2008 Toyota Tacoma Update

Installation was easy and everything worked right away. There are several videos on the web showing how to film a radio. Dashboard connections are easily removed and, more importantly, reassembled easily and securely. There is a small compartment in the bottom right hand corner of the steering column and after cutting a small hole in the back of the compartment I placed the unit there and then routed the wire to the back of the radio. This year's model had terrible radio reception - poorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Something different

Works great in a 2003 Celica GTS with JBL 16834

I installed this in my Celica with a JBL Factory Premium Sound System model 16834. It doesn't have a 6-disc CD changer, but it has the necessary connector on the back to connect CRUX BTS-TY2. I'm happy with the sound of the standard system and just wanted to add the ability to play music from a USB drive. Bluetooth and Aux are also nice to have and work well. You have to turn the volume up a little louder than a CD or radio, but the sound quality is very good. Worth the money for me.

Pros
  • Fits a lot
Cons
  • Some cons

Annoying but works well for the money.

Not the easiest thing in the world to install. I couldn't get the device connector clip on the back of my radio (2004 4runner) to *click*; I thought it was too big so I sanded/shaved the plastic. After that there was still no click, but I pushed it all the way in and it worked. Before putting everything back together, be sure to turn on the machine and check the connection with the blue LED. Sound quality is good, but it requires turning your phone's volume up (don't go all the way to 100%). Iโ€ฆ

  • great product
Cons
  • good but not great

Pretty sure it's a factory short.

Hey, for $60 you can't expect perfection. But the local car radio dealer offered me $300 to install a similar unit. It took me a YouTube search to find a video teaching me how to get my car radio out - really easy. I installed CRUX and it worked for a while the first time. I had to pull out the radio a second time and adjust the cables. I'm pretty sure the problem is with the factory wiring and not the CRUX. Anyway it works great now. As other reviews have noted, the sound requires you to turnโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Finally got it
Cons
  • Protection

Great product! suitable for cars and automotive electronics

I was looking for a reliable way to stream from my phone to my truck stereo. I don't like aftermarket stereo replacements, but I've come to terms with the fact that this is my best bet for maintaining sonic integrity. I stumbled across this and decided to give it a try. Installation is very easy and connecting to your phone is just as easy. To make it look neater I got the suggested extension bracket. It took some effort, but I was able to remove one of the cigarette lighter sockets and put anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • Style 90

I'm glad they did but there is room for improvement

I installed this in my 2005 Scion xB and am using it on my iPhone via bluetooth. I was hoping to connect my phone to a USB port, but unfortunately I can't play music through it. Pros - Automatically connects to the phone when I turn on the car - the audio is crystal clear. Minus - every time I turn on the car. , writes"Bluetooth connected" through the speakers. I'd rather he wouldn't say it and just chimed in without saying anything. "Even with my phone on maximum volume and my stereo onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • There are problems

Easy installation. Easy to use. Random failures.

The module is very easy to install in my 2008 Toyota Sienna. It took less than 1 hour from start to finish. The overall sound quality is excellent considering I have a factory JBL system. However, there are a few downsides: First, I had to disable the rear entertainment system. Not a big deal since kids use headphones anyway. You can watch a movie while I listen to my music and podcasts. So the inconvenience is temporary. Less insignificant, however, is the fact that the Crux mix randomly stops

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Will not work with my "compatible " radio

I bought this for a 2004 Toyota Sienna with sound system/DVD/CD changer. After I dismantled the dashboard, this device was simply plugged into the back of the radio (CD compartment). hour your cable. The device was switched on and I connected it to my iPhone, but the radio did not recognize the device. "Disc" button that toggles between internal CD and CD changer. If a CD changer was connected, it switched to "CD changer input". But once Crux was plugged in, it only went to CD (internal CD). an
