Very nice install.

Where did you get the trim panel to cover up the gap around the head unit? I didn't get that piece when I ordered the dash kit from Carson Toyota.

Thanks

Nice, I like the look of your nav screen better than the flip out models. Looks almost OEM.

I breifly saw your nav system at Lexfest and it looked so awesome. It looks very OEM as the surrounding section matched the rest of the dash very well!

Very good choice of components too. I wish I had checked out the rest of your system when I was there.

Thanx for the positive feedback guys..Ill try to answer everyone in order..

ALEXUSOFTIME...Actually the manufacturer reccomends this setup.I thought my installer had lost it when he told me where he was putting these but it sounds wicked and he tuned it with an RTA..Not seen in picture is the 6in mounted in the stocl location..

DJFERGI...I bought the install kit from buy.com.Cost...$8..If you want PM me and Ill try to find the part#from my invoice..It is the entire surround you see there plus the L.R brackets which are adjustable so you can line it up with the beveled part.It had to be filed so the panel could open and close..Real easy..

GS300Rich....LMFAO..


Hameed...Good meeting you,any questions..feel free to ask

s6arface..Believe it or not this system got finished Friday nite around midnite before Lexfest..The Nav system got a good workout around B-more and I tinkered a little with the audio..So far I love it and the more I learn it seems theres more to learn about it..Extremely Versatile..

Again Thanx to all for the feedback and compliments...

Install credits go to....Bill and Scott @ Sounds Impossible in Highlands NJ..
