    I have two in my rear bumper tied into my reverse light and two that are controlled by a switch on my tool box.

    Did you have to trim any to put it in this location? Thinking about putting my switch there as well.

    First I have a section for my front-facing pods and fog lights.

    And then I made a bank for my roof basket lights. The first is my LED bar (switch light is blue), the last is my rear-facing amber pods (switch is amber), and the middle three are my side and rear-facing floodlights (switches are all green)

    Side note: what aftermarket radios does everyone have? I'm in the market for a new one so I can have room for switches.

    I got this Pioneer unit from Crutchfield a few months ago and have been really happy with it. Bluetooth for handsfree calling and Pandora streaming as well as my iPod that stays in the glove box. I like going from the double DIN factory config to this single DIN and gaining the little storage area underneath.

    You got a link to this? How hard was install? I think I might go this route.

    I would rate the installation as a 2 on a 1-10 scale, 10=most difficult. Crutchfield will supply a Toyota-specific harness so its pretty much plug and play. It was really just a matter of bolting it in and routing the Bluetooth mic.

    It came with the the lower storage compartment but you could easily replace that with a Paranoid fab switch panel if you'd rather use that space for switches. Several have gone that route and it seems to always come out really clean.

    It says it's no longer available. This is exactly what I'm looking for as I'd like space for stwitches underneath the sterio. I think it looks the cleanest.

    Interesting, i didnt notice that at first. Browse around Crutchfield then and see what has good reviews and has the features you want. Maybe mine has been replaced with a newer model or something by now

    I've been thinking about putting a row of toggle switches there. I might buy an extra console just in case i really mess it up, but i don't see any other great spot for them unless i make a plate that mounts up in front of the shifter a bit (M/T)
