I scrolled the comments. I have an '18 TRD Sport with heated mirrors and seats. I saw that heated seats and dual climate is controlled on the touchscreen. I'm assuming the mirror defrost is there as well?
@@aaronbrown9180 yes. They are linked with the rear defrost.
Can it connect to the default wifi in the car?
If so, could you explain to me how to do it?
Can I get this in Canada? I have a 2022 Tacoma and I love this
@@CodeCraftAcademy-dd1qd you sure can. We have a big distribution company up there in Automobility. If you contact them they can connect you with a dealer in your area.
Or you can purchase through on of our online dealers like www.adcmobile.com or www.fnaautomotive.com
@@LinksWellInc Thanks so much
@ no problem.
Does this require a new microphone cable for calls?
@@JoeK0322 yes. Like all aftermarket radios it comes with its own microphone.
My tacoma is a 2018 4x4 sport it doesn't have a climate system, it has knobs, can I still install this radio unit? I loved it and want buy it now
Yes. If you watch our install video on this radio you will see how we replace the factory knob controls.
I wanted the new xl for my Ram, but it doesn't have Sirius xm built in... Gonna have to wait and see if it's added in the future.
So for clarity sake. There is no aftermarket radio with SiriusXM built in. There are Aftermarket radios that are “SiriusXM Ready”, meaning the radio has been manufactured with the SiriusXM data port to be able to run a SiriusXM V300 tuner, which is sold separately.
The only way to get these ports is by going through the approval process with SiriusXm. This process takes anywhere from 12-48 months. We did this process with our Generation 5 radio. It took nearly 38 months to get through it. But we did it
The issue now due to the XL and Gen 6 receiving a newer processor, SiriusXM is required us to start the process all over again.
So we weren’t going to delay the release of the XL for years, and we aren’t really looking to spend the money to do the development to run the basic V300 tuner. If we go for SiriusXM Ready approval again for the new radios we will do it for SiriusXM 360, which is 100 times harder to work with then the original. So there is no real timeline or even guarantee the XL will ever be SiriusXM Ready.
For what it’s worth, the Gen 6 and XL both have a SIM Card option. With this you could run the SiriusXM App on the radio using data. The audio is much better as well there are more channels and features, but of course it does require that you have cell service.
But for now that is where we sit with SiriusXM.
@LinksWellInc Thanks for the info, just kept hearing reviews saying no Sirius xm. Seemed like a waste to spend that kind of money and not have it but have pretty much everything else. Would it work through android auto then if I had an app for Sirius on my phone?
@@jsav5845 oh ya totally. You can use the app on the radio itself. Or through CarPlay/Android Auto if the app is on your phone.
What is the refresh rate?
Can you still connect Apple car play with the cord? I’ve had bad luck with the wireless Apple car play. My 2022 trd off road does not have wireless car play so I’ve Baought the wireless adapter and they are terrible
@@cory7551 we only have wireless.
just bought mine, is there a way to change the theme? my seems to locked and doesnt look like the one in your video.
@@RAMPAC21 if it’s our radio yes. We have videos showing how to change themes and backgrounds in our channel.
I’m slow right now but I’m able to use my iPhone to connect to CarPlay? I’m assuming so.
@@samsquanch1382 absolutely! Wirelessly even!
Do you have a maps widget for these UI? Like Google maps nearby traffic?
@@RAMPAC21 so you can install a Google Maps widget on this.
@LinksWellInc it won't allow me, just shows an icon, not a full live widget.
@ you have to press and hold the icon and it should offer you an option to add a widget. I show that in one of our other videos.
@LinksWellInc is not available. One last q, unit says that Andriod 11 has ended updates for this device . Can I sideload andriod 12? What do you recommend?
@ no. You can not change the Android version. If you change the Android version a bunch of parts will stop working. Things like the Bluetooth chips and other devices are built to only work on the original Android Version. So trying your change that will make other things stop working in the radio itself.
what about the dual climate control? it is functional? thanks!
@@alex0lan yep!
How dose it work with heated seats
@@matthewlotts5978 you control them from the screen.
would this only fit the TRD or as well the SR?
@@edgarivanmiranda1943 it will fit any 16-23 Tacoma.
