    Hello, love the forum. I have had a few Tundras, five I think. The new one is a 2021 Tundra Limited Crewmax that I've had less than a month. My question is, I am not into technology and miss having a good old fashioned CD player. I am wondering if I can switch out my 2021 JBL head unit with a 2014-2019 JBL head unit with the CD player. Has anyone done this? I like the look of stock, so I don't want to switch to some other brand, just want my CD player back. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? Thanks in advance.

Aftermarket halo headlights with HID, various LED bulb replacements. 17" Fuel Blitz wheels with some 33" Nitto terra grapplers. Hoodscoop, nfab nerfbars, Bushwacker flares. No-name aftermarket grille, led fender extensions. Black Horse bambi-basher. Various offroad lights.
    Looks like the answer is no, at least w/o some type of conversion harness. According to this thread (2019 Head Unit Upgrade? | Toyota Tundra Forum (tundras.com)), they changed some of the plugs on back of head unit on the 20+ tundies. While I'm sure some one has made a conversion harness to upgrade 14/19 tundies to 20+, might have a hard time finding one to downgrade.

    You should be able to have a remote CD player and bluetooth/usb into your existing HU, but yeah, kind of a PITA.
