Did we all have a tired CD player? I gotta give mine credit, 16 years and 174K miles of nothing but Cds. I'm surprised it lasted this long. Thanks for the 'how to' vid.
Wow easy to understand and straight to the point. I have a 2007 and I thought it would be real simple and just pull off the face-plate. Boy I would have messed up my dash big time. Now I see how it's done correctly I can bet back in there and do my Bluetooth Retrofit
Wow! I just followed along with this video on my '07 Taco!! I had NO idea it was that easy!! Seriously, how could anyone let alone 42 folks thumb this video down? Easy to follow, straight to the point and concise.
Thank you for the information! You make it look easy. And I agree, the factory "head unit" is prone to failure.... mine failed shortly after I bought my truck, it would just "power off" for no reason.
I know this is an old video, but Thank You so much for uploading it. My stock radio is acting up, and sometimes won't come on. I think it's a lose connection. I was kind of scared messing with it, and thought it was going to be hard getting it out. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. In the immortal words of GI Joe. Thanks again.
Very helpful video! Thank you so much. I just bought a 2007 Tacoma and the previous owner installed some aftermarket stereo which sucks. He has wiring everywhere too. Trying to go back to stock.
Thank you. Ive been thinking I would have to disassemble the entire dash. This is simple! And you saved my truck's dash from overzelouse repairs for a stuck cd changer
Okay, this is going to sound stupid but is the steering wheel wire harness installed at factory regardless of the tacoma having the controls on the steering wheel or not? I know, as an example, that Land Rover installs heat seat wiring even though not all of them have geared seats.
I wanted to put a stock radio in to replace the original stock radio. My tuning knob activates just by touching it, and you can't use it to change stations. So, does the new radio come with that huge faceplate?
Do you think its the same for a 2011 tacoma? Thanks super help full. Of course the cd player isn't working and the volume control has a mind of its own. Any idea how much power the radio puts out in watts?? Thanks
You mentioned at the end that you see lots of cd player failures. I'm assuming the motor goes. Any chance of replacing components or do you typically just repacing the whole unit?
What's usually the problem with the CD player? I can hear the disc's shuffling but no response when I push the CD button? Is there no fixing this? Or is it time for a new unit? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
I have a 2010 Tacoma, the only issue I have is the volume knob doe not work properly , I never used the CD player, when my phone is connected it works ok for a while then out of the blue will stop. The JBL sound system was an idea now only a memory, time for an upgrade!
I have a 2010 , the unit works fine but the button lights will flicker at time then come on and stay on , all other functions work fine . The backlight to the display will stay lit , but all other buttons will be flickering , is there a fix , like a loose wire or fuse ?
