Hey everyone,
- Newly registed member, but have been lurking for a while, and am impressed with the club and it's members' know-how.
I recently installed a Sony Xplod stereo in my '01 LX. While it plays fine, it juts out from the dash a couple of inches, and generally looks out of place.
I got the radio w/install kit from Crutchfield. The kit replaces the original storage pocket below the radio with a smaller one above.
Besides jutting out, the assembly is not as rigid as the OEM setup.
My question is, has anyone used the original brackets with a radio swap? The radio has side mounting holes, but says they're for Toyota installations.
Any advice, thoughts (or links to dashboard photos!) would be appreciated.
TIA,
Ramon
