    Hi All. 1st time posting.
    I am the original owner of an '06 Tundra. I drove it on many road trips to tournaments while coaching but over the last six years it has been mostly sitting in the garage. My company truck, a '14 Tacoma, has been my go-to for all of my driving since it is a bit easier to maneuver on crazy So Cal freeways (300 K on it). I am getting ready for a road trip to and I am taking the '06; it has 91K miles and is in great shape.
    I am looking for a Bluetooth kit for my factory radio. I have seen a couple online but the GTA kit seems to be the most suitable.
    Any advice on this?

    I'd personally skip the kit and replace the factory head unit with a nicer touch-screen double-din unit that has all the extra features and more, plus more-modern (and more stout) power.

    But that's just me. I'm heavily biased. There are also newer-model OEM Taco/Tundra/etc. head units with Bluetooth, hands free, backup camera which are a direct bolt-in swap if you poke around. The one from your '14 may even install in your '06? Just something else to think about.

    Yes, I have looked at the factory units and I do like them with all of the features however I want to avoid a big price tag. Do you have any that you would recommend?
