It's installed inside some stake holes under your existing bed rail caps - so it doesn't depend on what type of cover you have. Installed mine last night, and it completely eliminated the gap.
I tried to compile my thoughts and made a post last night.

I'll try to get better photos today or tomorrow.
I wanted to update everyone that has been interested in upgrading their factory 8" radio with some of the 14" aftermarket options that are popping up. From what I can tell, they are mostly all the same with some minor differences in specs and operating systems.
After researching all of the...
I've recently finished installing a 14" screen and 360 camera system that I bought from Ali Express. It has better specs than the one you saw on YouTube and comes out a little cheaper.
I plan on doing a write up as soon as I get some time but overall, I would recommend it. There are a few...
Used for a few months before I upgraded my radio and have no use for it anymore - everything is in perfect condition.
Located in the Houston area but will ship to the CONUS.
$285 shipped.
I got the infotainment system in on Saturday and spent way too much time working on the install on Sunday.
Some thoughts;
There is nearly no installation support/instructions, which was to be expected. I did initially reach out to the seller with a question that I found my answer to before...
Thanks for providing that pic! I figured it was the entire base assembly. Looks like they run a couple of hundred bucks per side. I guess I'll be modifying my existing housing!
I purchased a 14" infotainment with 360 cameras from AliExpress that I will be using to replace my factory 8"...
I am looking at adding 360 cameras to my SR5 and want to get as close to an OEM look as possible. I am curious if the portion of the OEM side mirror housing that has the cutout for the cameras would work with my application.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to which specific...
For anyone interested, here are some responses I got from the seller;
"Yes, that's right. This 14.6-inch navigation screen system is plug-and-play. We can cover some of the US customs duties and taxes for you, so you'll probably only need to pay around $35-55. The rated power is 25W*4, with a...
Dropping this link for anyone else interested. A guy in a Tacoma Facebook group is wrapping up a series of posts where he installed this unit along with some 360 cams. It looks very promising.

These are all very valid questions - thanks for giving me more to consider.
I'm not entirely sure Google Play matters to me since I really only use Android Auto.
I guess I'm naive, but I never even considered import tariffs. That could definitely be a deal breaker.
I've seen a few...
I have a 2025 SR5, and I only have a few items I don't love about the truck, one of them being the infotainment system.
It seems like our counterparts overseas are producing a 14.6" replacement for the factory 8" screen.
You can see the product here.
I'm sure none of us in T4G have purchased...
The 3T3 by itself is a very modest upgrade. My real reason behind installing it was to gain the RCA inputs for my aftermarket powered subwoofer, with any gains in my mids and highs being icing on the cake. The cake ended up with very little icing.
The 3T3 only has a peak power of 50 watts per...
Does anyone have any experience installing speakers like this in our trucks without any aftermarket amplification?
I want to pull the trigger, but I also know that in the past, door speakers without an amp leave a lot to be desired.
I do have the BeatSonic ENA 3T3 with an aftermarket powered...
To my knowledge, it's automatic and only displays for notifications such as messages, calls, calender events, etc. After a set amount of time, the notification panel will minimize allowing the media panel to fill the entire 1/3 section.
