Question: Can anyone confirm wired Android auto and/or CarPlay works? I thought it was disabled on vehicles with wireless support --> namely to block the aftermarket/hacking accessories..
I was misled by the 5-pin dock wiring harness -- the actual 4 wire supply feeds to the side (12V+/-, Center +/-) where it mates with a small circuit board.. Pull the dock. You could remove the two center channel leads from the connector keeping the 12V supply however I *think* the JBL amp re-EQs...
Yes, I removed the JBL dock.. completely. Resulting in 3 pieces removed:
1) Speaker
2) Dock surround/top trim
3) Dock
Details:
There's a surround trim piece that pops up (by hand) to give access to 2x 10mm bolts at the front/button side of the dock. Also 2x 10mm at rear of dock (accessible...
So far I'm very happy with my DIY/prototype center channel speaker and will be building a second, cleaner looking revision this week. Note: I'm using a Beat-Sonic ENA-2T3 so I'm getting additional amplification on what I believe to be all speakers/channels.
In summary I'd say the sound is...
Agreed! Did your harness supply constant 12V/battery as well? The fitcamx only ACC+/ACC- so I ran a wire to the fuse box for battery... you know, for my not-GPS accessory;) But also: I needed to pull the A and B pillars to properly route the rear camera wire..
To be fair, it takes all of 10m to route power from the passenger fuse box... You can remove the mirror cover without a pry tool (pop the small top/center cover out using a finger, then slide the large molding downwards). The passenger A-pillar cover comes off with a 10mm socket (use pry tool...
For those wishing to replace the JBL center dock assembly altogether with a custom center channel speaker using the existing amped center channel wiring the following would be needed:
1) Non-JBL speaker cover which would be cut to hold replacement speaker(s)
OEM Part No.: 55474-AK010
2)...
I went the FitcamX route which replaced the mirror cover (eg. stealth dashcam) and also included a pass-through power adaptor. It's pricey but nothing on the windshield. Install took 10min.
Looks like this would do the trick for those wishing to lower the volume on the JBL center..

I would first make sure you're content with the front L/R audio when the JBL is installed.. It seems the EQ is reconfigured when the JBL is present (eg...
I have a few issues on my 2025 TRD Pro:
1) Siri will not read back any incoming text messages
EDIT: after updating to IOS 18.3.1 today Siri is reading messages out of driver/left door.
Is this normal? My other vehicles would pause audio and Siri would voice through the entire system
2) When...
It's white, aka storm trooper motif. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't already have a white/black 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 with minor red accents as well :p -- Two cars in a row with no decent color options! Queue the wraps maybe..
Roger.. For those wishing to lower the JBL centre volume: I don't know much about lowering a high level channel [amped] - Everything I've found is a high/low converter or a low/line level control. Adding resistance/impedance before the dock is likely what's needed.. This is or was a common...
As suspected, we have an amped center channel.. using a passive speaker it sounds much better than the JBL!
Details:
We have a Toyota head unit [and likely JBL amped] high level center + constant battery supply
connected to the dock which in turn converts voltage and audio into to the removable...
Update:
There's a good chance we have an analogue single channel 2-wire pair to the dock. Should have speaker, wire and time to confirm tomorrow.
Details:
I took the JBL dock apart today.. Although it is 5-pin/contact the dock itself is fed 4 wires: Batt +/- and what I assume to be center +/-...
I didn't realize the FRONT leveller on my Beat Sonic 2T3 was for all speakers and the REAR for car alerts/voice-overs/etc.. what are you folks setting rear to if front is at 3 o'clock? I think I cranked mine all the way to 6 o'clock.. removed my seat belt at a carwash and nearly hung my self...
Do you have any pics by chance? I didn't want to put it in the glove box but would love an accessible location!
I was looking at the JBL center yesterday [since it's not in the truck!] and noticed it has 5 contact pads for the dock's 5 contact pins.. I think there's 3 scenarios:
1) Custom...
This happens to me every time I use remote start.. Also, Siri appears to be completely broken:
1) When I hold a button or touch the screen to dictate only the left speaker(s) lower in volume - often Siri can not cipher what I'm speaking and/or continues to listen to the background music coming...
I have many cameras on my 2025 including the cab rear view camera and am certain it was available on select 2024 models as well.. I had originally ordered a 2024 TRD Pro with the same. That said, I can switch from cab to tailgate cameras in the "View" mode/app.. not sure if I can do this on the...
