Wiring took under an hour for everything, basic drill bits were enough to get me through everything and fit cables.

The metra kit looks good, measurements are off though, can’t fit a 7 inch screen which they claim to do.... as you can see it’s not flush with the mount, but i can live with it.
but definitely have to drill your own holes in the mount depending on the stereo you get. Ended up braking the cheap Toyota vents which was a downside.




Some old 12s I have

I had some help from the old man on that one... had to basically test each connection to see what powered what and then crimp together..... I can post pics later I plan to install back up camera.
