10 inch Hikity Android.
So I asked Hikity via Amazon for pics of their 10inch Android installed from the side

Cuz i know ot is oversized for the width of our consoles.

They didnt have any available and asked that they send me a returned unit to try out, if i would do the pics etc.
I am on the third day at about 4 hrs per day.
The unit and features and other options, i will get to but look at the fit. There is still some tidying up to do but i took out a Pioneer AVH390 and put in the Hikity.
When its done, ill do a write up in a seperate post. Heck i think i started a thread on 10.1 or 10 inch Android. Anyway heres todays. What i did..


Tidying up at ashtray to be done. Rhd Aristo so boost controller etc in lieu of or in ashtray

So i mounted just touching the outer edge of console. Probably shpuld leave a gap. Still fiddling but secure.



The depth leaves space behind unlike traditional double dins. So wires and control boxes for like sdcid or defi gauges have accomodation space

How I left it this pm

the ashtray or ashtray surround (escuthcheon&#129315 will hide the wires seen at the bottom

Cool I am helping my buddy get this done in his GS. I suggest extending the climate control unit harness and move it down above the ashtray. That will give you more room to install the screen and have it higher up.
Keep up posted on you progress.

The problem with the CC is the panel is too wide for the bottom.
The console gets to 215mm at the bottom of the double din area while the CC panel that oem has on top os about 230mm.
i saw some pics of GS with control below but thats for another time.
i will finidh the install on Fri pm EST

Package from Japan came in, and spent a couple days trying to film and install the Clazzio seat covers.

Yes, at least mine is. Just like the Tom’s, C-One, TRD, and TTE are identical. Hell, the TOMs, C-One, and TRD even come in Toyota boxes!

Default Got her Lowered

Been wanting to lower the car for a while now. Used megan coilovers. Also deleted the mufflers. I have a fully adjustable rear end so alignment was pretty simple. Here is a before and after pic.

Minor correction, the TTE grille is not the same as the Tom's/TRD grille. It has a thicker bezel with no steps in it.

This CL user's Aristo has genuine TTE lip and grille:

So much better. Larger wheels really emphasize the phenomenal amount of wheel gap these cars had from the factory.
