Chinese Toyota Speciality Double Din Stereos
I've been shopping around on the internet looking for a alternative to the double din all screen stereos. I stumbled across this site:
http://www.chinadvdgps.com/toyota-dvd-gps.html
Call me crazy but, I would like a after market factory looking radio. The Pioneer AVIC looks great but, it has too much screen real estate. Ideally I would like a few hard buttons to compliment the touch screen. Similar to this one:
http://www.autodvdgps.com/index.php?...roducts_id=232
Does anyone have any experience with opening size of a Corolla or Landcruser?
thx,
Jack

Assuming it would fit in the GS it would be a nice looking alternative.

The stereo will require a stereo install kit. Something like this, and it will need to be modified.

The first kit is interesting because the picture shows the climate controls reorientated.
I will venture down to the Toyota dealership to measure the Corolla's dash opening.

HOW DO I KNOW?
BECAUSE THAT'S MY CUSTOM INSTALL THAT I DESIGNED, FABRICATED AND POSTED ON THE FORUMS OVER 5 YEARS AGO ! ! !
Now that I have your attention, I have contacted E-Bay about this seller weeks ago and still nothing has been done.
The 2GS is 10+ years old, and we have been posting for umpteen years, on where to find DIN kits that fit and look good.
Learn how to DO A SEARCH and you will find all sorts of info.

^RMM i remember seeing ur install, that ebay seller is a dumba55 and shouldnt even be selling DD kits if he doesnt even know where they fit since urs is custom and above the ac controls and that kit hes trying to sell is just a regular DD kit

That's pretty sad, because once a buyer gets their hands on that kit, they will be sad to find out it's nothing like the picture. And that is a picture of RMMGS4's dash. I'd like to see them replicate the reverse HVAC controls with the headunit.
