Great video and thank you. I’m having an issue after installing the adapter, when I shift my Tacoma out of reverse, the backup camera stays on for like 2 seconds before showing the regular screen on the head unit. Have you experienced this at all?

Hi, awesome video! Can you tell me if you can listen to the radio in the background while viewing the CarPlay screen? Or does choosing the aux input to get to CarPlay make it so you can’t listen to the radio anymore? I like to listen to local radio while using Google maps through CarPlay in my wife’s car which came factory equipped with CarPlay. I’m in a 2019 Tacoma with Entune 2.0, non-JBL. Thanks!!!

I installed this but now, intermittently, whilst system is booting, I get all sorts of errors! The pre collision avoidance detection fails and the car doesnt turn on. Any ideas what might be causing this? Eventually by getting out the car, locking it for a few mins and getting back in and turning on the error clears up but I'm worried about a short circuit or it happening whilst driving! Any tips?

Yeah so basically it’s using an antiquated way of sending video. So the down side of these units is that you lose overall picture quality. Typically these run $200 or less, where a whole new fully functional unit is between $500 and $2,000+

wayy better than beatsonic. i remember i had a 2016 scion tc HU in my scion XA, and wanted android auto, but beatsonics was like $600... so i ended up buying an android headunit just for android auto. I preferred the OEM look. But i think i will just order these for my parents as Christmas gifts.

@@marketpapi everything worked but the screen resolution is not great (which I knew before purchasing). So to have CarPlay and retain all factory buttons, it is nice.
