set-and-forget' functions, there's nothing about those that need constant monitoring.
