In Dash Flip Up CD/DVD Player for a 2006 Tacoma

Hello again TW,
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what In Dash Flip Up CD/DVD Player would fit a 2nd gen. tacoma.
If you have any pics, that would be great.
I'm looking for one around 500$
I found this one right here

Sound Bar, Bluetooth Soundbar Audio TV Speaker - Wired and Wireless Connection, 29.5"es 2.0 Channel Home Theatre Sound System with 50 Watts Speakers, AUX/Optical/USB/BT Input Modes Remote Control

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463383391&pf_rd_i=507846 and I need to know if it will fit.
It would help a lot to let me know what kind you all have and what you think about it.

Thanks

 

Crutchfield.com They know what stereos fit the truck if you type in the year make and model.

 

It fits. You just need to get a single din dash kit. runs around 40 bucks or so.. You can get it from ********* and it comes with a harness too. I recommend getting the metra kit, matches better than the scosche one that taco tunes sells. people on here are trying to selling them fairly often.

 

make sure u get a kenwood

 

Is there a reason you don't want a double din sized one? They look great in the 2nd generation.

 

This is my Alpine I got on Crutchfield. It came with a dash kit that fit great. You had to do a little trimming on the piece that makes the radio fit to the dash kit but other than that it was great. I love it. Alpine IVA-W505.

 

Oh my bad. If want a flip up DVD Receiver you want a double din kit. When the radio isn't flipped up it fits in one slot.

 

I want your radio soco

 

I decided the 2 din are better looking than a flip up, so I'm gonna go for the 2 din, what do you think about this one?

What all would I need to purchase with it? I've never done this before, so bear with me.

Thanks

 

I like the 2 din better too. If the mechanism ever goes on the flip-up, you're screwed.

 

I wish I could afford a nice Alpine, if I do upgrade from my stock radio, I'll probably get a single din dash kit, and a decent receiver. Hows the process of removing the old and installing the new? I've done a few radios in my day, but something tells me it's not going to be that easy?

 

It's pretty easy actually. Here's a step-by-step courtesy of *********

 

I have the Alpine 205 install on my MR2, since i will be selling it soon i am thinking putting it in my Tacoma in spring.

 

I'll take that as a compliment. Just got the nav system to go with it so no more getting lost in Washington DC

 

it is maybe ho-ho will bring me one

 

Ya gotta like *********!

 

yeah, i just did a thread about the double dins. I LOVE the look - i think it looks even better than the stock radio!

 

sorry about bringing up an old topic, but i bought the metra kit and my stereo does look crooked.. its cheap looking and the stereo sticks out a bit too far. What is everyone's take on the scosche vs. metra kits? I'm thinking of buying a scosche kit on ebay (theyre goin for about $26) but i'd rather not waste the money and time if it's pointless.

The metra kit uses your stock stereo's existing brackets, whereas the scosche kit has its own - which seems like it would solve the crooked/sticking out issue.. but everything seems cheaper plastic.. i'm torn.

 

I used a scosche with my double din pioneer and it looks good and fits good. only issue is on the top trim piece is a little flemsy

 

yeah, my whole thing is flimsy.. so i guess thats already an improvement. SO with yours, you can control the depth of the stereo (so its a bit more sunkin in..)?

ladies like it when you can control depth (sorry, had to do it)

haha!
