4+64GB 8-Core Car Radio Stereo for Toyota Tundra 2007-2013 & Toyota Sequoia 2008-2019 Dash Upgrade, Android 13 GPS Navigation Multimedia Player with Car-Play&Android Auto FM AM DSP(for JBL/NO JBL)

I wanted to get CarPlay for my 2012 Tundra. There are a confusing number of these kinds of units out there but I eventually decided on this one and couldn't be happier with my choice.Functionally, almost everything built in the Tundra plugs in and works perfectly:- Steering wheel controls (you can even remap these from the OEM defaults; I use the mode as play/pause)- Speakers all work and sound better than OEM radio- Radio antenna (I get all the stations I would expect, with good clarity)- Headlight signal (screen darkens at night -- this can be adjusted in settings)The factory USB and Aux jacks don't wire in directly but see another review here on the right USB connector that plugs right into the cables in this kit.The installation was pretty easy. You can find various videos on YouTube for taking these Tundra dashes apart. I had to take the cupholders out to get the HVAC controls out to get to the screws to remove the OEM radio. This kit comes with two wiring kits: JBL and non-JBL versions. I used the non-JBL ones. I plugged in the matching connectors and that took care of the factory functions.The unit comes with three USB connectors. I used one to replace the factory Aux/USB jack. I used one to put a rotary volume knob in the dash. (I gutted a $10 PC USB volume knob, mounted it through a hole in my dash and finished it off with a nice aluminum knob. I love having a volume knob.) This still leaves one USB jack with may supported other things like video in or out -- I haven't tried it yet but some built-in apps talk about USB video out.I had some trouble programming the steering wheel controls at first. This is where the seller's great support came in (thanks Miss Levy!). They quickly replied to my message and gave me detailed clear recommendations. When the first idea didn't work, their technicians figured out a solution that cleared up the problem immediately. If only half of your steering wheel controls program, contact the seller and they'll quickly help you with this. (There was an easily-fixed problem with my wiring harness.) The steering wheel controls work perfectly now. I even programmed the voice button to kick on Siri in CarPlay (use the BT Mic function when you program it.)I customized the brightness on the display and was even able to adjust the color of the left-of-screen buttons to match the night amber color in the Tundra. That's a nice finishing touch.I use wireless Apple CarPlay on this unit. I have it set up to connect automatically. This works well and the picture quality is better than the OEM CarPlay units in my other cars. It connects well and I like having the phone on a wireless MagSafe/Qi2 charger on my dash. On short trips I keep my iPhone in my pocket and on longer ones I throw it on the charger magnet.The built-in apps and Google Play store added more useful features than I expected. Torque with an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle are super cool with this unit. You can get real-time performance data and telemetry from your car. You can turn on the Wi-Fi in the unit (you can put a cell SIM in it but I didn't) and download some videos from YouTube or Netflix to the unit for when you're stuck (parked) in the car for a while and want to watch on this bigger screen. I downloaded Google offline maps for my area to use in a pinch if I don't have a phone handy.I didn't have a factory backup camera but that's the next project. I'll get a 720p version that replaces the bed gate handle body and wire that into the back of this unit. Since I'll be opening up the side and door well panels in the car, I'll also install the popular remote start kit for the Tundra at the same time. I'll update if there are any learnings and surprises from that project related to this radio.Overall I'm thrilled with the result and my 11-year-old truck feels new again. These Toyotas run forever if you take care of them and I hope to get another 150k miles out of this one.

I have a 2012 Tundra Rock Warrior, I added this head unit to bring it to 2025 standards. Head unit installs relatively easy when assisted by watching some YouTube videos of the dash disassembly. Not every connector has a corresponding plug. THAT IS OK. Took me a while to figure that out. Additionally look at all the diagrams for installation. Missed the step about cutting two wires to make the steering wheel controls work and had to go back and uninstall everything to do so.Sound quality of new head unit is great, much crisper than open. No connectivity issues when pairing my iPhone. Wireless CarPlay and wired CarPlay both work great.Customer service was extremely helpful with a question I had about changing the boot logo.Would recommend this head unit !

ease of installation and well documented operational procedures

Very easy to install and looks amazing.Try not to freak out when looking at the mess of wires once you open everything up.The instructions might not do the best job at simply saying that there are two harnesses, one for those with a JBl sound system and one for those without one. I do not have the JBL sound system so i disregarded the other harness.Also not everything needs to be plugged in, such as all of the multimedia/Audio Video (the red yellow and white ones from back in the day). A few of those cables are for backup camera functionality, while others are for Tundra’s and Sequoias equipped with screens in the back seats. I can’t stress this enough, every plug does not have a place.You can reuse the little yellow clips from the old radio, at first I thought the fitment was too loose but after assembling everything it fit in very sturdy, however getting other clips could be a good idea.The screen itself it pretty quick to respond to touch and connects to my iPhone via Apple car play very fast. The other factory apps are also useful and work well. If you’re someone who’s into using their hotspot, the connectivity to the unit also works very well and responds well with the GPS and other apps.For those complaining that you can’t use your hotspot and CarPlay/Android auto at the same time….Duh. The idea is that the unit has internet functionality, can stream from apps, stream music, use maps/gps with the hotspot from your phone. NOT make your entire car have wifi. You can try, good luck.I can’t rave enough about how this will make your stereo sound 10000 better, and there’s so much customizability, just see for yourself.This was definitely a great value as other units of similar caliber can cost upwards of $500 for similar results and took no modification to install. I’ll personally be buying some USB adapters that slot into the empty switch slots for a more uniform look.

Did work well with my 08 Tundra Crewmax with JBL system. Very strange! Direction are not straight forward, even with support from China, half the speakers worked. Had to replace the stock rear view camera. It socks because it was a good price point, but disappointed with connectivity and adaptability.
