Swapping in an Entune JBL headunit

[Nick_2a]

Hs anyone swapped a JBL entune headunit into their 3rd gen that originally came with the base stereo? I found a very good deal on the oem JBL unit and speakers and was wondering if it is all plug and play?

Should be plug and play. Might need a wire harness for the amp and sub. I don’t know if all levels have the wiring in place from factory.

I would love to do this myself I just haven't found one cheap enough myself

You and me both!

Everywhere I have found them they cost about 1500 bucks

Yeah, I will NEVER spend that kind of money on a car stereo. I'll deal with my factory box.

Thanks all, I have an access cab so I won’t be utilizing the sub. But for $150 I can’t pass it up!

Dude, that's still a $hit load of money to spend on an vehicle head unit.

Make sure it comes with the factory sub or it won’t work.

I wasn’t going to take the sub with the purchase, why wouldn’t it work?

My bad, I meant the stock amp

Okay so I don’t need the sub then, but there is a separate amp I need? Pardon my ignorance

JBL units don't work in non JBL trucks and Access cabs never had a JBL option. There is a separate amp that runs all the door speakers and sub so the wiring is different. Unfortunately, you bought yourself a paperweight.

Always better to go aftermarket IMO. The JBL systems I've had in my last 2 Camrys wasn't all that great.

I was going to buy it when I got back in town, glad I didn’t then. Thanks for the warning!

Glad you didn't spend the cash yet. If you get an OEM headunit, look for non JBL. Honestly though I would go aftermarket. The functionality is much better than the Entune units.
