    Could someone with the Metra be kind enough to send me the measurement of the headunit area? I just need the width and height. Plz ;)

    Go for Metra. The Scosche is a piece of junk and uses plastic brackets to hold the head unit. I definitely do not recommend it for the double-DIN because it is heavier. The Metra kit uses the factory metal brackets.

    It is the same for every kit. DIN is a standardized size. 7.2" X 4.22" I believe.

    Hey I like how you put the toyota badge on the dash kit. Does this give you a lot of glare?

    I ended up going Metra. It doesnt squeak, shift, or rattle, but its only a minor improvement in regards to looks over the Scosche. The black internal area in the din looks much more natural than just the flat gray on the scosche IMO.

    Its really too bad that there isnt a better option than both of these.
