@@JDMDriveway thanks a lot. Bought the XE version due to the sat radio. Great Radio for the value. It replace an older a/m radio, and I kept the previous mic for calls. No issue with it and no complaints from people I spoke with. So it may just be the Mic.
A bit late, but I just wanted to mention that you can get a remote for the radio for around $20/$30 it has a rotary ring for volume (and buttons for other controls) which you can affix to the steering wheel with the included strap, or stick it with double sided tape.
I enjoy your content on the 1st gen Tundra. I upgraded my 06 Tundra with a Jensen CAR710X head with steering control and mounted a USB in the tray under the ash tray. I also installed a backup camera which I love.
Thanks Steve, I actually purchased a backup camera that I will be installing and pairing to this head unit. That video should be coming soon. That's a good idea to run the usb through there, it probably hides away nicely if you're not using it too. Thanks for watching! - Sal
I just replaced my head unit a few months ago with a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX and wired backup camera because Best Buy had a sale for a $200 bundle for both. Have to say these Apple CarPlay units are well worth it! I ended up also getting a Compustar remote start which if you haven't looked into; its a great investment. It's helped me many times on these hot summer days to get my truck cool before I hop in!
Nice! I've actually got a backup camera sitting in the garage to be installed soon. I've considered a remote start, and it's definitely still not off the table, but I don't have any plans in the near future to get one installed. I'm sure it's super nice for the summer or winter to get it comfy inside though. Thanks for watching! - Sal
@@JDMDriveway If you do decide to have a remote start installed; most require professional installation. If you get it from Best Buy they install it for free 99% of the time! Would highly recommend!
I replaced my trucks radio with a CarPlay Sony. It’s such a awesome upgrade! Makes a huge difference over the junky aftermarket radio someone installed prior to me owning it! I love CarPlay and couldn’t live without it now! Luckily the previous owner who installed the radio didn’t bodge the factory hardness and had a proper adaptor in there. So I was able to cut that part to install my new radio. Now I just need a backup camera cause seeing out the back in the dark and rain with a tinted topper sucks so bad lol!
Yeah I really enjoy having CarPlay. I originally had wired CarPlay but upgraded to wireless and it's so nice to have. The backup camera is nice to have, and I can imagine it would be even more useful with a camper shell!
I have the Atoto SA102 in my truck, and it's got similar features and I like it as well! Same experience with call quality, here, but for the price, to have Android auto/apple carplay in an old pickup is great!

Wanted to let you know that I did the LED lights upgrade on my gen 1 Tundra. I love the results. Does the radio install require any side spacers to fill in the opening in the dash?

Oh nice! Yeah I really liked mine, I recently upgraded to the wireless version and it's pretty awesome. I never really minded having to plug in but having it happen wirelessly is a lot better. I also had to use a genuine Apple cable to have it work properly - Sal
First off. Love all the 2002 Tundra videos. I have a 2002 also (only v6 2x2) and every video is something I have faced or wanted to look into. Question: I don't find a video of you installing the ATOTO F7. Curious if you had to bypass the factory amp or does our have an amp? The radio I have installed now has weird volume issues (too loud above volume 2 or 3) so I think there must be a factor amp and I wired the radio wrong. Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to install an ATOTO in the spring.
Hey Michael, I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful! Unfortunately I didn't do an install video on the head unit because I threw it in before I started this channel. I used the video below when I installed it. I did bypass the amp and I ordered the crutchfield wiring adapter which made the process incredibly easy. I'm pretty happy with my head unit, hope you have a good experience with it too! Thanks for watching - Sal ruclips.net/video/YSYWAD5ufX4/видео.html
Hey Sal, I was inspired by your video and bought a ATOTO F7 Extreme head unit, the one with wireless AppleCarplay. On 4:17, can you help with the bootup logo, I would like to do the same for myns and have Toyota pop up for the boot logo also. I looked everywhere in the menu settings and cant seem to find a way to change it. Thanks !
Hey Guzmaro, sorry to hear that. I don't have any experience with that code, but I looked it up and found this forum that might help get you headed in the right direction. It sounds like the electronics in the throttle body could have failed, but it may be as simple as replacing the throttle position sensor (TPS). Worst case, you may need to find a used throttle body and replace the whole assembly. Is it affecting how the truck drives at all? www.tundrasolutions.com/threads/p1126-code-on-2000-v-8.61557/
@@JDMDriveway no i drove it for like three day with the light on nothing feels off but I seen with maybe even just a cleaning if not might go for a used one thanks
I see some posts talking about having to have the parking brake wire connected for the new head units to power up. And it’s mentioned in the details sometimes on crutchfield. Any issues revolving around this? My parking brake does not physically work because of a bad connection at the rear axle which is why I ask.
I don't remember having to hook that up for my truck and haven't had any issues. I think that is for newer cars which want to lock you out of certain menus when you're not parked. Thanks for watching!
Hey Sal does this head unit come with the plates that bolt to the side of the unit for your stock mounting brackets to bolt up to? I bought a cheapie that is about the same depth as this head unit and tried to use my stock brackets and had to kind of force it in there. So I'm wondering if I will need to purchase an additional mounting bracket for the dash or if it comes with it
Hey man, the head unit does come with the side plates and it matched decently well with the factory brackets, I think I was able to use 3 out of 4 screws on either side, but it all feels solid and you wouldn't know once everything is reinstalled. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway thanks man. Got it installed this week and I love it. Sound is great and works well with my Pixel Pro. Thanks for the vids man lots of good information in every one of em.
ruclips.net/video/YSYWAD5ufX4/видео.htmlsi=nq4CxVgQIG9qn_4c This is the video I used, not sure what a crux is but the only other thing I needed to buy was an adapter harness so I didn't need to cut into the factory wiring. Thanks for watching
Yeah it's got a micro SD slot, but I haven't tried it out to see what it's used for. The Amazon listing just says "to store media files" but I don't know if that means music or movies or something completely different like storing dash cam videos? Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, thanks for watching though
Did you have any issues getting the sound to work with the ATOTO radio? I followed the install video; bought the harness that stalls to the ATOTO and plugs into the factory harness, matched the colors up. The ATOTO functions fine, however there is no sound. Plugging the factory radio back in I have sound so I didn’t mess up the factory harness. I saw other people mention needing to connect the adapter harnesses blue/amplifier to the red ACCESSORY wiring to solve but did not work for my truck.
Yep, I just plugged the factory harnesses into the adapter in the description and it all worked well. It did bypass the factory amp, but I haven't noticed any loss of sound quality. - Sal
It's in one of the settings menus. I think it's display settings and then you have to scroll down to see it. It's not super apparent that you can scroll in those menus. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
If I remember correctly, it is in the display settings page of the head unit and they have a bunch of car manufacturers to pick from. Hope you can find it, thanks for watching! - Sal

Hey, I just installed the same unit and kind of had to fight the brackets to make it fit. I only got two of the screws in on each side and seems like it doesn’t fill the gaps all the way around the screen when the cluster is put back on. How did you get yours to fit so well and would you have any pictures of the mounting brackets and how they look on yours?
I definitely had to play around with the brackets as well. If you send me an email at jdmdriveway101@gmail.com, I have some timelapse footage of me putting this in and it shows how I've got it bolted up. Otherwise though I feel like I just got kinda lucky with it fitting so nicely in the space. Thanks for watching
The wiring should be exactly the same between the head units and I had installed mine before I started making videos for RUclips. Tyler's video is quite informative. Thanks for watching!
I think it should fit, it just may cover up the vents a little bit. The back side of it is still a "standard double din size" but then the screen is a lot bigger and sticks out in front. I've seen people on the Facebook groups with those bigger screens installed. Thanks for watching!
I wouldn't say I lost any audio quality, but I also wouldn't say that I gained any either. I'm planning to upgrade my speakers and add a small sub soon to hopefully make it a little richer in the cab. Thanks for watching - Sal
