Can't wait to see the pics. I've been waiting to pull the trigger. Then just need to decide on Avic 120 or other.

I think I'm going to build a carputer...I found a few nice interfaces...I haven't found any thing else that will do what I want. Just need to do some more research and decide...but, first, I have to get me my damn 5th gen!!!! please get some pics up. I'm really curious on the quality, fit and finish!

I just got my metra kit via UPS today. I'm actually pretty impressed with the quality. It looks as if Toyota made it.

What stereo/gps will be installed in these? I imagine each one is different sizes so are there many choices?

I recieved my Metra kit yesterday and the quality is as good as OEM. I bought a Metra kit from them a few years ago and it was perfect then .
They have all kinds of brackets and bezels for all kinds of stereos in the kit. They even have a detailed instruction book to show step by step how to remove/install the nav/stereo .The silver paint match is dead on too.
I'm going to try to find time to take out the stock Nav for pics and see about Kenwood or Pioneer wiring harness I would need. Installer.com tech support is over the top with stuff like that.I won't be installing a new Nav for a couple of weeks though.
Here are a couple of pics of the whole kit.One of the trim pieces are next to it to show the color match.

That looks great !!!
Is there an aftermarket DVD/NAV solution that will also use the existing bluetooth mic, XM antenna, and rear backup cam? I could handle replacing an HU and buying that replacement dash piece, but I could see much more than that leading to a big project

Not yet...
I am hung up on waiting for this.....I am going to take a look at the wiring diagrams and see if there is any way to tie this into any of the head units that are available rather than reaching over and using the headunit
you can rewire your rear backup cam to some of the dvd video units and XM is available on many of the new head units..
There is nothing available to use the existing bluetooth controls on the steering wheel though...but there are several units that have integrated BT capabilities in them
I am going to be upgrading to a DVD Double DIN head unit with video out to the integrated monitors in headrests for the rear seats....
I have portable GPS units so don't need integrated...
For now, using stock speakers as I like them, but will be adding some anti-vibration materials to help with the rattle on some of the mounts...
Add a 500GB HD for music - much cheaper than a IPOD, an amp to clean up the signal to the speakers a bit, will also allow a simpler upgrade of the speakers in the future...
so many options, so little time...
