Replacement Stereo

I got the avh-x3700bhs just needed the wiring harness and the steering wheel control module for hands free calling compatibility

 

Thx. I'll take a look at that one. Where did you purchase everything, including the molding?

 

Got everything at my local best buy. Had then install it took about 2 hours

 

I'm surprised they'd have a molding specific to a Tacoma sitting there. I'll probably get everything from Crutchfield. I'm assuming the would have the molding, right?

 

Crutchfield will probably throw the face plate in for free if you buy the stereo from them. They only have Metra kits though.

 

Metra kits? I don't understand.

 

Read my post in the audio section . I am not saying you have to follow what I am doing , but its going to give you and idea of what is involved .

There are 2 types of dash kits available, Scosche, and Metra. Neither looks exactly like the the stock one, but both are close. I think the Scosche fit/finish look better than the Metra, so That's the one I went with.

Scosche:

 

They have both. They sent me a Metra first and I called them and told them I asked for a Scoche. They sent it for free and told me to keep the other one.

 

They told me they only had Metra when I ordered.

 

Thanks guys. I'll do some more reading. I really appreciate the help, suggestions and feedback.

 

That's what we're here for. To help fellow TW members stimulate the economy.

 

Hmmm guess they quit carrying them then. They had both when I ordered my HU. I ordered a black one and they sent me the gray Metra one first.

 

If I have to get the Scoche kit from somewhere other than Crutchfield, where is a good place to get it?

Thanks everyone.

 

It's hard to tell from the photo, but does the Scosche unit have the texturing? From what I can tell, I'd want to order the
TA2053B, but I can't tell about the texturing.

It doesn't have the texturing.

BTW, check the link I provided. It has the same one for $20
