If you are thinking of going with an aftermarket HU this might be helpful... Unless you have the big bucks for a worthwile double din or LCD setup.

Just installed last night.

Ive seen worse dash kits.

 

hey... someone put a big hole in your dash. ;)

 

Yep the pocket is worthless.. Dosen't even fit two jewel cases.

 

yep. should of bought the Metra dash kit.

 

Does Metra make a double din kit (for 2 DIN units, that is)? I got the junk AI from crutchfield for free with my head unit, but I'm modifying it for my single did unit now. Eventually, I'll add another single din unti in the form of a DVD player.

 

should be out soon. it trims out the sides so you don't have any gaps. I did a tC with the Kenwood double DIN and I made a trim ring out of ABS and fastened it to the dash. looks good and the door is still functional.

 

Bil, you rock. oh, and the Metra kit is soo much cleaner looking & the pocket is bigger.

 

Blah Metra Tech Support is junk. Said that they haven't developed anything as of yet for a double din on Scions. My D1 looks kinda goofy with a gap on both sides. Maybe I need to call up AI and see what they have.

 

why is that the tech support junk because they didn't have the kit you were looking for? BTW, the part number you want is 95-8202. It's just been released.

many companies don't let their front line people know of developing products because then comsumers will be flooding the phone lines asking "is it ready? is it ready? how about now? how about now?"

 

You know I love Metra Bill :-D Figured it would catch your attention.

THE METRA GUYS ARE GREAT TO WORK WITH!

I know I had talked to I wanna say Colin.. about the one for the 4Runner. Is that it? Thats the side brackets?

 

yep. Colin is my boss. he runs the tech and research depts.
I think the cover photo for the instructions for the brackets will have my xB dash in it. I think we used a JVC or Eclipse radio for the pic.

I guess you called a little while back and he picked up. I was out of the shop I guess when you called.

 

not to jack a thread but...help!!! i have the metra kit now, i have a flip out dvd and i want the cubby hole to be on top and the din slot on the bottom so when my screen is out it doesn't block my instrument panel. is there a kit for that or can i use my existing one and just flip it
