Just bought today.

Just purchased an 05 GX470 with 129,000 miles today. Timing belt was replaced at 127,000 miles, it’s charcoal on the outside and black on the inside. Non-Navigation, and no KDSS as well! Looking forward to building this into a nice expo rig, but I’m enjoying the quiet and smooth ride right now just as much!

You have a half unicorn. If you go the sport trim you would have a full unicorn. Welcome to the family! Looked like you made a good choice!

Does it really have the ML sound system?

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have that. I didn’t care. I got it for 12k, and the fact it is the non-navigation version is a huge factor. I didn’t want the KDSS, so this ends up being a perfect fit for me.

I had non-nav and ML on my 2003...but I ripped all the out and put in alpine and JL audio and it is sooo much better!

What are the non-nav options for dash unit? Will any double din unit work? Looking at this: http://a.co/62d7u3z

I would recommend the large Adroid head units so that the screen takes up the entire space that the stock head unit leaves behind. I don't have the model numbers for it as I haven't done the swap yet but this is my plan. Plus they come in for a little less then the one you are looking at on Amazon.
With the one you are referencing you will need a trim kit either from Amazon for like $10 plus a toyota harness or you can get the Beat Sonic trim kit with wire harness for a crazy high price. And both are black trim and do not match the nice silver trim of your center console.

It looks similar to this

I got my '04 from those guys two years ago. I did not expect to buy from a dealer, but for the price and condition I couldn't say no. Amazing how overlooked the GX is...
