    I have a base 2015 4.6L double cab SR model . Love my Tundra , got it used with 28K for a fantastic price . My one problem is i want XM and a bigger screen in a stock unit . I cant seem to find a replacement unit online . I would love to add a front camera (it came w/ a backup camera)
    Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

    thanks again !!

    I can't remember the exact year, but Toyota quit putting out parts for the satellite radios. Hardly anybody uses them anymore. Your best bet would be to go with an aftermarket unit. Pioneer and Alpine are the only two head units I'll touch.

    Possibly. You'd have to go with a radio from an older model that says "sat ready" on it, then locate an XM receiver and fit kit to go along with it (Toyota doesn't sell them any more), and add in a rear camera. I just don't know if it would work with it being from an older model Tundra.

    Thanks Roman , I just moved from Hillsbor village / Vandy area in Nashville . My 15 Tundra has the factory backup camera .what's the best way to add XMI? I don't want the aftermarket dash mount ( had one on my 02 4runner )

    No problem. Either retrofitting an older Toyota head unit with the added XM receiver and fit kit, or going with an aftermarket head unit is really your only way to add it in. Everybody listens to music, podcasts, books, etc. from their phones now, so XM stuff is getting harder to come by.
