    Hey guys,

    First post here on Tundras.com. I have not seen this question asked yet so I figured I would ask, I know there are some new interior creature comfort features in the 2020 (push to start, the upgraded nav system, etc). Has anyone tried fitting the previous model year tundras with the 2020 front usb panel? I know adding USB ports after market is not hard, but I am always a big fan of the stock appeal and not having to drill my interior panels. The 2020 one looks like this:

    I am not sure if this helps but my 2020 Platinum came with some sort connectivity pkg.
    I am almost positive this pkg was a port/distributer installed option.
    The ports are all located down at the bottom of the center stack and look factory.
    My 2020 truck came out of the Gulf states region.

    My guess is that the far left USB port feeds the new CarPlay headunit (since it's not wireless) so if you swapped the panels that particular plug may be hard to wire up

    You could probably just use that instead of the USB external audio port that comes on the 2019 and earlier trucks.

    Doing a google search came up with this post.
    Would the 2020 front usb panel fit in previous years? Like a 2015.
    I didn't find a part number that would be helpful.

    Hopeful,
    MentalBill

    Circling back to this thread, I'm adding a FRAC to my '21 Crewmax, and will be upgrading this panel with BlackCatWorks custom switch panel.

    My existing lower panel looks like this one (not my photo; copied from @aark12), in that there are 3x smaller USB ports, the leftmost one is networked for CarPlay. Looking to find a small Toyota switch insert to replace the very small existing networked one. Don't need the other two, as I have lots elsewhere and I will be using the remaining 'hole' for my ABC switch. Anybody know where I can find one, and whether the networked USB has a different plug configuration in the back?

    I guess what I'm asking is: is there a small Toyota switch- sized plug with the proprietary network connector plug at the back?
