Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult installation without proper tools to make it fit for the car.

***Update***Two Stars After spending a lot of time following the incomplete instructions - that is, using the parts mentioned - the radio will not fit back into the car. I removed the plastic fenders per the instructions and they fit. If you're having trouble, just skip these parts and see if they fit. I spent a lot of time thinking that they are necessary.****Original****One star.This product is difficult to prepare for a car. This requires cutting through brittle plastic that has no nicks to break (only marked for cutting), which requires precision not to break more than desired (which happened). Live for a light break. The instructions don't stop with putting it back in the car radio mount, although you have to discard 2 factory pieces which doesn't really complete the instructions. After tediously trying to cut out the correct pieces, at the very end it cracked much further than I wanted and the necessary piece broke off. Of course, this product is the most difficult part of the process. It takes more time than removing the fairing, radio and air conditioning, dismantling the old radio, connecting new cables. It's all a lot faster, mostly because it doesn't tell you how to reconnect it because this product doesn't fit the factory mounts which I assume we use because the instructions tell me I do to find part of it. This last step of combining with this product is not listed in the instructions. In general, it does not fit the 2006 Highlander.
