The Tundra is a full-size truck sold by Toyota Motor Corporation since 1999, when it replaced the Toyota T-100. Installing a new CD player in your Tundra requires taking off a portion of the interior dash panel. Learn to install a new CD player in your Tundra, whether you are replacing a broken unit or trying to upgrade stereo quality...#

Gather all materials and make sure your work space has adequate lighting. Installing a new CD player will take approximately 30 minutes, so make sure you have ample time. If you are installing an aftermarket CD player, you will need a dash installation kit to mount the player. You will also need a wiring harness to hook up the CD player. If you are installing another factory CD player, you will not need these items.
