    Except the Mercedes looks nothing like this. The Mercedes is flush with the front of the dash, giving a large screen but a smooth look. The pics above just look like a cheap tablet mount stuck to the dash and sticking out a few inches. No thanks.

    except, again, the display doesn't hang off of the front of the dash, it's set back into it. The one above sticks OUT from the dash.

    It doesn't set as far back in the dash as the picture makes it appear but, I like them both. I guess its just a personal preference thing.

    This is giving me an idea for 3D printing a shroud. Can remove the current two plastic covers to click on to to hold it. Maybe if I have time.

    Some reason you keep posting pics? I see the RAV4 everyday. You've made your point and opinion clear that's its not your thing.

    That would definitely be an interesting addition. It would smooth out the look a lot.

    The picture of the third gen install looks pretty clean to me. I honestly wouldn't mind it sticking out just a bit as I thing the audio unit is sorta a reach in its current position.

    It does support Apple Car Play

    You can adjust the height of the screen so you can bring it into/over the old OEM radio. I just choose to leave it a little higher.

    Can you run additional cameras (front, right, left) as well?

    I broke down and bought one a couple of weeks back because I was SO sick and tired of that Entune P.O.S. on my Tacoma. Outside of some issues I had with the installation (lack of knowledge on his part), things went very well and I am very happy with it. Needless to say, that 9" display thingy is BIG sitting in that cab. I think that for right now, I am trying to get used to all of the settings and related functions, presets, speaker bass/treble settings, etc. There are a lot of things to play with and there is a bit of a learning curve.
