    I was thinking of upgrading the head unit in my 2003 DC. I would like to see some pictures of installations in 1st Gen Tacos. Equipment suggestions would be helpful too. Thinking of a Nav system.

    i think a lot of people have replaced their stock head unit with some head unit out of a scion (i forget which ones fit) but they are a better HU + they have color change displays and mp3 and aux capability

    I have a pioneer avic F series in mine. If it ever stops raining here I'll try to get pictures.
    I'd say that it has everything you could want. AM / FM / CD / IPod controller / USB port, options for HD Radio / XM / Serius Will play WMA, MP3's from either the cd player or from a USB flash drive or the SD card slot, AVI Video. Has navigation, bluetooth and voice recognition.
    With some hacking, it will also alert for speed and red light cameras. Has a speeding warning thing too (thank god you can turn it off).

    All in all a great system to me. Install was a breeze (to me) took about an hour to do.
