Audio & StereoTechnical discussions about factory or aftermarket audio and video systems.
This is a discussion thread titled "2007 Tundra Head Unit Install Kit TOY-K967", within the Audio & Stereo forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
wow, that radio looks really odd in there, because the kit is a bit too open around it. :/
It looks like hte head unit is recessed into the dash, is this true? Did it come with a spacing "ring" to move the head unit out a bit?
hard t otell because the details are blown out, but it looks like it matches the texture of the dash.
Yes, I recessed the deck in too far. My intention was to keep the knobs out of the way and to keep the sun off the face plate. I agree it looks a little odd so I'll reset it a little more flush when I get the time. But the kit does blend well with the flat black on the dash.

I would like to see a dual Din as opposed to something like this. The Dual din units would look much better vs the signal which are too small In my opinion this truck just craves a bigger head unit still waiting on my friends Kit to arrive since his Pioneer Z1 is allready installed..

Thanks for the info. In your HONEST opnion, how does it look in comparison to the rest of the dash? Does it look out of place? I'm thinking I should just purchase it, and worry about the piano gloss finish later...when/if they start making the kits.
In my honest opinion- it drives me nuts. The problem for me is that I had a avic d2 (matte finish) in my old truck and instead of taking it out, I replaced it with the d3 because of the piano finish and customizeable colors. I wanted it to look stock. Now I have piano on matte on piano in the middle of silver black and orange.
Though this kit does match the dash above it decently, it looks crazy comapared to the A/C controls. I will be purchasing a piano finish kit as soon as I find one.
On the other hand, I took my wife out to show her the work when I finished and she said it looks great. I said "Well, what about it not matching?" She still couldn't see anything wrong with it and she would have never noticed. I think it looks good as an aftermarket install, but it does not look like an OEM part.
Thanks - that's what I wanted to hear. I'll probably end up doing what you've done...just install the current dash kit, and hope and pray that a piano gloss black kit comes out in the near future.
I have a D3 coming this week. How did the install go? Do you have any tips or suggestions before I start...or is it all pretty straight forward?
I just Pre-ordered my kit threw Scosche and it should be in in 3 weeks it is supposed to be a perfect match to the factory finish in the center of the dash(piano black).

Thanks again!
I do have a couple of tips:
1) If you plan to install an aftermarket rearview camera, ipod adapter, amp wiring, or dvd changer, do it while you take the dash apart. I say this because the dash is a decent amount of work to take off. You need to take off the trim around the guages, the A/C bezel and the stereo.
2) Buy the toyota plug adapter from wal-mart, the internet, or a stereo store. This will save you a ton of time of chasing wires down and splicing.
3) http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4670 DO the hack for two reasons. If you want to search destinations and change course while in motion or if you want to be able to let your passengers watch dvd's while you drive.
Install was about 2.5 hours and was my third stereo installation. I didn't have the instructions for taking the dash apart and the majority of my time was wasted on that.
Take a look at the attached. Please understand this is a custom paint job. They primed the AI kit bezel, sanded, painted and then polished to a mirror finish. The good news is on Tuesday I'll know for sure if AI is ever going to produce a Tundra kit with the polished finish just like the attached images. If so I'll let you know exactly when they will be available and how much they will cost. In the meantime the install kits with the flat black finish are still available in the store and they look great.
