Wireless Android Auto / Carplay in a 2nd gen Tacoma - Everything you need to know! Kenwood DMX907s

[@RipcordHQ]

PRE-2012 Tacoma's can also have backup cameras, and are also in the mirror. The information mentioned in this video should be valid for those as well!

[@McFlysGarage]

my 2012 SR5 has it in the mirror. might be a 2012 and older thing

[@f.l6316]

My 2012 TRD taco came with the backup camera and radio touchscreen setup

[@ThatGen2Taco]

My 2012 TRD Sport came with the backup camera in the mirror also.

[@noahpickerill3749]

Dude, that color. 😮😮😮😮 I tried to find spruce green but just couldn't. I bought a white one with 52K miles and a 6-inch lift for 23K, so that kinda made me give up, and the spruce green dream.

“This beautiful new unit, right here, is a Kenwood DMX...” Me: *[Ruff Ryders Anthem flashbacks]*

[@kahlinkoertner5241]

Been looking for a solution like this since I bought my Tacoma. Thanks a lot man super informative.

[@mikestivers8302]

i'm almost done with my conversion.. i was able to fit a Skar 8" sub in the factory box with some easy mods (and patience). i used adapters to replace the door speakers, 6" mids in all doors. i used sound deadening in the sub area/back wall and on the 4 doors. two small amps behind the left passenger seat - the storage area. i'm replacing the factory radio with a 12" screen android/tablet style. the most time consuming aspect was tracing all the JBL wiring and tearing it out.

[@ChrisRiekert99]

Hey - Thanks for this video. Starting to go down the rabbit hole of replacing my OEM headunit. Really clear video with all the info needed. Appriciate the work. Subbed.

[@Spacey_Tea]

With the head unit included whats was your total price on hardware? I have a 2014 Tacoma and would love to have Android Auto. Thanks for the video 😊 Looks nice lots if great information.

[@timfrancis6774]

I have a few questions as my jvc doesn't have android auto, how's the radio holding up? All I am getting is 1 station right now. Have the pac harness to get new one up and running. But the camera replacement intrigues me. Do you have any more videos of install ?

[@rdatkins1]

Has your parking brake connection by-pass been reliable? I heard on some Kenwood units the receiver looks for a "pulse" and if it doesn't get it determines its not connected to an activated parking brake. Also, did you ground it to metal or the ground wire in the harness?

[@SpencerPhotography]

Yo - Bro - this is so good! Thanks for this video!

[@drumsandfreedom]

Total cost? At this point I am considering just buying a whole new vehicle for CarPlay lol. This setup looks like 800+ labor, am I wrong?

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

Add another $200 for accessories/harnesses also. That Maestro is like $165, plus I think you'll need a harness that lets it connect to everything, and also add $25 if you want them to connect all the harnesses for a true plug-n-play experience.

[@rustyshackelford8769]

You got a new stereo. Congratulations.

[@lpis45]

Always great content and very informative.

[@rebeccaalexandra5896]

My 2010 TRD sport has the backup camera in the mirror too

[@cpt_sweettooth]

did you have the jbl with nav on your eom deck?

[@elijahsaldivar4115]

I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma i like to buy aftermarket apple CarPlay unit but I want it to will I factory backup camera

[@mattearle9141]

I'm coming up on the end of my first week with the exact same setup you installed (DMX907S/Maestro Rr/Aftermarket backup camera) in my 2013 Limited with the same factory stereo you had and am wondering how you're feeling about it after nearly a year? I'm struggling a bit with the steering wheel controls. I relied heavily on them with the factory stereo and am completely lost now that I've upgraded. I've always mostly listened to SiriusXM with a few over-the-air radio stations mixed into my factory presets and loved being able to scroll through them without issue. Do you know if there is a translation guide somewhere on how the steering wheel controls work once this setup in installed?

[@davislema3298]

I have to ask.. did you paint your Tacoma?. Looks awesome that green

[@RipcordHQ]

Factory color! (albeit rare) Spruce Mica

[@jrambo0617]

I have a 2015 Taco and want to do the same thing. Do you have links for all the items you purchased?

[@golfgolf7692]

Is there any security or something that can cover the unit. so it looks like nothings there. I live in SF and afraid that its gonna get stolen the first night parked on the street.

[@Tacoexplorer]

That’s awesome. I have a 2015 Tacoma without jbl or navigation. Do I still need thr Maistro RR? Or this unit is needed for OBD vehicle inputs? I.e displaying tire pressure, resetting codes? Where did you tie this unit into the vehicle? OBD port?

[@RipcordHQ]

The maestro is needed for the OBD features (gauges and stuff) and yes it plugs into the OBD port. But you should able just get the crux module to get the steering wheel controls to work since you dont have JBL.

[@brandon6451]

Does this unit have a built in Amp that makes your speakers louder than normal? I know you said you already had a Amp. I have a 2013 as well. I might come back with more questions thanks!

[@Carlos-ln1lx]

All headunits have a tiny Amp. They're alll crap at this budget tho

[@charlesgardner4875]

Question can the Maestro data unit be used with the factory head unit 2013 model to get assess to the vehicle information like the tire pressure monitoring system and be displayed on it or do you have to purchase another head unit?

[@baileyhooper5337]

can you install to a 2015 tacoma?

[@stevenbaldwins2368]

I have the same head unit. How did you do wireless car play and how can you watch movies through the USB input I thought you had to buy a hdmi cable and adapter

[@RipcordHQ]

I was referring to movies on a USB flash drive or something. And IDK how to answer your first question besides connect it to bluetooth then open carplay

[@jacobdefebo7671]

Super cool! Would I be able to install this in a 2011 Tacoma? Or is this a 2012 and above thing? Thanks!

[@RipcordHQ]

Yeah! Im just not sure on the backup cam part

[@TroyNygren]

Does the DMX907s have the ability to turn off the screen completely for nighttime driving?

[@RipcordHQ]

yup

[@terranbrown8624]

Good info my guy!!

[@LeonardoGrinn]

Which camera replacement did you use??

[@Leatherkid01]

Am more a charcoal gray guy but i subbed anyways 😉👍🏻

[@cordellhall66]

So when can I drive Over to your house to help me install this bad boy! We got the same truck 😂😂

[@LamzShop]

Does the head unit have the ability to run aux switches?

[@jinearench8360]

Bro. Could you please show a video of how you close the tailgate when you go to sleep? Thanks a lot. I'm a big fan of your camper. :)

[@RipcordHQ]

Will do!

[@jorge98villa]

What’s the link for the rodeo

[@NaatediggidyDawg]

SWEET! But how does this work for those of us with older second gens ?

[@RipcordHQ]

should be the same, but id check with crutchfield

[@joshuastone3402]

My back up cam is on my screen. 2012 TRD JBL

[@niftyvisuals]

Great video! Is that a 3rd gen steering wheel?

[@RipcordHQ]

Nope, factory wheel. 2012-2015 Tacomas had improved interiors compared to earlier 2nd gens.

[@KICROKS86]

awesome video, does it tell u pitch and roll or outside temp ?

[@RipcordHQ]

nope

[@OMY2FYB]

How much for all that?

[@vinnyvidivici]

$420.69

[@imunknown23]

@ripcord do you remember which wire is the parking sensor that you tapped into the ground

[@RipcordHQ]

The wiring diagram that comes with the radio should say, Should be the light green wire but double check that. Could also be labeled as "E-Brake"

[@imunknown23]

@@RipcordHQ I just double checked and it is the light green wire. Thanks by the way for the head unit recommendation I got it for my 14’ Tacoma and I just finished the install

[@SkylineBricks-dc1ic]

The sound quality if you listen to music is better wired. You do lose a bit through wireless.

[@roymartindeguzman6033]

Are you traveling Canada with your wife ? You look like you are the person I bump with in lake O Hara

[@mub3ady]

If I understood you correctly I have a 2019 tacoma trd offroad ,, if I install this radio I wont loose any oem function like steering buttons and usb port ? Is that correct? And thank you so much your videos are awesome, really grateful and Appreciate your efforts If youtube gives the option of more than 1 like per video I would have given this video so many likes that youtube would probably have banned me 😅

[@RipcordHQ]

There are adapters to make everything work! Crutchfield is a great website and will show you what you need

[@mub3ady]

Ripcord awesome Thanks for the reply And for the awesome video

[@p0larbearRLP]

My 2012 sr5 has the camera screen in the radio from factory

[@danielhannah9771]

Very nice! I need now lol from your friends at @toyotanationtc

[@RipcordHQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@petmic202]
