Awesome! You should do a video with all the mods you have done to your Tacoma!
Hello everyone, I purchased one of these units and in my opinion- it is not worth the money. Here is why: the unit can’t keep the right time of day after the daylight savings time change. It requires a frequent correction every four or five days. The other reason I do not believe it is worth the money is because the units heating and cooling were working in reverse, so I would have to turn the temp settings down for the heat to work and turn up the temp for the cooling to work. In fairness they did provide a software patch for me to download and correct. My point is for the money you should not have to install a patch fix. O and one last thing that drives me nuts about this unit is the fact that every week there is a command setting the pops up out of nowhere and requires you to close down all the apps and then you have to relaunch the gps radio etc. overall not worth the money!!!
Thanks for the real world info! 👍
I purchased the same head unit for my. 2011 Tacoma. Everything was plug and play no issues with installation but the only issue I have is a static noise when I turn on the headlights. It's not super loud but annoying it goes away if I shut the headlights off. Do you have the same issue? Everything on my truck is stock besides the head unit now.
Don't know if you can help me been searching all around for the wire harnesses that connect to the head unit to add a backup camera. installing an aftermarket backup camera and noticed the RCA cable can't plug in. I've had the unit for a year works great pretty sure what I didn't use was tossed out. Thank you anything helps at this point.
Dang that’s nice. At that price point it’s pretty tempting. Did all the wiring harness come with, besides the adapter for the gps?
Yes all the wiring harnesses. The only thing was the gps adapter, which you really don’t need.
@@jonm8975 can you tell me the part number for the gps pigtail you got to go to the sharkfin on the roof
I wasn't able to get the factory USB port to work although I connected one end of the USB adapter to one of the two usb cables that come from the head unit and the other end to the USB/Aux factory plug.
Can you do anytime front/rear camera? Or do you need a separate device ?
Thanks for the great video, Did you Disconnect the Battery before working on the Stereo? I mean is necessary for safety?
Not necessary for a head unit install. Just keep the key ignition off and turn it on to test the unit after installed.
Hi good morning I have a cuestion I purchased this radio unit for my 2015 tacoma so my cuestion is about the 2 antenna connection that my truck has so I only plug one in and I left the other one unplug is there anyway to plug the 2 antenna connector on this type of unit thanks
Great install video! Just curious I noticed as you scrolled through the settings it showed all 4 wheels and said No TPMS Device. Did it eventually register the tpms sensors or is that function not compatible with Tacoma? I wanna get one for sure
This does not support the original toyota TPMS. you will need to get aftermarket sensors.
I just ordered one for my tacoma. Question. I do not have a stock back up camera but I plan on installing one. Does it work woth any aftermarket or do I have to order one from aucar
I got mine professionally installed. It had super low volume, I had them reinstall my factory JBL. Any ideas what I can do to fix that?
Bought this unit and plugged it all in and powered up and but get no audio to speakers in truck??
Oh, & also, can you customize your Home screen? That would be soooooo cool!
would this still work with a power commander plugged into the OBD port? I have a 2014 with the back up camera in the head unit
It should work fine. You might need a splitter to use both at the same time. If you don’t use the radio obd you are only losing the rpm and speed on the console.
I have a 9" screen installed now. I like having the screen, not a fan of the actual unit. One issue is the brightness control, or lack of. Can you control the brightness on this, and how much? How is driving with it at night?
You can adjust the brightness with Apple CarPlay in dark mode and the screen dimmed it is really good at night.
how do you go about locking it into place?
I have this exact year Tacoma. What was the total cost (ballpark figure)?
my truck has JBL premium sound with entune from factory. Am i missing something?
That is nice af ... So the radio comes with the wiring harness for the Tacoma?
Yes, you can see my other video that showed the wiring harness.
Does this use the built-in OEM microphone for Bluetooth phone calls? I have purchased a similar radio, different company, and it used a mic built into the radio head unit and it was terrible for phone calls.
It does not use the oem mic, it has a built in mic on the head unit. Aucar does have a harness for an external mic also.
Okay so I installed this and I have a couple problems, 1 - when I start it my screen looks like it’s broken and then goes to normal after a minute. 2 - mine is not showing a Tacoma where the rpm’s and speed are it’s just a blank black screen on half the unit. 3 - sometimes when I put it into drive the gear stays in reverse on the screen and speedometer but I’m in drive and it’s turning on my engine and trac off light. Do you think I have a defective unit or do you think I plugged something in wrong? I know it’s probably kinda hard for you to say since you can’t see it, but any advice is helpful! I don’t know who else to ask.
I am not sure when you recieved yours but they just released a new firmware that is suposed to correct the colored artifacts when starting. It also has some other bug fixes. I would try this first to see if it corrects your issues.
It can be found here www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tesla-style-head-unit.737247/page-22 on post #439.
Its kind of a long read now, but there are also some good settings that people are using in the thread. Aucars contact info is on the first page.
The aucar web can not make any order, Jon how can we buy the model for 4 runner with the runner50. I saw the cached price for 4 runner tesla style was 595, it is really nice.
The xrunner50 code is only for the Tacoma radio. You can also buy it on AliExpress but without the discount.
Is the satellite radio antennae the same as gps antennae? Not sure my 2010 has a "shark fin" so just asking
They are 2 different antennas. The connectors look the same. If your original radio has navigation you should have a gps antenna. You could try hooking it up to the satellite antenna if that’s all you have, I’m not sure if it will work though. I have never seen a Tacoma with a shark fin and no gps so you should have one.
Anyway to get the gas mileage info and tire pressure to work on 2015 Tacoma?
What about steering wheel controls . Do they work too in all functions ?
Yes, all the steering wheel controls work.
Does the steering wheel controls work well with the unit? Also, are u supercharged? I see extra gauges on your dash. 😎
Yea the steering wheel controls all work. Also, got a magnuson supercharger installed.
Hell yea! The boost is addicting.
If you have remote start and like to leave the defrost on will this unit allow the defrost to run without ignition on when using remote start?
It should as long as you leave it on defrost when you turn off the car. Mine will remember what settings it was on when I start the truck.
The remote start turns on the ignition so it should be the same as starting it with the key.
Do you know how to hook up the rearview camera? A video for that would be SUPER helpful!
Did you ever get reverse camera working properly I’m having same issue with aftermarket camera
Thank you. What did you use for your front camera and where and how did you install it? Thanks
I used www.amazon.com/dp/B07H852D49/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?pd_rd_i=B07H852D49&pd_rd_w=LdiwZ&pf_rd_p=0c758152-61cd-452f-97a6-17f070f654b8&pd_rd_wg=w4c5a&pf_rd_r=501E6M26J9FYBAR7JBCZ&pd_rd_r=80f91310-866a-4fbd-8fde-b8e963fc031e&s=electronics&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWjRVMTNGNFIzWVRPJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjMyNjIyM0dSTFZQVE5BWkI4WSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjc5Njk5MkkzOVdWMjVQUzIySiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1
I mounted it center right above the lower grill.
My 2010 has a backup camera that feeds to the rear view mirror how would I be able to connect that to the head unit?
Some lead in there is whistling, are you sure you don't need a bigger fuse for that thing?
This is a very informative video. The only things that I would like 2 know is, can the NETFLIX show in widescrren, & since my NETFLIX is thru TMOBILE, can I have a way of connecting it thru them?
Using hand gesture to zoom in and zoom out of the screen did the trick for me in Netflix. Give it a try.
Does the unit support CarPlay? The ad on AUs site says it does, but the app doesn’t seem to exist on screen.
Yes, it does support CarPlay. It uses zlink app to connect.
Where did you purchase the adapter for the factory shark fin GPS mount?
www.discountcarstereo.com/sumi-fakra.html
Thanks, I have the JBL version. Is the instal pretty much the same?
Hi Jon , i purchase the unit and installed on a 2012 Tacoma, but now the heater or a/c don't heat or cool, fans working fine any advice?
Is it backwards or it’s not working at all? Is the ac on there is a button to turn the compressor on and off. A/C
hello excuse me where can I get that screen that sea is how I buy it
quick question - options for the AuCar units for JBL or non-JBL.. why would that matter, if you are provided RCA outputs for aftermarket amplifiers?
i have the JBL system in my '15, so curious which to purchase, since this new head unit will allow me to install a complete/new sound system, which is my plan.
If you want to keep the jbl system in place and just change the head unit then buy the jbl one. The wiring is different between the 2. You will lose the fader if you keep the jbl system. If you are replacing everything the buy the regular unit. Some people have a jbl system and just want the plug and play head unit.
@@jonm8975 makes sense. i'll opt for the NON jbl unit. another question: is there a in-unit option to quickly change the gain of the sub (amp)? i didnt see a gain up/down option for it. i saw the "gains" and "mute" for the other 4 channels
i guess a direct to amp "bass knob" would suffice but that's another cable i dont wanna run
Hello thanks for the video.
My Tacoma has the backup camera in the rear view mirror. Any idea if it works with that?
You will need to buy an extra adapter to move the reverse camera from the mirror to the radio. camerasource.com/accessories/2013-tacoma-mirror-to-radio-camera-conversion.html
@@jonm8975 Great video thanks! all the adapters is see are listed are for 2010-2015, I have a 2009 , do you have a source where I might find one?
on my 2013 tacoma will i need another adapter for the back up camera since the current viewer is on the rear view mirror or is there any splicing needed to install? If so is there a specific video that covers it?
I don’t have a video but this harness is used to display the camera on the mirror on the new screen. camerasource.com/accessories/2013-tacoma-mirror-to-radio-camera-conversion.html
@@jonm8975 in the q&a section it says it will not work on aftermarket head unit and it will disable the temperature and other function on the mirror i like having the auto dimming
@@lawrenceratliff9962 I know this will work with the Tesla screen. I am not sure it you will lose the auto dimming and temp. There is a guy with it on the Tacoma forum. You can ask him if he lost any other features. www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tesla-style-head-unit.737247/
Did you get instructions on how to reverse the AC controls my hot is cold and my cold is hot. Thanks!
You can find everything at www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tesla-style-head-unit.737247/
Can you post a video of the climate controls working?
ruclips.net/video/brZdZLz_nj8/видео.html
I own an '07 Tacoma and my take apart dash is quite different. Do you have any videos on that one?
The factory radio looks a little different but the install is the same. Remove the AC controls and then remove the 4 bolts that hold the radio in. Unplug everything and install the new radio.
Hello! Does your original bluetooth and steering wheel controls work as originally designed?
Yes the original steering wheel buttons work. The new radio has its own Bluetooth that replaces the original.
Does the kit come with all the wiring minus the shark fin wiring?
yes, it comes with all the wiring.
Hi Jon ! Finally got mine installed , but i can not install Netflix app , says that app is not compatible with the unit . do you know why?
You need to install an older version. You can follow these instructions.

I noticed a delay when switching cameras does the camera lag too? How's the unit so far?
It's not bad, about the same as the factory. I had a Gemes Lab RFCC TTG1 controller that used the steering wheel controls before and that thing was super-fast switching between the front and rear. It was convenient not having to touch the screen also. It was made for the stock radio but with a little wiring, I should be able to hook it up to this one.

@@jonm8975 awesome thanks for the feedback man really appreciate it. I have a 2005 taco so I'm really looking into upgrade and have a reverse cam to save my rear bumper lol
is the unit shipped from outside of United States if so what is average delivery time?
The delivery is from china. Usually takes 5-10 days DHL
I see this is listed as having 4x45W channels do you think this unit can power 4 low tier Rockford Fosgate speakers (R169x3) in the Tacoma?
I know alot of people are runing this without an amp, so it should work ok. For the best sound I would run a small power pack amp. In reality you probably only get 20w-30w of power per channel.
@@jonm8975 what do you mean by Powerpack amp??
@@waheedjag7738 its a small amp like this www.crutchfield.com/S-Yjqu5Z9pst2/p_500KTP445U/Alpine-KTP-445U-Power-Pack.html?XVINQ=DST&XVVER=89M&awcr=386459581652&awdv=c&awkw=&awmt=&awnw=g&awug=9032743&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmuiTBhDoARIsAPiv6L8vKWY0jQx9pfEiNL7GjQybFPB3Jqk1lVx0mLidcFijS6BS76HPgtYaAg9MEALw_wcB
you selling the old unit?
Will this unit work if I run the Bullydog gt tuner on my 13 Tacoma? Thanks for the video
This should not interfere with the bully dog tune. You may need a obdii splitter if you need the obdii port. But tuning wise you’ll be fine. I run a hptunners custom map with no issues.
How did you change your ‘Music’ icon to point to ZLink?
In settings you can set the custom icon application. I just choose zlink
does the sound of the speakers/tweeters improve?
I think it does. It has a DSP so you can tune the sound to your liking.
In which application do I buy the screen?

Is it compatible with Apple devices?
will this unit work on my 2014 toyota tacoma prerunner???
Yes it does fit.
What kind of steering wheel do you have? Looks great!
It’s a custom steering wheel from a Corolla. There is a thread on Tacomaworld.com that goes over everything.
Very slick. Does the climate control on the new unit work well? I've never seen a head unit that controls the ac like this, it's impressive
Thank you for posting this walkthrough video. You mentioned that you purchased an adaptor for the shark fin radio. You could post a link to refer me to so I can purchase? I just placed an order for my 2013 Tacoma. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again for the link. I just placed an order and kudos to you for taking the time to answer everybody’s questions.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get it to connect to android auto and the customer service is a joke. I e deleted and reinstalled zlink, did the software update as well as did the format. I bought the head unit for 2 reasons 1 for the screen size and 2 for the Android auto. Plz help if you can im getting desperate
do you have a link to get more yellow clips ? mine broke & i can not find them
You can find them on amazon just search toyota radio clips.
Are you in socal?
I'd like to know after a year install, how is it so far? Is it still operational? Any issues? Thinking of replacing my 9in for this.
I am using the gen 2 model and it works great. I drove the truck this morning after sitting a week and it works the same as day 1.
Can u send me the link for the shark fin
Silly question…. Can you change the color of the Tacoma that is displayed on the Home Screen?
You can. The Tacoma xrunner image you see in the video is actually a picture I made myself. You can change that and the startup/boot image to anything you want.
@@jonm8975 thanks I really appreciate the response. What’s your opinion on the unit after having it for a little bit?
I love it. It’s the best android unit I have used so far. Once you use the big screen everything else seems mediocre.
Where can I get a manual?😊
Pardon me did u make the dash mat?
No, its from dash designs. www.dashdesigns.com/i-31417459-2015-toyota-tacoma-dash-cover.html?ref=category:1337840

Hi Jon !! Where should I install the GPS antena that comes with unit?
I usually just stick it on the dash support bar behind the radio. It still works good, try to make sure it’s not under anything metal.
This way you don’t have to see it or run any wires.
Thanks jon! Really appreciate it

sorry for the questions, but do you know size HDD this device can read from? and can it handle the PLEX app? would love to be able to utilize my plex server on this
Not sure on the max but I have a 128gb and it reads fine.
Plex should work good if you have a good internet connection.
@@jonm8975 Thanks man. They did confirm Plex but gave a strange answer about HDD/Thumb drive size, so I reached back out and they are having an engineer reach out to me.
They said a 500gb HDD would work, but only a 32gb thumb drive. I find that hard to believe since they present themselves the same. My guess is it's a different between NTFS and FAT32 but it's clear as mud right now :) Hopefully I have an answer today.
Verified that the unit can handle 500gb FAT32. I ordered mine today, I hope your still loving it. we'll see how it goes.....

I can't get the radio to connect to my Bluetooth? Phone n contacts....cant figure it out. Help
Are you using bluetooth? it should be fairly straight forward if not using CarPlay. If carplay use zlink. If not just connect like any other device. On you phone you will need to allow it to sync contacts.

It will only show the logo when it does a full boot. Normally when you turn off the truck the radio will just sleep and not power off all the way. This is so it can start up faster when you get back in the car. If you do not start the truck for a long period the radio completely shuts off. This is when you will see the logo as it has to full boot from off.
How did you determine if you have the JBL amplifier or not? I have a 2012 tacoma
It will say on the old radio if it is jbl.

If the OBD port doesnt work in the Tacoma can you just not install it?
If you had the backup camera on the radio then OBD port is only used to show your rpm and speed info on the console. If you dont need those then yes.
If you had your camera on the review mirror then the OBD port is also used to let the radio know when you go into reverse. You will also need to wire your mirror camera to the radio.(this is a seperate harness)
So if you have a mirror camera and wire it to the radio and dont hook it up you will lose the automatic showing of your reverse camera.
You can always run a reverse wire if your OBD does not work for reverse. There is a seperate input for reverse camera(switching and video input) if you did not have either.
Either way you can hook it up but you will lose some features depending on the original funcitons of the truck.
Hope that makes sense.
@@jonm8975 I've heard the original backup camera resolution is really bad can you upgrade the camera and have it still work with this unit (assuming you did install the ODB 2)?
@@Icesack Its not terible but its not really good. The radio does support an aftermarket camera. It has an RCA input and reverse input on the main harness. It also has an input for front and side camera. You will not need the obd for switching if you use an aftermarket camera. You will still need it for RPM and Speed.

Do they make these for 3rd gen? This is amazing
This is only for the second gen. I seen Phoenix automotive is coming out with one for the third gen. It’s on there site and looks good. I am just not sure about the company. They don’t have the best reviews.
For what this is, I was really surprised that the price isn't higher.
@Ben Gonzales I was thinking the same. Seems cheap as hell for something that would look so bad ass.
I saw another video of this, the buttons on the sides of it sound cheap and plasticy. Still on the fence about this product.
btw this is a smaller/cheaper one but it's only for 2005-2013 Tacoma's: ruclips.net/video/soOtLI1rUsg/видео.html - it doesn't replace the A/C controls or the hazard button/clock above that. Still on the fence about getting one of these products though.
