    Hi everyone,

    I've been lurking for about 2 years now and decided its about time I create an account. I've been struggling to find any knock off In-dash receivers for the Premium Center Console. I really don't want to spend $2,000 on an Entune premium radio..

    This is what I currently have:

    This is what I bought (in matte black to match):

    Does anyone know the dimensions of the Premium Center Console or have any brands they recommend? What should I be looking for?

    Thank you!

    Your original bezel will fit most aftermarket units. The new bezel you got needs a trim ring that makes it the same size as your old one.

    But, since you have it already...

    the alpine halo9 is a pretty good option, gives you a much bigger screen than most of the other options.
    If you want to go full android check out some of the options from joying.

    I did the same thing to my 17 SR. I bought the premium dash bezel and found a premium radio from a Sienna- non sat Nav from eBay . The radio came with a Sat radio tuner. It is the entire premium with larger screen. It works well and total was about $350.

    Just had to add the sat and nav antenna (non OEM) which was about $25 total.
