plus having a double din screen wont block the ac controls, ac vents, etc. Just more stock looking when its flush.I did a quick video of it a while back if you want to see what it looks like from the Eclipse HU(right click save as here) .

All the way open

It looks like there's two CD slots, one for the NAV CD, and one for the regular CD, so you don't have to switch back and forth all the time. Cool.
And I like the rear view keyhole camera too.
That's a nice all around unit.
But I have to save for the headunit, and also the CD changer, and amp upgrade, AND speaker upgrade. Gets expensive fast.
Looks like I will have to wait a while. Luckily my stock unit sounds plenty good to me tho (with a little added bass and highs). But I'll add the entire stereo upgrade to my 2006 wishlist. I'm done now for all major 2005 mods.

Ok, here's my question.....I just installed my Kenwood double din monitor today using the Toyota double din panel. Will the trim ring with that kit work on the Toyota double din piece? Im assuming that it will, but I would prefer to get feedback from someone that has done it before I spend $30 for nothing. I will not use the other kit, the Toyota part is money......exact color match, etc..

Good catch

2) I have that problem with mine as well, although not as bad as I used to be. Next time in I'm doing a grounding kit and adding some additional filters. Make sure the satellite wiring is physically as far from the FM antenna input as you can.
Also - it was very easy, I just signed the credit card receipt for my installer to do it. Yes, the in-dash still works. I use that for an MP3 loaded disk and the glovebox for 'real' CDs.

I wanted to ask you another question about sound - do you think additional speakers are a good idea or do you think the factory speakers will be OK (after adding an amp, of course). I don't blast my music much but do want to retain the way the sound system sounded before I modded the inside. The last piece is that dash kit....man, it looks ugly right now with the gaps all around it, but the pics of your inside with the right trim look unbelievably nice...
.'Additional speakers' no, just replace the OEM ones with better speakers.
