Hi, this is a commonly occurring thread.

Basically you need to buy the spacers for the sides.

See this thread, specifically parts

* 86221-52060

* 86221-52050

from Toyota (~£14 for the set) Picture

See my tutorial in this thread for more info.

Thanks.

Really the whole stereo thing and these parts should be made a sticky thread in my opinion, along with links to the tutorials! :)

Hi, this is a commonly occurring thread.

thanks for the reply iv been offered those brackets but thought it would leave me with a gap at the top and bottom? does it look ok?

If your unit is a full size double din unit you will find there is no gap at the top or bottom, just the sides.

If there is then your unit should come with a plastic surround that makes it the full double DIN size.

I'd suggest fitting it and seeing what you think, then take it from there! :)
