I really want to replace the factory JBL head unit in my 2007 TRD Sport Tacoma with something along the lines of a Pioneer AVIC D3. I stopped by a local installer today and was quoted $1,799.00 installed. I told him that was about $500.00 more than I expected, and he proceded to explain to me that the amplifier won't start up without some sort of data stream that gets transmitted from the JBL head unit, and in order to replace the head unit, you have to buy a $200 part that stores this data from the JBL unit to "trick" the amplifier into thinking it's still attached. I think he said the part was called TLY-K1 or something like that. He basically stressed that it was a big job, and not likely something I could myself. I don't recall this part or problem being mentioned here, and a search provided no joy, so I wanted to see if anyone had some first hand experience to share.
I was under the impression that I could just pull out the JBL head unit, install a dash kit from Scosche, install the AVIC-D3 and be good to go. (Much simplified obviously)
Thanks in advance!
