Will a 2 Din fit in an '07 avalon?

[bgseib]

Was looking at replacing my factory radio with a gps/backup/dvd player and was wondering if anyone with aftermarket radios have been able to fit a 2 din or just a 1 din with kits?

Thanks,
Brian

Take a picture of your radio, and I could let you know. Thanks

I have not picked out the new radio yet. I am not sure I need to be looking for a 1 or 2 din radio to replace stock. I was hoping a 2 din would fit so I could use the door panel still and not have to modify it to still be able to shut.

I customized my radio trim to fit a double din

IF your going to spend money on an aftermarket unit go with Dynavin's D99 Universal Multimedia GPS navigation radio.

It runs of ANDROID OS software

you can download applications such as pandora, google maps, etc

Its the real android

00avxls-that looks sweet! I don't know if my skills are that good at modifying trim pieces. What unit did you put in there?

The d99 looks pretty sweet too - prob too high a price tag for me.

That was the first time I've ever done anything like that. Thought I'd give it a shot. I don't remember the model number of the kenwood radio I have but I bought it because I had a kenwood single din flip up screen at first and wanted to keep my add on navigation and siriuis.

The D99 is on sale for forum users for $665. This includes back up camera. You will need to buy correct harness (I can point you in the direction).

From the look of the radio, it seems as if you pull out the unit the universal unit should fit. Did you buy a frame? or any other trim pieces?

The problem with aftermarket radios and avalon isnt the space. There's a lot of realestate behind the panel and with a little bit of customizing you can give it a factory look and install almost any aftermarket.

The real problem is the factory radio's wiring that also controls the air conditioning. If you remove the factory radio, A/C doesnt work and if not mistaken also the blue screen wont either. I think someone posted a how to using a custom made or altered harness to connect and leave the original radio in the trunk while using an aftermarket.

I'm looking to do the same there is another member here and this is what he did and I quote:

"E17 pin 9 & 10 are the wires that I cut from the harness leading into the dash away from the radio and installed the 68 ohm resistor across to keep the display/climate control working"

What I will do is unpin the wire from the plug instead of cutting, once the two wires are removed from the plug I will bridge them using a 68 ohm resistor, this way it is reversible if needed.
