The C12 does not have a direct Sirius XM radio input, but since it's Android based (with CarPlay) you can just download the Sirius XM app and run that through the C12. I do the same for the radio feature - the C12 has a built in tuner, but I just downloaded the iHeart radio app and listed through CarPlay - plus it sounds 10x better

@@tacomanetwork damn it...ty..cause I have a lifetime subscription...I need it to be able to support virus

On the android side it will stream pretty much anything you can add app wise and login.

Just follow the video - the only difference might be the main harness you will need (my guess is 2016-2019 uses the large harness and 2020-2023 uses the small harness) there is an easy fix for the steering wheel control - on the android side, settings, factory, 3368 confirm, original car agreement, reversing track reversal (switch to off) and yes, remote start still works on the app, I haven’t tried it on the fob

@ Thank you for the help and the very detailed video its gonna help out tomorrow when I go to install.

Yes, this is compatible with the front facing camera and the 360 camera - I only showed the rear as that's the only camera my truck has.

They're decently bright, no worse than stock

@ ig I havent experienced stock when I bought mine the last owner put led bulbs in but I can barley see backing up with these

I'm over that now. Steering wheel controls, other wise take two fingers and either drag them up or down on the screen and it opens a slider bar for the volume.

Well, everyone has opinions - mine is based on the installation, and over 1 month of usage, it's solid and is easily the highlight of getting in my truck each day. There's nothing "cheap" about it imo - these are the types of product we need from creators like CTH. products that challenge the ho-hum product from mainstream "innovators". Perfect example is DJI - cheap Chinese company, right? They've taken out GoPro in less than 5 versions of their camera vs. GP's 13 versions. They've also take out Rode in 2 versions of their wireless mics. I'm all for new companies coming on and making things better and this is where CTH has shined.

@ you know what you are right! I do love dji products but I see them as a luxury product. I suppose I need to change my perspective on new companies from china. Used to the stereotypical products that come from mainland China.

@@bentboi6969 I'm a big Made in USA guy - but with in reason. If a company has a product that is just better, I'll buy it. My first truck was a 1987 Toyota pickup and then I spent the better part of 25 years in Fords with my last being a 2011 F150 FX4 with the 5.0. I'll probably never buy another Ford because of their now terrible product quality and unreliable EcoBoost motors. As for DJI, I owned a couple of their Drones - the Spark and the Mavic Air3S. Now, I have their Action 4 and 5, Mic 2, Neo, Goggles N3 and their 1,000watt power station. Every single one of them have been top notch and reliable.

It really is a great unit and thanks for the nice comments. I do have factory remote start in my 2022 TRD OR, but I rarely use it. I tested it this morning and everything works the same as with the stock radio.

@@tacomanetworkappreciate the response and investigation into that for me! I’m definitely getting this now it looks way too good to pass up!! I think I’m gonna go with the top option one too cause it comes with a more powerful chip and ram for like 80$ more

For Sirius XM, there's not a direct wire for this, like the stock radio....but you can easily add the app and run it that way. I do the same for iHeart Radio even though there is a radio tuner built in. As for the Wifi - you should be able to connect any available wifi direct through the system. Since I don't have this, I cannot test it....but it should be easily done

@@jesusnavarrete6317 it’s the highlight of getting in my truck now. I got the base model and for CarPlay, it’s plenty fast

It's decent...but you have to obtain that on the android side. I've installed iHeart Radio as a CarPlay app and it sounds remarkable...even better than the stock

Nice! Thanks for watching!

It’s honestly the highlight of getting on my truck each day

Are you talking the round stick vents? I know why they went with a taller more rectangular vent - it was to obtain the most airflow possible. If you redirect from round to round, you’ll basically have a sliver “moon” shape and reduce the amount of air. Hope this explains it

Maybe you should watch my latest video? 🫨

On the far left of the unit below the driver side vent, there’s a couple of holes where there’s an on board mic. It’s not the best, which is why I picked up a $7 Amazon mic. I know that there are people doing a slight mod to continue using the stock mic. Not sure what it entails, but it is possible.

My oem mic works fine with this unit

It is...but I believe if you're using CarPlay, it's based off of your phone

@ I don't use CarPlay that often so I would prefer a standalone GPS. Thanks for the answer

​@@k9cop68 the gps on the android side of the unit requires internet/hotspot from your phone or a sim card. google maps is the default map service for the device

Thanks for stopping by! I haven't tested it, but I believe you can - the stock USB plug (where you normally plug in) is still active. Worst case, there's 2 new USB's that are routed from the new head unit that could power it. Honestly, this is the fastest wireless connection I've seen - it connects during the time I put my seatbelt on and in the month I've had it now, it's never not connected.

I’ve had it on for almost 2 years now with the original 3M tape that was provided. I cleaned my surface first with isopropyl alcohol and followed the directions, which say to stick it and hold for a couple of minutes with firm pressure. It also states to not use the mount for 24 hours. I’m in SoCal and have seen temps from high 20’s (while camping for a couple weeks) to over 100 outside. Some people aren’t the brightest (reviewers) 😂

@@TheRealJimmy831 the vents do move side to side, just not up and down. They’re pretty tall now and I don’t see a need for the up/down movement. As for the OEM mic, it no longer functions. There is a built in mic on the side of the unit….yo7 can see a little cut out on the left side. I plan to install an externally routed mic, which this is capable of, picked one up on Amazon for $7. Not sure on the anytime camera, as I don’t have one…..but if it installs plug and play on the stock system, it should on this too

@@joseantonioacosta8022 if you plugged everything in correctly, you should have steering wheel controls. I’d contact CTH on their website….it usually takes 1-2 days for a response, but if you’re up late in the US, they’ll respond right away. There also might be a menu item for that in the factory setting menu

Thanks my friend for your response, I will do all the connections again since the start, if you receive any response please keep me updated, And yes, Ian in Florida, thanks again for your invaluable help to us the new ones in this beautiful world of Tacomas

You want to go into settings and protocol and check that you have one that works. There is not a Toyota Tacoma one. The one that came default mostly works, it’s a Toyota Camry setting. I have not found one that’s perfect yet (no blinkers work for me and tpms either on a 2017 )

@@Infinity942 I believe you can get rid of the animation, with a different app launcher (nova) - I’ve seen it done, but haven’t used it myself, as I’m not on the android side much. It does have a dedicated sim card slot as well

Yes, it will work on any 3rd gen Tacoma - both JBL and non JBL. Please note that your installation with JBL might be slightly different than mine

I believe it’s possible, as long as they’re tapped into the factory harness, but I only have the rear camera and it works 100%. I’ve also confirmed it works with front facing and 360 camera

@@tacomanetworkcould you tell me who you confirmed this with? I messaged CTH on WhatsApp and they said the 360 camera system is not supported yet.

@ I don’t have the 360 cam, but according to the beta testers in the private group I’m in, they’re stating it works.

Yes, I plan to do an update video here soon. Probably will go over buttoning up my install (wiring inside the dash) fixing the rear camera quality (with a new camera) other quirks/features I have discovered, etc. not sure of when the video will be out….probably early January

@@HooyahBalls yes, this system supports rear view, front view and 360. You installation may vary vs. mine though

@@ifrainjimenez8857 it’s from 1up USA

@@joeymhs2004 it should from what I’m hearing. I don’t have those options so it’s hard to show

@@Jay107-r9w thanks for the nice comments. Unfortunately, I don’t have a tundra….

Thanks Gary - much appreciated. What exactly is the Nova Launcher? I'm new to Android....

@@tacomanetworkI’ll reach out direct

I'm assuming you're talking about navigation on the Android side? If so, I mainly use CarPlay. When I filmed this video, it was across several days - one to install and 3-4 days to get used to the unit, know where things were. I also spent another 3 days editing and doing the voice over - you know to cut down hours of video content across 3 cameras into a nice little 17 minute watchable video? I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations on this 100% free video. Please contact me for a full refund. 🙃

Video and camera angles are deceiving because the entire unit sticks out maybe 1/2" toward the bed - meaning the unit is thicker than the stock bezel. With that, the bezel still clips into the same stock section of dash, so it's not wider than stock. I haven't compared the two side by side for exact measurements, but I'm not worried about it.

Yep, pretty much any app you can get on Google Play - so far, I've only done UA-cam, but the picture quality is pretty damn good

I left the Amazon link, for US based purchase - they also have their homepage: bit.ly/C12Tacoma. As for your questions - I was hesitant on the built in amp being so small in size, but it pushes my kicker speakers (I got from Crutchfield) very nicely - I pretty much don't need an external amp, or at least don't want one. I have found on the CarPlay side that Apple Music plays louder and somewhat crisper than Spotify - probably has to do with the way the music is encoded. You also have options on the harness to run pretty much anything you want for amps/subs/etc though

Everything on your dash display remains - pitch and roll, miles to empty, air in tires. The android side does have additional information that I haven't dove into yet including air in tires and main of the controls that the stock head unit had (I covered this quickly in the configuration section). And yes, on the CarPlay side, you have the choice of Darkmode and Automatic - If in Automatic, anytime you switch your headlights on, it goes to Darkmode. On the Android side is has a similar option, I just usually stay in CarPlay

@tacomanetwork thanks for the info, this looks awesome, might consider since my stock headunit, decides to work whenever it feels like it. I've been without a radio for months now 🤣

I'm not sure - I have the base model. From what I have gathered from other users is that the upgraded option is great for the Android side when uploading more complicated apps that require those options

Hey, Mumfy - Yes, I found out that if you place two fingers anywhere on the screen (where there's no buttons) and you slide at least one finger up or down, the volume slider is controlled by your fingers. Same if you go left or right, its previous track or next track (opposite of the steering wheel 😬)

Yes, it's capable of the rear, front and 360 camera. Your wiring may slightly vary from mine, as I only have the rear camera.

@@tacomanetwork Thank you very much for your response, after the installation any trouble or something wrong with the unit? I am still deciding to purchase it

I've had it running in my truck for a week and a half now, no issues to report. It fires up CarPlay so fast and every single time in 10-15 seconds. Minor annoyances: on the android side, it still displays Celsius (although the engineering team has sent me a file to download to fix this) and the back up camera (with my LED upgraded plate lights) is terrible (I showed this in the video) - I should have a solution for the backup camera, so that will be solved too. Really like this unit, it seems like it stands above all other Android upgrades out there and they seem to have a very responsive team at CTH.

What specifically? the wiring? there's basically no other "set up" for the reverse camera besides minor things like muting audio while in reverse, etc.

Me too.....but with this, we can have reliability and a V6 😁

Naw, we're the last gen with reliability of a naturally asperated engine. It's cool......we're also watching all of the engine and transmission failures of the 4th gen while eating popcorn watching our 14.6" screen 😂

Yes, It fits any model of 2016-2023 3rd gen. All plug and play. You should be able to follow my install guide

I think it’s better, and way more configurable. You have that large equalizer and pre set sound stages. You can also control the positioning in the cab. I do have upgraded Kicker speakers, but they sound better than the stock head unit

@@tacomanetwork ok cool. I have 2 10" subwoofers behind the back seats i want to make sure the speakers keep up w them

They should.

Yeah, they incorporated the vents nicely and all set with the OEM clips.

Agreed, but Google maps is really nice along with being able to watch videos when I’m on my lunch. If we played by those rules, we’d all be on flip phones still

I thought the same thing when ordering….but I hardly pay attention to that now after it’s installed.

@ would be cool if the same company made vents to match as well. Wouldn’t be too hard.

Being that this is an injection molded piece (the bezel that includes the vents) the molds are very expensive - we're talking new Tacoma pricing. Plus the engineering behind the mold to allow enough air to pass through - if you have a circle going to a circle, you'll have a sliver of a "1/4 moon" shape pushing air through. The rectangular vent allows for more air to be pushed through. I'd rather have the same, if not more air come through than matching vents. 😃 My 9-5 is in the injection molding industry and there's a ton that goes into this.

Yes, this is compatible with all 3rd gen’s including the JBL version and the 360 cam. My install did not include that, but I’m sure it’s close.
