So I spent some time this weekend taking apart my dash and installing a new head unit. I've been looking for something to replace my old crappy stereo for some time and came close a few times with a couple options (kenwood NAV, pioneer app radio etc.) but none of them quite fit my ecosystem until this unit came alone.
Took apart the dash following instructions from other posts on here. Very straight forward, just a handful of screws and then gently pry the pieces off. The 2 units the were mounted by the PO were using the factory (assuming) mounting bracket and I had to re-use that as the standard double din mounting options that came with the new unit would not work.
I'm in Canada but ordered from Sonic Electronix, very smooth transaction and they even give you an all in price including customs. Also got the Toyota wiring harness for free.
Install was pretty straight forward with a couple hiccups due to the previous owners wiring. Only thing remaining to be done is to run the wiring for and install a backup camera as well as run wiring for and install an amp/subwoofer combo (whole hog tech maybe?).
On to the pics. If anyone has any questions about the wiring/install let me know and I'll be happy to help.
