    Well browsing through EBAY the other day I saw this head unit from a 2005 Scion. It was pretty cheap($30) so I bought it & installed it in my '94 yota. It was so easy to install. Just used the original factory brackets & it fit like a glove!! The only thing that I needed to do was to trim the radio bezel to make it fit. It sounds awesome...much better than the one I had before! I think it looks pretty good! I know it's nothing fancy, just something til I save up some $$$$ to get a better system! The only thing is the radio lights up orange & my gauges are green, but I think I can live with that!:evil:

    Cool idea...look around on some Scion forums cause I think, but Im not 100% sure you can change the color of that unit. I know you can program it to do crazy things cause I did to one in my ex's TC lol! You can program it to have an opening comment when it first gets power. :)

    I like the look of the double din deck. Saving up for a good unit with all the goodies.

    well I went to the junkyard & picked up the original wire harness from a 94 toyota camry(only $1)...same harness. Wired up the harness & plugged her right in! Only took like 20 mins.
