Review on Scosche TA2111BPB: ISO Double DIN & DIN+Pocket Dash πŸ“± Kit for 2012-15 Toyota Tacoma, Black Pearl - Improved SEO by Raymond Gray

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good but not impressed.

The edge looks great. The gloss color isn't 100% like the 2012+ Tacoma OEM Black Trim, but it's pretty close. I am 99% sure that the Toyota Black Sand Pearl paint is the closest color to an OEM environment if not the color Toyota painted it with. In terms of quality, Scosche is mixed. The upper part of the bezel does not perfectly match the dashboard. I still see the edge of the surround sound. Clamps are not perfectly tight like OEM. The mounting screws that attach the radio mounts to the plastic frame are too thin. If the screw doesn't go in quite straight, they'll break immediately. The radio mounts are very thin and the legs bend easily, so be careful. I'm also convinced that the bottom of the plastic bezel is actually lower than the OEM bezel, but that doesn't matter. The location where the airbag/clock/alarm module is located is painted black like the surround, not the matte color like the OEM. Personal preference and I know from photos of the items I can handle it. The paint also scratches EXTREMELY easily. Not as durable as factory paint. I need to get some wipe paste and clean a few spots. I went with this surround sound because apparently the competing version is terrible. I can complete how awful it must be if Scosche is a 3/5 star in my opinion.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
