Nice video, one thing to note ,if any bulbs are out on the HVAC control it would be a great time to replace. I see a lot of older Tacomas with bulbs out
My mother's fiance has a 2012 Tacoma without the JBL unit plus the rear view camera integrated into the rearview mirror. The vacuum fluorescent display doesn't work properly however the radio function works. Any ideas on what stereo brands that can be used (aftermarket stereo with built-in amplifier)?
Nice video. Do you have a video on how you got the rear view camera from the rear view mirror to the head unit? I have a Sony xavax5500 and would like to use both. Any info would help.
Hi, you mentioned that model tacoma had the backup camera in the rear view mirror. Same as mine. I noticed it was now on the radio screen. Is the one in the mirror now disabled or still in the mirror also. Thank you.
My Alpine wants the parking brake signal to make sure you are parked before messing with the radio setup. I guess I'll try to hook it up if I can get to it otherwise, I'll hook up a toggle switch to fake it out any pointers are welcome
Great video, I’m about to swap out my head unit for the same exact one. Out of curiosity, does the stock microphone work with this or do you have to use Sonys external mic that it comes with?
Any recommendations for a new head unit for a 13 trd sport? Need android auto, siriusxm and to work with s24 ultra. My jvc doesnt have aa and my jvc disconnected the blue antenna wire hitting bump, i have basically truck dash is out so i can rework dash. Thank you for your time.
I used your video to help install a Kenwood 4707 in my 2015 Tacoma. The only issue I have is that when using my steering wheel controls, I can not scroll through my XM presets. It only goes to the next channel in sequential order. Is there a fix for this?
2012 Tacoma (non jbl). Having issues with wiring. Ordered all the listed parts but didn’t see an alternative for wiring harness. Crux ending in N doesn’t fit, there is no connection for the big 28 pin connector. Local stereo shop sold me one for just the stereo and gave me a list for steering control adapter and USB, none of which appear correct. Any idea what will work for 2012 Tacoma to keep all the functionality?
I noticed you had four screws (two for the radio to bracket, and two for the bracket to radio bezel. I got the same Scosche kit as you. My kit only came with three screws. Is it supposed to come with four?
You initially said you had the Tacoma model that had the rearview camera in the mirror (which I also have), but in your testing steps you put it in reverse and the camera appeared on the radio screen. Do you lose the mirror cam?
We transferred the camera to the radio. You can keep it in the mirror without any issue as it runs independently of the radio. Customer just requested to relocate the image to the new Sony.
Were you able to retain the original Microphone for phone calls and siri/google assistant? Or did you have to install a mic supplied with the Sony? Also, was the stock tweeters ommited? Thanks!
I have an Alpine iLX-W650 head unit that I plan on installing with a Crux SWRTY-61N in my 2015 Toyota Tacoma w/o JBL. A microphone was supplied with the head unit. I haven't installed the head unit yet so I don't know if the factory mic can be retained but I will update after the installation.
@@neil_hamel I could not use the factory mic in my 2015 Tacoma. The head unit comes with a new mic and I ran the wiring underneath the dash, up along the kick panels and pillar trims and along the edge of the headliner to a spot above the rearview mirror.
@@ProvoBeastAudio no…I can sound the horn from the panic button on my keychain, so I know it’s not a fuse or relay. It could be a clockspring, but the timing of the failure was with the install. Do you know if any of the wires on the crux harness affect the horn? Or does the dipswitch position?
I’ve got a 2011 tacoma with a JBL headunit, and steering wheel controls. I’m in the process in changing the head unit out. How can I program my pac module to retain the factory steering wheel controls? Thanks!
@@aes_vl2832 yes! You hold the little button for seconds then the light should blink red. When it blinks red you select the button you want it for. First volume up, 2nd volume down, third up arrow, 4th down arrow, then Mode. That’s how I programmed mine!
Connected to the factory USB adapter plug from the original radio. If your tacoma wasn't equipped with a factory USB port, that adapter won't be needed, and instead recommend this adapter: amzn.to/3z87Yg7
I just replaced the OEM unit of my 2013 Tacoma using a different receiver, Boss, but with the same interface Crux SWRTY-61N.The controls on my steering wheels work with the receiver except for the MODE button. My next project for another day is to relocate the reverse camera from the rearview mirror to the receiver.
The radio will yes, but not using the parts shown as you have a newer generation tacoma. If you want direction on parts, send us a message on facebook!

Hi sir i have a tacoma 2008 the conection is the same or diferent

Great call! Mine is a 2014. They aren't out but thanks for the heads up, I'll probably replace the bulbs anyway while I'm in there.

So that USB is enough to power wired Android Auto? That's my worry with a head unit upgrade.
How do I reroute the mirror backup camera display to the radio display?
My 2012 Tacoma has the factory jbl system in it with the jbl amp. Do I still need to connect the speaker wires to the harness?
To retain the JBL, yes you do unless your harness adapter has RCA cables to connect into the radio's pre-outs.

@@ProvoBeastAudio how do you transfer the feed from the mirror to the radio?
how did you keep the factory aux input?? is that harness part of the usb? i didnt see you do anything with aux
The harness we used retained the factory aux. send us a message on Facebook and we can give you more info!
I have a NON JBL truck, but i have the CRUX that supports the JBL platform. Can i modify this to still work in my non JBL truck?
Well, not really as the JBL harness has different harness connections, it's pinned differently, etc.
How much for this install in a 2013 tacoma ? Any shops near Fort Lauderdale?

Sounds like you blew a fuse if your horn is no longer working.

Nope, none whatsoever.@@greghuff4139
will this fit in a 2008 tacoma? because the dash kit on amazon only says 2012-2015 tacomas
See the description for the 2005 - 2014 tacoma parts list and corresponding dash kit!
Is the Apple CarPlay wireless?
