I installed new pioneer speakers throughout cab but sound terrible on stock headunit (worse than standard speakers) so have decided to upgrade.
Wiring harness is same as previous models. You can buy harness + steering wheel control module for about $100 on eBay. Have also found a plug which converts OEM usb to actual USB (to plug into new head unit rear USB port). Looking to install the pioneer 3800 model. Anyone else looking to do the same? interested to know if any issues occur etc.
I was talking to a professional car sound installer and hes looking into seeing if I can still keep function in the head up display between the speedo and tacho. otherwise if I keep same head unit he thinks he can get good sound from amp and speaker upgrade and maybe a sound processor to really give me mindblowing sound in my hilux which is a must before any other aftermarket add ons to my sr5. would you know about warranty if you urgrade speakers ? I guess you would only loose warranty on factory speakers right ? not sat nav ?
