Dashboard navigation

Perfect for my Lexus Rx. It also comes with a resistor that you need to connect to the factory wires so you can use the air conditioner controller. after installing a new radio. In all Lexus wisdom, Lexus chose to wirelessly control its air conditioning. So if your air conditioner isn't working, here's why.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Cable shorter than others

Fits perfectly! on Car & Vehicle Electronics

When my Lexus stereo started throwing errors 3 and 4, I realized that replacing the stereo was only a matter of time. This handy bracket allows you to mount modern dual din head units while maintaining the seamless look of that era's silver factory console. The kit included a dash, standard socket and brackets, the fit was perfect and the head unit also fitted perfectly into the bracket area.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Weight

Perfect for: Car & vehicle electronics

Perfect for 2009 RX 350 without Levinson sound pack and without factory navigation. We highly recommend purchasing wmetra accessories and a Maestro recommended kit to keep your factory JBL amp and steering controller. In combination with the Pioneer AVH 2550NEX Apple Carplay, the sound quality is amazing. Spend the extra money on Metra and Meastro parts and you'll save a lot on installation costs after you've sold the subwoofer and amp and amp for the new receiver.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Would buy again.

fits perfectly. The color doesn't quite match, but it's quite appropriate for a 15 year old car. This is on a 2005 RX330. If you are replacing your stereo, you MUST purchase a stereo wiring harness, steering wheel control wiring harness and parking brake override wiring harness. Without all three of these elements, you won't earn properly. PS, don't lose the 68 ohm resistor when you open the box. I had to go to Radio Shack (yes they're still here) to replace the one I seemed to have lost.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great fit, finish and price!

Purchased for my rx330 with Avh-x5800h dual din pioneer. It didn't look like it would fit, but once the head unit was installed in the car, the pad snapped into place perfectly. I bought a Beat-Sonic before I bought it, but after learning more I decided to buy this meter kit and saved about $200 by returning the Beat-Sonic. I also bought metra wiring harnesses for my car and everything works including the steering wheel controls. I'm not exactly sure what I would have achieved by choosing Beatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Perfect color match for RX330 and fits Pioneer Double Din

I have a 2004 Lexus RX330 with standard JBL stereo and it fits Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS 7 inch double din perfectly. The bezel only covers the screen portion of the double din and no other surrounding parts (not even the tiny thin bezel behind the screen on my Pioneer). This gave just the perfect amount of room for the screen to extend all the way down without the bezel The double DIN is aligned with the mounting brackets in such a way that the radio is tilted upwards after it has been screwed onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Minor issues

All in all a good car and car electronics kit

I installed this dash kit on my '08 Lexus RX 350. Be sure to remove the yellow plastic springs from the factory radio and transfer them to the installation kit, this will prevent very slight rattling while driving. 2 Most Android head units are about 1-2mm wider and 1-2mm higher than the hole in the kit. (Dremmel is your friend). 3 The center section under the heater controls expands like a shelf where it used to be flat with the front, just a small detail that I think would have earned 5โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price

Perfect color match for RX330 and fits Pioneer Double Din

I have a 2004 Lexus RX330 with standard JBL stereo and it matches Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS 7 inch Double Din perfectly. This bezel only covers the double din screen portion and no other surrounding parts (not even the tiny thin bezel behind the screen on my Pioneer). This gave the perfect amount of room to fully tilt the screen down without a bezel. or touch the stereo. We advise you to ensure that the Doppeldyne is aligned with the mounting brackets in such a way that the stereo is tilted upwardsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price

In general, the kit is good - car video

I installed this dashboard kit on my Lexus RX 350 08. It matches the brackets, a few notes on something not mentioned in the install guide: transfer them to the install kit, this will prevent a very slight knock when riding. 2 Most Android head units are about 1-2mm wider and 1-2mm higher than the hole in the kit. (Dremmel is your friend). 3 The center section under the heater controls expands like a shelf where it used to be flat with the front, just a small detail that I think would haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
