Swap out Factory HU for DIN...but - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 91 with the basic AM/FM/CD and storage pocket below.

I want to install a new single standard DIN radio, but it does not have any screw holes on the side of it (like Alpine/Pioneer radios do) - and as such I am trying to figure out how to mount it? - Anyone have any suggestions??

Get an install kit from Best Buy.

Got a part number or pic?
No company I called makes an install kit that will work with anything but a radio that has screw holes in it, in fact - all kits I found are only essentially the kind with a pocket and nothing more!

Guys,
I need a product that does not depend on using the OEM Factory brackets.

Crutchfield does not offer a product with that in mind.

Metra might but I am not sure.

I bought a universal install kit that worked fine.But it was about 8 years ago and I'm not sure where I got it.
Either Best Buy, WalMart or Ebay-probably.

Looks like you got a head unit that requires a sleeve system. Don't know if they make generic ones that can replace it or not.
