    Replacing nav system while keeping aux, steering wheel controls

    I Bought this from crutchfield, Pioneer DMH-2660NEX Digital multimedia receiver (does not play CDs) at Crutchfield and used their toyota harness. I retained my steering wheel controls AND aux. Worth every penny

    Anyone had paintwork experience with Shadow Mica?

    same, love the color. i also had my rear bumper repainted and my buddy matched it perfectly at his shop. now as far as touch up goes, i used dr colorchip on my chips and its satisfactory. for my scratches, i used a claybar, buffing compound, and some wax. took most of it out to where im the only...

    Radio Upgrades... Let see them.

    Update to my update: Ditched the atoto unit as ive been fighting them for a week about why its not fitting and showing evidence why. So, i took a chance and ordered the pioneer DMH-2660NEX. Im very pleased. Android auto runs flawlessly, the screen is responsive, and it retained the steering...

    Radio Upgrades... Let see them.

    update: the sent out a brand new unit. AWESOME! however, it seems they changed the depth of the screen so now it doesn't fit. not awesome. I've emailed them with pictures to describe my issue. I will see what they come back with. At this point, I'm about to bite the bullet and just be ok with...

    How many miles until your original alternator and/or starter failed?

    my 06 v8 sport, the alternator failed back in 2015 and i think i had about 170k on it. Used my old employee discount and got a brand new OEM. 216k miles today and still going strong

    Radio Upgrades... Let see them.

    Ive been running the atoto A6 for a little over a year now along with the Natika backup camera and heres my take: The atoto a6: Fits great in the oem spot, hence why i wanted it. Android auto with the dongle used to work great. Relatively plug and play with the steering wheel controls, i did...

    TOUGHER Rotors than OEM

    I have the sport so mine may differ from yours unless you also have the sport. In those years I put roughly 100k on them, and they stopped the truck on a dime even with loaded trailers some of which were almost 7k lbs. I recommend tossing the pads that come with the rotors, they're alright but...

    TOUGHER Rotors than OEM

    I run brakeperformance.com dimpled and slotted rotors and Wagner OEX pads all around (the ones that come with the rotors suck). the rotors have a lifetime warranty against warpage and by some miracle i was able to get 5 years out of my front set through towing, hard driving, and 2 calipers. My...

    **UPDATE** - DT has made right - Buyer Beware - Doug Thorley Headers

    thats what i was thinking, get them coated and see if i can have them reimburse me or something. i dont want to go the oem route because of the cost and the fact that they will fail again. id honestly be ok if they took them back, made the aip tubes out of stainless and sent them back. hell im...

    **UPDATE** - DT has made right - Buyer Beware - Doug Thorley Headers

    well this sucks. i have the headers in my living room ready to install when i have the time, now im worried and pissed. i live in chicago so this is a huge concern to me. i agree, i would have been ok if they didnt say the headers were all stainless. but since they advertised it that way, i...
