I'll take one as well when you get more made. Lucky for me I use the same tablet and mount so I'm mostly there!

Gotcha, thanks!It can be done just know that the tape deck isn't a straight shot out. You'll need to either bend or weld your plate.
I made a phone holder as well using nnnnate's write up. It works really well and best of all it makes use of the obsolete tape deck. Kudos to Owl Expedition for making this available to Mud members. The 35 or 45 he is charging (cant remember his price and I'm on my phone) is a great deal, especially considering you need to incorporate a small rise off the plate and out the tape deck opening.
Opening up the front console and getting to the tape deck is a little invasive but it's not that difficult. I'd only caution about hanging or levering too much weight off the tape deck mount. The screws and mounting posts that hold it in place are tiny. When I add my tablet to my setup, I am going to support everything with another attachment point, likely the seat rail....

Nice work. I wonder if this would fit the wife's 2001 RX300. It's NAV has made improving the AV experience impossible.
Does the tape deck look the same as the 03+ LC/LX one? It's hard to say what eles this would fit since it actually screws into the deck, as opposed to a universal fit. I'd rather a universal fit, but there would be no way to get the strength.
I'll definitely be getting these laser cut since the interest is there.
I'm really, really hoping that by the end of August I will have my website going and will have these and the puddle lights in stock to purchase. Maybe a few other goodies too.
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![]()
