About This Video

In this video I upgraded my sister Lindsey’s 2013 Toyota Tacoma with an AUCAR 14” Tesla-style Android 13 screen… and I let her do the install. She drove hours to the Don’s Life garage, and the whole point was to give her a real beginner install experience, because she won’t have me around next time something needs to get done. We unboxed two different screen layouts, compared the physical button situation, and she picked the newer/larger style—knowing it replaces the factory controls underneath and pushes some functions into the touchscreen. From there, we pulled the factory radio, dealt with the Tacoma harness differences (and the fact that her truck didn’t match the manual perfectly), and basically “winged it” the way real installs sometimes go. We ran the USB leads, GPS antenna, mic, and even the OBD-II power plug, then stuffed and tied up the wiring so the screen would actually sit right. My takeaway: this upgrade absolutely modernizes the truck—full-screen CarPlay, Android apps, better usability—but it’s not as plug-and-play as people expect. We tested radio, CarPlay, Bluetooth call quality (it was super clear), and even YouTube sync (honestly better than my truck). If you’re thinking about doing this yourself, this shows exactly what you’re getting into.
