Sony XAV-AX5000 - Is it a straight fit into fascia?

[portlester]

Thinking of (finally) replacing the original Toyota head unit with a Sony XAV-AX5000 into my 2006 100 series LC, and am wondering if anyone has already installed one?

In particular interested in whether the unit is a perfect fit, or whether I will need to do a bit of filing around the corners of the fascia to make it fit - I would prefer if I didn't have to. I've attached a photo of the current radio/dash that I have.

I was initially thinking of the Sony XAV-AX100 (which fits perfectly), however this has been updated in Aust and the only remaining stock (along with its updated AX200) I can find is now more expensive than the better spec'd AX5000.

Many thanks

Crutchfield.com lists the ax5000 as a double din, so if the ax100 would fit this should also have no issues

Jealous of the stock configuration. You aren’t in the US are you?

Thanks knewstance.
The photos of the 5000 look like the corners are a bit more squared off than the 100, however there are no floor stock near me to confirm this. Hopefully it's just the photos.

And no brownfox, I'm located in Australia
