Default factory radio mounts

I bought a hu which I was lead to beleive was from an xB, however, it turned out to be from a tc....the hu is fine, but I need the mounting brackets that come on an xb one....anyone have any they would part with, or know where I could get some?

I found a double din dash kit that crutchfield says fits, but it doesnt look like it fits to me.

Thanks!

Don't have an extra set of brackets...sorry. Regardless, the dash kit that you linked to at Crutchfiled is NOT what you are looking for. Those are trim pieces that fill out the sides of the not-quite-wide-enough aftermarket double-din HU. Look at the pic in my profile to see what I mean.

I checked metras website, cant find one to adapt the factory radio...all they make that is double din is a trim kit, so far as I can tell....

other option is to check my metra kit I have for single din...I think the actual mount bracket snapped on to it, so I may be able to just drill holes....

If you are trying to mount a standard Scion/Proneer Head Unit in your xB, the brackets used in the tC are similar to those used on the xB. The left and right brackets mount directly on the side of the HU. (Four mounting points). I think to do it properly you will have to get a set of brackets for the xB from your Scion Dealer.

Well, I checked out my metra kit, and I can modify it to mount the factory hu...just have to drill some holes (making sure its in the right position)....thanks all for your advice!

if that doesnt work, ill check with the scion dealer..the could probably hook me up
