My 2018 Tundra SR updates/Mods

I used the plastic wedge (whatever it is called) for removing dash pieces without (hopefully) scratching it.

Just find the edges and gently pry it out. I used a couple of wedges. First time I had a difficult time as I could not figure it out either, but a little work and it popped right out without any issues.

 

Maybe I am trying from the wrong direction or something. I tried from the top, with the section lower removed.. nothing seemed to move.. I guess I will have to try again. thanks

 

Check out this video, it goes into more than you need, but it was helpful to me

well crap.. that sure makes it look easy! lol.. I think I was trying from the wrong direction.. thanks a lot! I just put in the Interior light LED and love them. Looking to put some running board lights on next.

 

Those interior LEDs make it nice and bright.

Running board lights huh? Be sure to post your mods, would like to see how you did them.

 

Did you get it worked out? I also watched that video before I did mine and that’s how I did it. I didn’t have a plastic tool to get it so I power gripped it with my bare hands like an animal and let out a grunt as I pulled, worked.

 

lol.. no.. but it snowed last night so I have not been out to my truck to try.. lol

 

Great job on the updates- just added more stuff to my list.

I also have a 2018 SR and after checking with the dealer he said the truck was not wired for entune premium. Do you have any wiring issues with your conversion ? I know I will need to add the gps antenna as well as xm antenna. Was it plug and play or did it need programmed?

 

I don't know about the premium one, as I purchased the entune plus.

I added in the antenna for the Live Weather and a mag mount Sirius/XM antenna that I had. I routed the wire onto the roof and into the cab to the radio. No reprogramming was needed. For the GPS, it actually uses GPS Scout from my Cell phone app.

It was all for me, plug and play and easy to go from the basic to the plus with Sirius/XM module as all the plugs were there and everything worked just fine.

Maybe someone else can answer your question regardint entune premium since I don't know.

Any idea what the difference is between the plus and premium?

 

You did a fantastic job! Thanks for all the great tips on mod's!

 

The premium has all the bells and whistles for sure. (GPS, lots of apps, I think it may have some sort of cellular in it)

I grabbed this info below about the differences off the web

Thank you, I have enjoyed all of them, always look for something new to do In the process of working on a front camera now!

 

Keep me posted on the front camera mod, I know Bree @4x4_Angel was in an awesome thread started by @TundraTex !

Yes it does feel great doing mods when you look back at what you accomplished!

I have to do a Tundra build thread on mine!

Take care bud!

 

Oh, please do give the URL on your thread.

I Did order the FRAC harness and am awaiting it, so I can finish.

The front camera, right now, is one that attaches to the front license plate. I wanted to see how that will do. The hardest thing was getting the big RCA plug through the firewall!.

If it all works well, I will go and take pics and of course post them.

Thank you!

 

Keep em' going

 

Really like the power inverter in the bed, was thinking of doing something like tart as well.

Power cable hooked up



Front View (sorry, too much sun glare inside the truck)


Back view

 

WOW, how hard was the hook up! Looks great!

 

Definitely looks great.

 

Where did your get your front camera ?

 

Thank you, it wasn't hard at all and all the instructions was included on what wires went where.

I did the camera a few days earlier, it took me longer to get the stupid RCA plug through the firewall by myself than doing what I did today.

Maybe an hour today if that.

 

Great work. The warm color interior lights have always bothered me. I like the led interior upgrades.

 

Awesome thanks

 

It makes it so much brighter for sure.

 

I got the camera from Amazon

It seems to do very well too

 

I did the cup holders yesterday and they make a big difference. Thanks. Will look at doing more of your mods on 2018.

 

Yes, cheap and easy to do for the cup holders.

Everything I have done I got from the forums, but it makes it easier to have many in one location instead of searching for it.

I love doing more and more...of course when I have the money hahaha
