there's isn't a "kit" for the SC. you can choose to make a plate out of ABS plastic or purchase a pocket that will go either under or over your single DIN deck. those can be found at like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.

that one was a long time ago and talking to one of the members who bought one, he didn't care for it too much.

just get the pocket, and then make a small addition to it using a strip of ABS plastic.

something like this:

I just don't like the fit of universal pockets, nor the texture of the cheap abs sheets. I bought a lexus to get away from a "cheap" interior.

With a little bit of time and effort, you can whip up somthing like this (or I can make it for you if you want).

That would be awesome!! How much would you charge? I have that exact XM radio setup but do not know if i will be using that that though?! What else can you put there?? Can you make me something custom? Maybe we can talk over the phone or something?! I am interested and i will pay!! So let me know ASAP!!! Thanks, Dan.

Do you think a NAV system like Tom-tom would fit and work good in there??

I can make anything your heart desires, and your wallet. Not sure it a Tom Tom would fit there, are you talking the go 300 or 700? Its a bit thicker than the Commander, and taller. I'll get specs while I'm at work today. You can email me at Justin.Stanley@earthlink.net so we can talk about this further. Or IM me at BoostinTSiawd on AIM when I'm around.

you got both the red and yellow attached to the correct wires? grounded the black somewhere, usually on the side of the metal piece that you screw the deck to. this happened to me because there are two grey wires in there right next to each other, make sure you have the correct one.

I actually think i did it wrong period!! I have read that there is no wiring harness for the sc300/400 and that you have to hard wire it?! So i need the wiring diagram to hardwire it!!

err...so is there a wiring harness for the SC3/4 that I need to get? I'm having it installed over the weekend, and should probably pick it up if I need one......
