'm considering the new JVC KW-NT3HDT. It includes lifetime traffic. It uses the new HD Total Traffic Plus system. http://www.clearchannel.com/Radio/Press ... aseID=2696 Traffic looks great but the rest of the unit doesn't look exceptional. edited to ask--Do you know how the Kenwood bluetooth works with steering wheel controls? I know I'll have to purchase PAC SWI-JACKv1 or the Metra equivalent.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm looking at Kenwood or the new JVC. Do you have an opinion regarding either line?

I'm looking to purchase a HU in the next month or so. Lack of traffic is a deal breaker. Has Pioneer given any indication if they'll be offering an alternative traffic provider to current units? Unless I'm missing something buying a current Pioneer HU, and counting on traffic in 2012 is a gamble. Don't know if it will be available or for how much. I don't know if I missed some press release that had the info. I'm looking at the Kenwood with lifetime Navteq or the new JVC with lifetime HD traffic.

Since you haven't gotten any answers--I don't know about the Tacoma but for at least some 2010 Toyota's the XM is integrated with the JBL HU. The XM antenna plugs directly into the HU.
