    #1. My 2008 tundra limited has blue tooth to talk on but not to listen to music on. Is there an easy fix or do I need to buy a new head unit.
    #2. I need bigger breaks up front. I have over sized tires 34's and the front shimmys at speeds over 40 when breaking. Plus you can just tell that truck needs a bigger set of breaks up front, it just does. Which kit do you guys recommend?

    Welcome to the party!!

    #1 Should be a setting in the headunit, for bluetooth, to connect audio. Possibly even your phone. Usually pops up when 1st connecting the bluetooth. I say disassociate phone from truck and retry if you cant find on HU or phone settings.

    #2 Brakes, sounds like warped rotors. Recommend OEM Toyota brake pads. If you are dead set on bigger Toyota TRD Big Brake kit would be my recommendation.

    Normally a shimmy up front when braking is due to warped rotors or improper centering of the wheel on the hub.
    When was the last time you had your brake rotors and pads replaced as well as the brake fluid flushed?
    Old/ bad brake fluid will not provide the same hydraulic pressure as new.

    I believe there is a big brake kit from TRD that would provide extra grabbing power. Don't forget to flush out all the old brake fluid throughout the entire system if its been more than a year or so.
