That item will work but I suggest you find somebody to paint it first because it will not match color-wise. Others have had the part fabricated for the same price as the black faceplate+paint.

I finished this project today.

Items used:
1. $50 Dash insert off ebay see my previous inquiry page 1.
2. TYTO-01 Wiring Harness- this harness requires the head unit to have front and rear preamp RCA outputs
3. DDX418 Kenwood Unit- fit perfectly into the stock brackets and has the required RCA preamp outputs. Bluetooth talk feature of this unit is garbage...even with the installed mic. Grounded the parking brake wire to bypass the DVD restrictions. No need to install a relay.

4. Axxcess ASWC steering wheel control unit
5. Metra 70-8114 Toyota harness- used this because it allows use of the ASWC with ZERO cutting into factory wires.
I had to MANUALLY program the ASWC.. the unit thought the kenwood was a JVC (which it probably is since they merged in 2008) took me about 4 hours to figure that out. By far the hardest part of the build. What is extremely difficult is that the ASWC unit uses flashing LEDs to identify various things ie... 7 short flashes then a two second pause....one long.... means the unit has detected the radio..... try watching the leds while reading the instructions!!! it gets extremely confusing to program.... over 20 steps.

Overall VERY happy with the black bezel off ebay. It matches the vents. I'm too cheap to have it painted. I have to say that I love it over the stock unit... makes my 2003 feel like a 2012.

That's the cleanest aftermarket install I've seen for the GX, well done! Did you also replace all speakers etc? Details please.

They are an ebay seller. I just looked at what they are currently offering and they did not have the kit. You may want to contact them to see if they can get more or where it came from. It was $129 and was purchased March 2010. The one you are looking at appears to be similar.

Desolate: just saw your post after I posted about the install kit. Looks great and glad you got what you wanted

Can someone please post of pics of their wiring harness and plugs on the non-nav climate control? I am currently attempting to upgrade the stock nav to aftermarket, but I have an issue with my current plugs not fitting into the non-nav climate control.

Is anyone currently having success installing an after market stero/nav/back up cam system in a GX470?

There are plenty of navi / wheel threads on this site...you just have to find them.

Take 5 mins and see what you find on google.
