Add usb to 2012 tundra

[lxgoldsmith]

my family just got a new tundra double cab, and we want to have an available usb port to charge smartphones and play music through the stereo system and control it through the radio, as many other new cars do.

is there a simple available option to buy a part and move a few things to install this option? I'd rather not spend a lot of time and money fitting a double din radio receiver in a toyota.

do you have the jbl system or the base system

I was asked that before and still don't know how to tell other than the satellite capability. yes, it can receive satellite radio

it should have a logo on the front of the radio if it doesnt then its just a stock toyota radio

your truck supports a double din without modifaction provided you buy the required faceplate . some websites like sonic electronix and crutchfield offer those free most of the time . your best bet is to go with an aftermarket radio to get the features u desire . the radio i will link to has almost every option you would need and lots of upgradability (don't know if thats a word) for the future . One of the features that stand out is the HDradio which is 100% better than fm .

An aftermarket head unit will give you much better sound as well.
The Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS is the newer model with a slightly larger screen and is the same price though:

that's pretty cool, but it will look kinda weird in a toyota dash, and I'm not ready to take apart the dashboard yet to replace a working sub-par radio with a $330 receiver.

No it wouldn't the truck can come stock with a double din touch screen .
