    I have a 2012 tundra limited crew max it has the JBL system. I have a back up camera, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth, also have aux usb plug and 3.5 mm plug below a/c controls.


    So I’m curious is there a way to replace the head unit and keep all of my stock plugs camera and Bluetooth mic. Thanks in advance. Michael

    12” Bulletproof Lift, AFE CAI, AFE Exhaust, rock lights, Fas-Top tonneau and soft topper, Dasaita 10.2” radio, light bar, ditch lights, LED headlights and fog lights, LED interior lights, Amp Research rear bumper step, dashcam, BT ODBII reader and Torque app on radio
    Go to Crutchfield’s website and see what fits.

    I replaced my stock with the Dasaita Android unit. It can be buggy at times, but I love it. Plenty of options with apps and add-ons. I have stock backup camera, steering wheel controls, added a ODBII BT reader, front camera, dash cam, etc….

    Was not able to keep factory MIC or USB ports.

    Some people complain the audio isn’t as good as other main name brand like Pioneer or Kenwood, but I can’t tell.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    With the right adapter harnesses and SWC controller, you’ll be able to retain everything except the factory mic. The factory mic is powered, and all the aftermarket units are not. There are people that have done it, but it requires actually hacking the factory mic up which (to me) defeats the purpose of keeping the factory mic.
