I had originally installed the OEM Audio+ full kit with amp and sub into my 2016 4Runner Trail Edition Premium (TEP) with my stock head unit, non-JBL. The sound and volume level was much improved over stock.
I then installed the $600 Car Trim Home (CTH) T10 V2 head unit with Android Auto, wireless Carplay, navigation and 128 GB of storage. I absolutely loved this unit for its fast and large 9" screen, apps like Gaia and custom vehicle telemetry data and graphs with OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth scanner with OBDLink app but the sound quality of this unit was muddled and tinny, even after playing with the EQ and getting to the best possible position. The problem was the audio hardware on the unit. It was so poor, I couldn't listen to any audio at all but I still loved the unit for all the other features. However, the unit died and black-screened after just 3 months of use. I just can't deal with cheap stuff that doesn't work well.
Wanting great audio more than built in Gaia and OBD2 data, I purchased an OEM Entune 3.0 4Runner head unit from a 2022 T4R with the retrofit adapter kit from
Entune 3.0 Install kit for Toyota vehicles - Add Carplay for $2450. It's installed and works very well. Still, I wish it had the ability to install Gaia trail maps and use the OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth scanner with OBDLink app. Back to duplication with the iPad and xGPS unit to get trail maps. I guess we can't have it all.
What are you all doing for trail maps as far as apps and hardware?
