    Default Car audio recommendations?

    The stock stereo in my ?05 Tacoma needs replacing, and I need to upgrade to something more modern (the stereo, not the truck), with Bluetooth, etc. Does anybody here do this? If not, any recommendations for a place where I can look at the stereos and get it installed reasonably? Do people still use Best Buy? Car toys?

    Bill put my stereo in 10 years ago when he had a mobile service (speed of sound) Went to see him just the other day for a little bug in that same & now obsolete stereo & he serviced it no charge because he's that kind of guy. Give him a call & he'll help you sort your options.

    & as a bonus, you can pop on over to shooter ready & say hello to the guys for a few minutes too. They're just across the parking lot.

    I used CN’s guy. I thought I’d need speakers too (they’ve been sounding crappy), but he told me to hold off and see how they sounded with the new stereo. He was right - they’re fine. He’s a stand-up guy, thanks!

    Glad you liked him & you're welcome.

    Thanks for the ideas. I shouldn’t be hesitant to do it myself, just lazy....

    It’s a simple Bluetooth double din from pioneer

    it’s latency during phone calls is eh I may upgrade to one with nav and a backup camera because even parking a baby truck in the city is horrible
