Default Which stereo head unit will work in my car?

Hey guys, I was just looking to upgrade my stereo head unit on my 2002 LS430 (Non-Mark levinson/nav) But I'm not sure what will work/fit. I would like to have a screen to replace the old head unit. What should I get? How much will it cost? Where should I get it?

P.S.- Does anyone know anything about those wood trim dash kits for the center console? They look pretty awesome but I'm a little edgy about buying aftermarket stuff for my car. Thanks a ton!

Almost any headunit will work in your car. As for a good install kit with faceplate and wiring, see link.

You might want to give the guys at beatsonic a call maybe they have some recommendations for systems that integrate well with their interface.

They have different option depending if you want it to match your wood and whether or not you have single or double din. It's seems to be the general consensus on this forum that most guys run double din flush mount screens. Many companies out there carry such radios like Pioneer and Alpine to name a couple. Just see what the best bang for your buck is.

Here is a great example of one installed.

They're all out of the burgundy wood (darker wood option).
