(More customer reviews)This worked perfectly in my 2005 Toyota Corolla. It goes right with the car and makes the radio look perfect. It puts a 1-DIN radio in a 2-DIN space, and bevels right with the Toyota design making it look kind of like an original design rather than an add-on. The only thing that I would have added to their design if I had had the chance is instructions for the car model it is designed for. While it is easy to find various versions of directions for the Toyota Corolla on the internet, there is no way to know the quality of the instructions you find. The radio that I bought had a service for looking up various car models' directions online, but then, in the end, that database was incomplete, and I had to rely on one of the high school kid's postings found with Google. Since this dash kit is made specificially for that car model, this is the most logical part with which to include the directions. Oh, by the way, I will give you the directions, here:
Disconnect the battery just to be extra safe. (Some people cite airbag accidental release problems, but I do not think that that is a risk.) Carefully pry off the shifter cover. It takes only steady pressure. Disconnect the cigarette lighter/charger to get the panel out of the way. Remove the center A/C knob, and remove the screw. Then pry off the clock A/C cover. Again, slow steady pressure. Pry off the radio cover. You guessed it: slow steady pressure. The radio is secured with 4 hex screws, 10mm if I recall correctly. They are deep, so you need a long hex driver (and maybe a magnet). They fall and get lost easily. If they do, you might be able to find them on the carpet or by reaching back around things.
The dash kit comes with instructions for mounting it on the radio. You should strongly consider a wire harness Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker. It makes it easy to disconnect the radio, later. After the radio is tested, reverse the operations, above. Good luck!
