will it fit

[Oh_1_cam_LE]

Hey peoples....jus bought a 01 Camry LE for my wife...has the JBL system...well the radio is pretty worn out...I have a Pioneer DEH-P77DH (from old Tahoe) din and a 1/2 HU...will it fit in my cam or can I only swap it out for a din size or DD din...thanks for any info...

It should fit but, you are going to have a space left in there. You could probably fill in that space with the cover that the 01-04 Tacoma's have when they don't come with a CD player.

so the factory unit is a double din...well that sux...I jus wanted to put something in that was a little better than what is there...I have a radio jus sitting in the closet...so there will be alittle space left over...hmmm... I might jus try to put it in and see how it is gonna turn out...Thanx for the information...

atually, with the space left over, you can cover it up with a piece of ABS plastic....that is what I use to fill gaps in an install.

[Oh_1_cam_LE]

I do have some ABS sheet..jus wasnt sure if the radio would fit..I have enough stuff around the house from other installs left over that I could fill the gap with..thanx for all the help...that is kewl that Toyota has a second harness to bypass the factory amp...guess Im gonna put the radio in on sat when I have more time..

I've never seen a 1 1/2 Din stereo in a toyota. I think the only problem you will run into is the need to drill out new holes in the side brackets that hold the cd player so that it will match up.

If you look at a base echo or a base tacoma they come with an am/fm radio that is basically missing the top part that would be the cd player. This panel is exactly half din sized.

If you mount the 1 1/2 din stereo you have at the bottom of the 2 din opening, you'll have 1/2 din opening at the top where you would use the toyota 1/2 din panel.(you might need to drill new holes in the side brackets in order to get it to line up, you might not)

I looked for the 1/2 Din panel on ebay and didn't find it, so I would say go to the dealer, it probably only costs 10 bucks or so.

I have been searching ebay for the past hour...I have searched the internet and countless other places...I made me some templates...for the radio cut size...I was thinking that I might have to fab the whole set up...Im gonna tear into it tomorrow...and see what it would require...to the bracket come off of the stock radio and you have to reuse them when you install an aftermarket...or the kit come with new brackets...I bought a install kit from wally world...but it will not work...it said Toyota but after I opened it..it is not for the camry..oh well...more research to do..thanks for the help..

The brackets should work. I'm not sure whether or not you have to drill new holes for it to line up where you want it to.

Make sure you get a wiring harness like this one

Here's another idea, might not be feasible but

That's basically the addon that goes in Scosche kit pockets. It looks like it's half din sized. If it would work it would take up the space and serve a purpose.

[Oh_1_cam_LE]

well...I just pulled the dash out and tried to test fit the din and a half..no fit...it is bout 1/2" to wide...I guess I will jus buy a din size and make it easier on myself..thanks for all the info....I guess I will but the din and a half back in the closet...hahaha
