PICS: Avic-D3 in a 2008 Tacoma...

Just did my Avic-D3 with ipod integration and Sirius tuner into my 2008 Tacoma Access Cab. When I bought everything, there was no guarantee from Crutchfield that it will all work because they hadn't tried it on a 2008 yet, so they sent me all the 2007 wiring harnesses etc. Wanted to let all you guys know that everything for the 05-07 Tacoma works on the 08 Tacoma. Crutchfield sent a black plastic bezel to replace the factory bezel but it would have looked way out of place, unless I took it to a shop and had it painted. Scoche, however, makes a bezel that matches the interior cover so I quickly ordered one of their's and it looks factory.

 

Only thing I'm bummed about is the instructions for the steering wheel audio control harness. Not only is it confusing, but it requires you to hack up your factory harness which I'm not too comfortable with doing on a vehicle with 50 miles on it lol. So I scrapped that option halfway into the install, and I guess I'll patiently wait for another option?

 

And yes, I did the bypass trick.

 

Here's a couple pics...

Hey, I saw you posted that same pic over at toyotanation. Nice.

 

I also see you have the same problem as I do with the scosche kit not fitting snugly in (the sides seem to bulge out).... :/

I dunno, I think it looks worse in the pics, in real life you hardly notice.

Did your truck came with the JBL system? I have the JBL CD changer and I can't find anyone selling the proper adaptor harness for it :( .
