Aftermarket head unit

looking for recommendations on an aftermarket head unit for my 2014 tundra, specifically one that has the capabilities to tell my my tire pressure(seen on another thread) one not too expensive but not too cheap either! Any help would be appreciated. and go!

 

Do you currently have Tire Pressure in your dash cluster? (Sorry, I went from a '00 to a 2019, so I don't know what '14 has)

TPMS could probably be displayed as part of the Maestro functions. Maestro interface would be needed to retain steering wheel controls.

I get tire pressures (and so much more) on the big ol' Kenwood I recently installed, but I can't really say it fits your parameter of "not too expensive".

My wife said it WAS too expensive, and I can't disagree... but it's pretty cool!

 

in the 2014 tundra it doesnrt show the tires that are low like in the later models it just throws the tire light i dont want anything that sticks out i want a good clean fit

 

I’ve had a Kenwood and Alpine in my Tundra - I’d give the nod to the Kenwood. Better user interface, better camera options.

 

what size do i need if i go with one? and what do you recommend? i see alot of different models i want something i can wire up subs with also

 

I’d focus on something the wireless CarPlay. I’ve had a flush mount 7” screen and floating 11” screen - I prefer the larger floating screen style.

Something like this -

i really like the flush mounts they just look cleaner to me, furthermore with Christmas coming up thats a little out of my price range lol the wife might kill me if i spend that kind of money lol

 

I thought the same until I realized could wait to pick up my kids like this

 

how are you watching tv lol ???

 

They have HDMI inputs. Chrome cast and a hotspot.

ETA - that’s actually a fire stick but you get the idea. They are USB powered HDMI stick with a remote.

 

Take a look at this

Is that the Alpine or Kenwood?

Traffic was shitty on the way home from a Dr's appointment today so I put a Bill Burr stand-up special on Netflix.

One thing I've noticed is that when I wirelessly screen mirror to my phone the video doesn't fill the screen like that pic.

I'm wondering if I had a feed into the HDMI Input if it's go full screen.

Hmmm, I do have a spare Firestick laying around.

 

Ha Haaa!! Firestick for the full-screen win!

I was parked in front of my house so I was on my wifi network... but I expect a Hotspot should yield similar results.

 

Phoenix Android Radio. I’m on my second, love ‘em. No Maestro needed, completely plug and play. Newer versions have wireless Car Play.

Installed in my truck:

 

What radio is that?

 

@Cthulhu, I have been on the fence for a while now on getting one of these units. A few questions if you don't mind. How is the rear camera resolution. Are you using with an Andriod Phone or Iphone? Are you using the hotspot from your phone or are you connecting with a data sim card for the unit? How fast is the boot up? I'd love to see some more videos/pictures of this thing in action!

 

- Rear camera resolution is about the same as OEM. Front camera resolution depends on the resolution of the camera you purchased.
- iPhone.
- I use wireless Apple Carplay for Carplay-compatible apps (like Waze), but if I need internet access for streaming, I use my iPhone's hotspot (which is practically never since I usually use my tablet for streaming in the truck).
- Boot speed depends on how long your truck has been sitting or if the battery has been disconnected; if you use your truck everyday, I'd say boot is about 5 seconds (fast boot), and if it sits a long time or the battery is disconnected, about 15-20 seconds (normal boot).
- I was thinking about setting up a Teams call with people who are interested in seeing a lot of the functionality of this HU, and answer questions. I still might do it, but it would have to be around Christmas time when I am on vacation, due to work obligations between now and then.

I hope this helps.

 

I appreciate the answers, I would totally be down for a teams call, that would be really helpful!

 

Looks like it fits perfectly! Does it have rca output to allow for an aftermarket amplifier?

 

Do u loose access to your power outlets 2 cigarette an one ubs, which looks to be under that unit? I run a beat sonic hookup for front an rear camera will this unit hook up they the b.d.?

 

Yes, I have a 1,000 watt RMS JBL amp pushing (2) 10” JBL shallow subs.

No to losing cig chargers and USB/AUX ports (and glass break sensor if you have it). Second question, sorry, I don’t understand it really, but I can tell you the HU has video in for both front and rear cameras (if you don’t have a factory rear camera).

 

Thanks for the quick response. Was considering a pioneer 6600, then kenwood 1057 caught my eye, now this! I thought I was going to order the kenwood, now I’m thinking this might be the way to go. Hmmmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions. I have a pioneer amp with a dual subs as well.

thanks again for taking the time to answer questions.
