xb2 Stereo install information
I noticed the plugs on the Gen1 stereo and the xB2 were the same. Yes, that's right. The same wiring kit is used for both vehicles. So I yanked the cheap DVD deck out of the Gen1 tonight and decided to put it into the xB2. Everything was pretty straight forward.
The only trouble I had was that part of the side pieces that come with the Metra kit I had to cut them off to fit onto the double DIN bracket. It all fit pretty good... So you can use the old Metra install kit even, you just need to trim off a corner of the bracket (real easy and not cosmetic).
Here is a picture of the Gen1 stereo on top of the xB2 deck.

They just need to be programmed for the type of car and a few wires need to be hooked up.

Ive done a bunch of D3s in the new xBs as well as my car with Ipod, Blue Tooth, Satellite Radio, SteeringWheel Controls and all works great and looks great.
The Metra kit is a little ehh.. The Toyota kit which metra copied fits better parts numbers are at the dealership

So basically what you're saying is, the 2008 xB headunits would fit in a 2006 xB?
