I'm having the 03+ laser cut now. I'm hoping to tear into a friend's 2002 soon and see if they are the same. If not I'll make a different brackets for the 98-02. Please hang tight

I just fitted the plate in to my 2006 100 Series - unfortunately a little more annoying than on the earlier (or Lexus?) vehicles.
First the left and right vents are removed, then the four screws holding in the dash unit (which comes out in one piece - display, buttons, cassette, etc.). Then more screws to remove the frame pieces and finally four screws holding the cassette deck in the fascia. The plate itself fits fine. I could grab some photos if anyone would like to see, it's straightforward though, just need to follow your nose. Putting it back in can wait for another night
I ran into the same thing on my '04 non-lexus, a few more steps (aka screws) and took a bit longer than expected but overall a
job and the plate fit fine. Didn't take pics of the guts but will post final product soon.Glad to hear it wasn't just me making it complicated, though!

Sounds like I'll need to find a Toyota variant to tear into and make separate directions. Glad the plate still fit though!
It's different. I'll grab some photos for you when I go to put it all back.
Got mine installed today, pretty straight forward. It's a little intimidating taking out the MFD. Now I'm waiting on the Ram ball from Amazon. While I was in there I got a Vais SLB-3 installed as well. Pretty excited about finishing this project. I'll take pics when it's complete.

Glad to hear nobody is having issues with the install.
I just got word today from my laser cutter that 20 are done. Once I receive and have a chance to paint them, I'll update my website and they will go on sale officially.
Stay tuned!
Done
Not sure why the imagine won't post and only shows as an attachment.

Now I see the slight difference in the LC vs. LX radios. It appears the LC has a slightly recessed radio compared to the lx. Is the ball close to hitting the trim piece?
That is more picture angle than anything, I think it fits fine.

No such thing as a stupid question!
They're not for sale yet. I sold the first 5 I made by hand at a discounted price to make sure my prototype didn't have any fitment issues.
I had 20 of these laser cut and they are in the mail now. My website is inactive now, but once I'm ready to ship them, I'll reactivate my site and they will be for sale on there.
My website will be owlexpedition.com
I'll update this thread announcing when they are officially for sale.
Thanks!

Just got a package from the laser cutter. They came out fantastic. Hope to have them for sale by the end of this weekend.
Keep an eye out if youre interested. I don't anticipate all 20 going super fast, but you never know.

Need it.
I'm in!! Please put me down for one.
I'm also going to take the addition step to install a Vais SLB-3. I have gone long enough without being able to stream music.
Oh man! Can't wait!
I need this!! Put me on the list when they are ready for purchase. THX. Ordered Vais SLB-T yesterday.
