It just looks black in the pic but trust me it matches perfect, it's the one I used when I got my hu installed. Even my installer was surprised with the kit because they didn't know that Toyota made a kit like that.

Default Carson's All the way.....

Bigea,


Trust me get the one from Carson's. I was skeptical at first, but damn if it doesn't look like they started to do a double din radio stock but opted against it. Though it may a bit expensive I'll tell you this, it's well worth it and worth the piece of mind. You can't go wrong.....as "Kanedl25" said my installer said the same thing, he now knows where to get one for future installs. Ask for Luis and tell him Joe sent you........

Keep in mind you won't only use it for navi, you can also watch dvd's, you can play mp3's, it will be an upgrade from the stock hu.

Ive got the BestKits-version now...and what i like about it is the non existant gaps around the unit...dislike the non-oem black finish though

But im considering to try out the oem one anyhow...

I guess for us with the silver/metal dash we don't have any easy options. Here is a pic of the D3 I just put in my car. This is the bestkits version. I figured why shell out $45 for the ltunedparts one when it wont match in color anyhow. Still not sure what I am going to do if anything at all to make it match better. One option would be to get another climate control unit thats black, or just the cover piece for it.
