“It even came with instructions with pictures and descriptions for installing. Just find which harness adapter worked and plug and play.”
Pick the Right Screen for Your Tacoma
On 2005-2015 trucks you pick; from 2016 on, the Premium is the one that fits. Both run Android 13 with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and we configure yours before it ships.
Standard
The core upgrade for the first-generation dash — a modern 12.1" screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and every factory function carrying over.
Premium
The larger, sharper panel — and the only screen for 2016-2023 trucks. Sized to your year, with the same wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and full factory integration.
A new Toyota Tacoma runs $30,000+.
Making yours feel brand-new starts at $1,299.
Your Truck Finally Feels Modern
in the Moments You Actually Drive It
Your Tacoma still does everything you ask of it. The screen is the one part that gives away its age. Upgrade it, and the whole cab feels current again, cleaner, more premium, and easier to live with every day.
Before
Stock head unit
No CarPlay. Tiny screen. Gives away the age.
After
Merge Screen: Premium 13.8"/14"
The interior your Tacoma should have come with.

“This is not a tablet stuck to your dash. It is the interior your Tacoma should have come with.”
Upgrade the Screen.
Keep the Truck.
The biggest fear with a screen swap is losing the factory features you rely on. With Merge Screens, you do not have to choose. The new display is built to work with your Tacoma, not fight it.
Your factory audio system — Entune, where fitted — stays intact, and the factory harness is never cut or spliced: the new screen plugs into what is already there. Physical climate controls, steering wheel controls and your backup camera keep working exactly as they do today.

Technical & Compatibility Details
Every Question,
Answered Honestly
Yes — if your year is listed on this page, the screen is compatible with virtually every configuration (see every supported trim under Vehicle Compatibility in the Technical Details section). What we do before shipping is adapt it to your truck: harness and software configured to your exact year, trim, and factory options.
No — that's the core of the design. Your backup camera, steering wheel controls, your original physical climate controls, heated and cooled seats where fitted, and your factory or aftermarket sound system all keep working. XM continues through the app, your Entune system stays intact where fitted, and nothing is cut or spliced.
Most owners install it in 60-90 minutes. It's plug-and-play with the factory harness — no cutting, no splicing — and you get step-by-step instructions, a full install video, and 1-on-1 video-call support, free.
Use our certified installer network — enter your ZIP and we'll match you with a shop, with the install capped at $350-$450 when we schedule it. Or book White Glove ($799 flat) and a certified installer comes to your home.
We spend 3-4 days configuring and testing it for your exact truck — including a 24-hour test run — then it ships free via UPS with tracking (5-7 days). Most orders arrive 9-12 days after ordering. Need it faster? Call us and we'll see what we can do.
Yes — CarPlay and Android Auto are built into every screen (wired). Prefer wireless? Add the wireless upgrade in one click right after you hit Add to Cart — you'll see the option in the popup.
Your factory backup camera works exactly like stock — on a much bigger display. You can also add aftermarket cameras (a reverse camera, a front camera, or a USB dash cam) if your truck did not come with them.
Three options: your phone's hotspot, your truck's Wi-Fi, or a SIM card in the screen's own slot. SiriusXM keeps working through the built-in app with your existing subscription — it needs an internet connection, or you can add a SiriusXM Commander module instead.
Yes — factory, premium and aftermarket setups are all supported. 4-channel RCA outputs and a subwoofer output are built in, so amps and subwoofers connect directly. Tell us your setup and we'll confirm before you buy.
Live help by email, phone, chat, or video call — with a real tech on a video call whenever you need one, same day during business hours. And if it truly can't be made to work on your truck, we've got you — the return's on us to handle.
Our 90-Day Test Drive guarantee: try it on your truck, return it if it's not right. Plus a 1-year warranty on the hardware, lifetime free software updates, and live tech support — a real tech on a video call whenever you need one — for as long as you own it.
Yes — pay over time with Shop Pay Installments at checkout. For this price range that's a simple monthly plan; you'll see the exact terms before you pay.
Every Tacoma from 2005 to 2023, all trims — Base, PreRunner, SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, X-Runner and Limited. On 2005-2015 trucks you choose between the 12.1" Standard ($1,299) and the Premium ($1,399); from 2016 to 2023 the Premium is the one that fits. The full trim-by-trim list is under Vehicle Compatibility in the Technical Details above.
It depends on your year. 2005-2015: either the 12.1" Standard at $1,299 or the Premium 13.8"/14" at $1,399 — your call. 2016-2023: the Premium 13.8" at $1,399, the only screen for those years. Pick your year in the selector and only the screens that actually fit stay available.
Because that is the only screen built for the second-generation dash. The 12.1" Standard is made for the 2005-2015 cabin and does not fit a 2016 or newer truck, so the selector turns it off as soon as you pick one of those years. Nothing is missing from the Premium — it is the larger and sharper of the two.
Yes. Your original Entune system stays intact where fitted, and the factory backup camera keeps working exactly like stock — on a much bigger display. Factory, premium and aftermarket sound systems are all supported, and 4-channel RCA plus a subwoofer output are built in for amps.
Yes — each screen comes with a trim bezel designed for your Tacoma's dash. No gaps, no tablet-stuck-on-dash look. Most people assume it's a factory upgrade.
Your Tacoma. Upgraded.
Join the Tacoma owners who've already made the switch. Configured for your exact truck before it ships — and covered by the 90-Day Test Drive guarantee.
