Aftermarket Radio Dash Kit Blank Space
Hey all, tried doing a little searching but couldn't find any dedicated threads to this, but I'm trying to see what options we have when it comes to the very large blank spaces on each side of the radio when putting in an aftermarket radio. Would prefer to see photos of either what you have done or what someone else has. Thinking along the lines of phone mounts, switches, etc

You can get the China T8/T9 headunit which uses these spaces for buttons.

Depends on which aftermarket kit you get. There is a Scosche one and a Metra one. I think I have the Metra. Ironically, I use Scoshe dash mounts on both sides of the radio display to magnet mount my phone and my wife's. However, with both together, I can have an ipad covering everything.

Second, saying there are no real options is dumb to say. It is just a piece of plastic. You can cut, mount, and paint it easily. I'm not limiting this to accessories made for that dash kit (there are none), but rather, what custom things people have done. |

That's why I haven't bought an aftermarket head unit. The traditional 7" screen ones look all weird with the huge amount of blank space on the sides.
The T8/T9 look nice but they are full of bugs. Supposedly 2020 4Runner head unit looks a lot better and has a bigger screen. |

Anyone have anything? My thoughts right now are to try to find a cubby of some sort that can fit/mount on one of the sides and that can also double as a wireless charger. Also thinking about some switches on one of the sides.

I have the t9 unit and it's awesome. Looks factory, works great
