why not just buy an after market one? and which Scion radio are you talking about? the pioneer one?

i dont like the look of aftermarket, this is the one i am looking to get, this guy put his in a 4runner, he said for the 4runner it was plug and play, but idk about a 2000 ES

try to look up the wiring harness for the scion and for the es and see if they are the same... if they are then it should just be plug and play.. the only thing you might have a problem with is the factory amp... but not too sure

You don't like the look of the aftermarket one, but you like the look of THAT? Silver buttons and a backlight that doesn't match the green on the ES?

It won't be a direct swap, as it will not directly slide into the stock ES tray. Additionally, the face plate won't fill up the space covered by the stock radio unit, so you'll need some sort of shield or else you'll be staring back into your wiring components.

IMO, it'll look really tacky. I'm sure you can find an aftermarket system you like better - what about one of the ones with widescreen navigation? Those should come with mp3 playback/storage, and it'd look much better than a cheap radio from a cheap car.

i would probably have to agree^^^^

if you got some cash to spend then you cant go wrong with a double din... i know mine is a little differant from your year but it would kindof look like this i guess..


it fits nice and depending on what you buy you could change colors of your choice. have dvd, navigation, aux. anything you want pretty much all in one.. and plus it improves the sound of your factory speakers too..

a big reason i wanted to keep a stock look and not go after market is becuase alotta people break into cars in my area, dont feel like spending $500 on a stereo and getting it stolen overnight, i def dont need any of that other bs, a double din that doesnt look like a circus of diff color lights would be nice

How about this one.. not too fancy.. plays mp3 cds. cheap. Has the newer stock radio look. check it.

i actually just saw that the other day, i did a little research, i think im going to buy it , you know the best source to get these for the cheapest?

AMAlex

Glad you are thinking of something else, I don't like the look of that scion radio, let alone in an ES

just google Sirius and iPod integration for your car. You can keep the good look of factory and have your goodies stashed behind the radio.

yeh might as well get something with a gps or tv tuner at least if u prefer those features if ur gonna spend that cheese

Does that best buy one have green lighting as an option? trust me, it looks pretty weird to have green a/c switches, and blue radio switches.

i dont want gps, or a tv tuner, i dont want anything flashy, about the green option, im not really sure
