Just use the factory front panel mounts.

Works best when using only factory mounts for the head unit and only needed when replacing a head unit with buttons on both sides of the screen. If you don't need to replace that stock head unit then you don't even need it as a standard dual din will usually fit right into a Toyota.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Will be added later

Supplied without screws which should be included

The bracket is supplied in an open bag without screws. I have to install it loosely with some screws I found elsewhere. Also, the side plate is too thick for the screws that came with my head unit so I had to use an OEM plate that doesn't really fit. This mount seems to work but with a lot of problems and you can't get everything out of it.

Pros
  • Car Accessory
Cons
  • Doubtful

An annoying build required. Required parts are not included. Trimming leaves a noticeable gap.

This requires a cumbersome build volume so that Metra can save on packaging. Does not include trim clips or radio screws. Very flimsy plastic mounts. The processing goes well with the interior, but does not form a good framework for a two-DIN radio. Leaves approximately 1.5mm clearance around the radio. The interior of the dashboard is visible through the slot. I feel stupid paying for it as it's usually a freebie from other sites. I want to keep the bag it came in so I can return it. In this…

Pros
  • Car AV installation
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
