That looks identical to my 2002 Taco 4×4. I'm about to upgrade my system today. Ty for this extremely informative video. This has been the best, most detailed video that I have watched.
Do you have a link for the Tacoma plug and play wire harness you used? I’m planning on this for a 2003 Tacoma. I really appreciate the the level of detail in your video, awesome!
No link unfortunately. Should be able to get it from Walmart or an auto parts supplier. I know I had to drive around to a few places for someone who had it in stock. Thank you for the feedback!
Great video. Very detailed and well paced. I followed your instructions including buying the wiring harness for my 2003 Tacoma, but I only get sound from the rear speakers. Truck is new to me so I don't know if that was the case before I replaced the radio. Thinking about swapping them back out to see what the difference is. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hey I'm thinking of following this tutorial! One question I have is this: how awkward is it having the head unit that low? Do you have glare problems with that model? I have a 2003 manual Tacoma and I'm worried the shifter will interfere with interacting with the head unit. Any advice?
I never had any issues and I’m 5’11”. As for your truck being a manual, shouldn’t be anymore of a problem than compared to your stock radio. It’s in the same position as the factory radio.
Thank you! It's a Pumpkin 7 Android head unit, it's an older model so it's probably been replaced by a new version by now. Their website link is in the video description.
Hi! I got the same car stereo but I saw in your video that you resolved the problem of the 30 seconds boot, I have this problem every time I turn on my car... How did you do?
Good video. When using the backup camera, do i have to press a button on the unit to vied the video? Or does it automatically turns on once the vehicle in reverse. Thanks
Question for anyone who might be able to help. I installed my first head unit today in my 03 tacoma and it wouldn't turn on. I checked and double checked the wiring diagram and found out that the pins for the power antenna are non existant in ny factory harness. A friend suggested taping the blue wire into the red acc to get it to work and what do you know it did. The problem now is the radio wont turn off. Anyone know how to fix this?
Do you have an antenna booster? If not, there's no need to use the antenna wire. If your unit is not powering up, you need to connect to the switched ignition wire. Considering your head unit is not turning off now, it sounds like you're connected to the constant 12v source which is wrong, that's needed for the memory of the head unit but not as the main operation.
@@4DIYers hi thanks for the reply i got it sorted yesterday. There is no antenna booster. By taping the blue line into the red acc i accidentally made a loop that kept sending power to the unit telling it to stay on. The original problem of it not turning on was most likely a bad connection. Basically fixed it by doing the wrong thing the second time and making a good connection on the wrong wire. I removed the blue line re connected the red line and now its all good.
The problem with a large lcd double DIN is that it is impossible to see the screen clearly while sitting in the driver's seat. It's dangerous to try and do anything with it while driving. Ask me how I know.

Hi! I got the same car stereo but I saw in your video that you resolved the problem of the 30 seconds boot, I have this problem every time I turn on my car... How did you do?
Try updating the firmware. After mine had the initial start-up and was updated, everything is good.
Good video. When using the backup camera, do i have to press a button on the unit to vied the video? Or does it automatically turns on once the vehicle in reverse. Thanks
I'm having this issue now I have 2 press the camera button but I don't think it should work like that
Did you hook the brown camera wire to the power wire on the camera
You have to connect the switch of the back camera to the reverse light and it automatically turn on the camera:)
Can i get the link its not opening for me
New at this stuff. What is / where can I find, a Toyota specific harness.
Walmart, Best Buy, Canadian Tire, audio retailers, or online.
can I do this on my 1988 pickup?
As long as you have the space in the dash, that would be the biggest issue.
how big is the head unit it self
They have the exact dimensions on their website. Link is in the video description.
