Toyota Corolla 03 - 08 DIN

Toyota Corolla 03 - 08 DIN
  • DIN/ISO Mounting: Patented snap-in ISO radio mounting supports
  • Recessed radio opening
  • DIN/ISO Mounting: DIN radio support structure
  • Under radio pocket
  • Factory fit and finish

This worked perfectly in my 2005 Toyota Corolla. It goes right with the car and makes the radio look perfect. It puts a 1-DIN radio in a 2-DIN space, and bevels right with the Toyota design making it look kind of like an original design rather than an add-on. The only thing that I would have added to their design if I had had the chance is instructions for the car model it is designed for. While it is easy to find various versions of directions for the Toyota Corolla on the internet, there is no way to know the quality of the instructions you find. The radio that I bought had a service for looking up various car models' directions online, but then, in the end, that database was incomplete, and I had to rely on one of the high school kid's postings found with Google. Since this dash kit is made specificially for that car model, this is the most logical part with which to include the directions. Oh, by the way, I will give you the directions, here:

Disconnect the battery just to be extra safe. (Some people cite airbag accidental release problems, but I do not think that that is a risk.) Carefully pry off the shifter cover. It takes only steady pressure. Disconnect the cigarette lighter/charger to get the panel out of the way. Remove the center A/C knob, and remove the screw. Then pry off the clock A/C cover. Again, slow steady pressure. Pry off the radio cover. You guessed it: slow steady pressure. The radio is secured with 4 hex screws, 10mm if I recall correctly. They are deep, so you need a long hex driver (and maybe a magnet). They fall and get lost easily. If they do, you might be able to find them on the carpet or by reaching back around things.

The dash kit comes with instructions for mounting it on the radio. You should strongly consider a wire harness Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker. It makes it easy to disconnect the radio, later. After the radio is tested, reverse the operations, above. Good luck!

I bought this dash kit along with Sony CDX-GT630UI and Scosche TA02B Wiring Harness (all from Amazon.com) for a installation in my 03' Toyota Corolla. I have never installed a car stereo before, and was a bit apprehensive about doing it myself, but decided to give it a try. The unit's color is a bit off, but not too obvious, and the fit could be a bit better. The instruction that came with the unit is at best marginal, and I had to Google quite a bit to get sufficient information I needed to take the front panels off to install the unit. However, after two hour of hard work, I am very happy to say that everything works great. I am also glad that I decided to do this on my own. The total cost was about $125. A car stereo shop nearby wanted $300 to turn my factory installed Toyota stereo (which I think everyone would agree isn't that great) iPod compatible, so I feel like doing this myself was a great decision. You will need some tools: I found out only after taking the front panels off that I would need at least 10" socket extension to remove the stereo housing. But if you are relatively okay with using tools, I recommend doing it yourself and saving yourself a bit of money.

I used this dash kit for my 04 Corolla and it worked great. I used it with a single din sony stereo. This is the first stereo I have installed and it was a perfect fit!

Great product. Very good design and build quality, easy assembly. This must be the professional installer choice (which I'm not). But being an Industrial engineer, I frequently see where products can be improved. This one just has two things missing, 1) At least (4) Flat Head M5 3/8" screws for fixing the radio to the ISO brackets, as you can't use the ones from the stock radio, those are hex type head. The other thing is, a hole in the mounting brackets, aligned with one of the radio and ISO bracket holes, so you can permanent fix the radio to the kit, I did make the hole myself, it's not a big deal, but you have to take precise measurements. This came to my mind when inserting the back plug, the radio slide out from the kit easily. It's not complete necessarily, but I like the things tight and secured. Other thing, don't forget to order the Turbowire kit 70-1761, this will make your electrical installation very easy, even the radio manufacturers recommend this Metra hardness kit.

This kit fits really well in my 2005 Corolla CE, and was extremely easy to put together, fits well, and the price was great. The only problem with it was that because of the way the bottom compartment is constructed, it doesn't sit 100% flush with the console. Don't get me wrong, it looks good, and I'm satisfied with it, its just that there is a very small gap between the bottom of the compartment and the surrounding trim. I know these kinds of things would annoy some people, so I figured I'd mention it. But all in all, its a great product, and I am very happy with it.

This was to be a gift for my wife who has a great ear for music. To say that she was pleased is an understatement. The unit is large, but not the dimensions of a full sized unit and yet it delivers all of the quality of a full sized stereo. The base and upper levels of sound are all very good. The small remote makes it easy to play whatever you desire from across the room. Sony hit a homerun with this one.

  • DVD / VCD / MP3 / MPEG4 / CD / CD-R / CD-RW Compatible
  • iPod Compatible and iPod Cable include, Built-in BLUETOOTH
  • SWC Steering Wheel Control ready

Received the unit and noticed the manual does not reference the navigation features with the "millions of Points of Interest". The description says it's built in so I installed the unit figuring the "Built-in touch screen navigation system" may be included in the menu system when it powers up.

It's not anywhere to be found, so I called Exonic. I was told none of their systems have navigation even though their own web site, Amazon, and many others say in their description that the navigation is included in this model EX7092 and some other models.

Other than that, the system seems to be a quite nice. The WVGA screen is clear, the menus laid out well, Bluetooth works fine and the sound is quite good. The USB and memory card play MP3s without a hitch. The DVD player works fine too and has a good picture.

My preference is a unit navigation, so I'll be retuning this one.

UPDATE 9/26/2011 In a nutshell don't buy this. Not even worth it even if it was free with free shipping. Now that the MP3 player is dead on top of the other issues this unit has had since installation my best advice to people is not to bother. Read my original review and see that I liked it at first, but over time and really not that much use, it's a dead piece of junk waiting to be removed.

Be sure to read my update at the bottom of the review because many of my first impressions changed after living with the stereo awhile:

I got my stereo to install in my 1968 Plymouth Fury VIP. My criteria was for it not to cost too much and to blend in as much as possible with my 1960's interior. The price from Onlinecarstereo.com was only 25 dollars plus shipping which seemed too good to be true. So far it has been money well spent.

Pros: Very simple MP3 player controls and the use of an USB thumb drive like a micro 8-track. Handles up to 2 gig drives which if full, I could drive all day and not repeat a track. Read my thumb drive without issues. Did not try the SD card feature as I prefer the USB thumb drives. I like the old fashioned manual tuning and it pulls in FM signals surprisingly well. I was picking up low power local stations my digital JVC in my Dodge was not getting. I have not tried the AM part because I rely on my original 1968 radio for that. The sound for the price is also surprisingly good though if you really want to blast the windows this is not the unit for that. You can add an amp to it with the RCA line outs but I don't really need it. I find that it plays as loud as I want it to because I'm old enough now I don't need it THAT loud anymore. I will add that the quality of your MP3 files will affect how loud you can go with the volume. The better the file, the better the sound at loud volume. I can hear it with the windows down just fine. It's also only a two channel stereo which is perfect for this car as I have only the two rear factory 6x9 cutouts and don't need or want four speakers.

Cons: Almost too simple MP3 player controls if you have your music organised into folders. You can manually click through one file at at time. If you hold down on the button in either direction it acts as a fast forward/rewind on an individual track. I did find that clicking through tracks backwards from the first song played got me into the only folder on my thumb drive. It's too much hassle to click that many times to get to something. I decided if I am in different music moods as I drive that it would probably be best to have individual thumb drives devoted to those musical moods and swap them around. I consider this acceptable given the extremely basic nature of the stereo.

Other cons: While I understand this is a cheap stereo could Pyle at least used thicker wires to attach speakers, power etc.? I was surprised at how difficult it was to get sound out of it and the problem was making sure there was true connections at the speakers. Ignore the online specs where it list "clock function". This model does not have a clock, the LCD version does. The "manual" could be better in addressing whether or not the unit could handle folders and whether it could skip back and forth between them though it was adequate in other respects. It would have allowed me to plan what I put on the thumb drives differently. But then it's a 25 dollar stereo so what do I expect? On the whole, it exceeded expectations and provides me with a way to have MP3s in my old car at a ridiculously inexpensive price.

After I ordered my radio, I saw the reviews here for the LCD screen version and I was glad I did not buy it. The old fashioned manual tune radio with no LCD seems to be a better product. If there was anything I'd change about it aside from beefing up the wiring, I'd add a couple of folder skip buttons to it.

Update July 2011: After living with this stereo for awhile, it didn't take long to see that it does absolutely nothing with folders. I thought I'd gotten into a folder but discovered I'd gotten into duplicate tracks outside the folder. At no point did the unit play anything inside the actual folder. I removed a star from the rating because the manual says nothing about this. I also observed that after playing for a couple of hours on a trip that the USB drive was surprisingly warm to the touch when I pulled it out. Don't know if this is normal or foreshadowing some kind of failure of the unit.

Also have noticed that some tracks have a background clicking sound. It's not quite loud enough to be truly irritating but it's enough to be noticed. Again, I cannot overstate the need for MP3 files to be the highest quality to keep it from sounding like crap. I've removed several tracks for this reason. Again, I only paid 25 bucks so my expectations were not high but still...

As other reviewers have mentioned, the tuner dial is merely a suggestion of the proximity of stations you might possibly be interested in. My initial positive review of its ability to pull in stations changed once I drove the car a few miles into a town where the one station I wanted to hear was impossible to tune where even my crappiest aftermarket and OEM radios in other cars had picked it up fine. I gave up on it. Agree with other reviewers that this unit is not as powerful as advertised. For me, this isn't a problem but I can see where it is for others.

For all of us who have classic cars, surely someone out there can make something that looks like a period radio, play MP3/WMA files and be a nice quality unit. I'd pay more for that. Custom Autosound was making stereos for classic cars with cassette decks etc, but I'd like to see a quality mechless two shaft stereo. Even with my low expectations, I'm finding that I'm now looking around for something to replace this with but since my unit is working more or less as designed which at this point is not a compliment, I'm taking my time finding a replacement.

Zero dash modifications is like saying one size fits all which is generally not the case and so goes my install.

The spread was off and some of the mounting holes needed adjustments but that said the tuner works great and the reception is good and clear. The sd 2 g holds tons of tunes and is one option older models didn't include. The look is right which was the main reason i bought it and it serves the purpose. A little headache to install but that's no reason to complain for the twenty i spent good to go!

I really wanted all the reviews to be wrong. But they're actually spot on.

Junk, junk, junk!

I figured my standards were low enough because all I listen to is one AM channel in my 86 Toyota, so I would be safe. Problem with that is, the stupid thing won't even go up to 1180 where it needs to be! Beyond that, it won't even hold a channel if I manage to get one. Big bummer. All I wanted is a period correct looking 2 post & dial radio.

Guess I better start trolling the salvage yards.

Uniden TRU9465 Expandable Cordless System with Dual Keypad and Call Waiting/Caller ID

Uniden TRU9465 Expandable Cordless System with Dual Keypad and Call Waiting/Caller ID
  • 100-name phonebook with 2 numbers per name
  • 100-number Caller ID Memory
  • IntegriSound life-like audio
  • DirectLink 2-way radio feature
  • Intercom between handsets

I recently went through a thorough research for a new phone system, going through research and test purchases.

The main criteria were:

1) Good sound quality (most of the decent cost ones are okay)

2) Very good handset speakerphone quality (Can't stress how important this is to me, and how different quality is among brands/handsets)

3) work with voicemail (like sunrocket) message waiting indicator. If a system has an answering machine it can't do voicemail message indicator light.

Most other features are pretty common across models/brands. Battery life is okay not that great with most 5.8Ghz systems.

The best phone I've had is a 900Mhz DSS Sanyo bought in 1997, but they stopped making or selling in the US.

I wasn't looking for cheap and upto a point price wasn't a concern.

The winner is : Uniden 9465 . Any of the Uniden 5.8Ghz digital systems using the TCX905 handset are the same, just different feature sets.

I tried the Panasonic 5.8Ghz high end system , and was pretty close, handset speakerphone quality was slightly worse and was the decider. Talking callerID seems like a great idea but is hopelessly badly implemented in the Panasonic systems. Talks too late, after 2 rings and taks nonsensically most of the time. I'm getting a Classco 9900CW box and will see how it works.

New Uniden DECT phone build and quality was atrocious. GE DECT phone (WalMart) was horrible.

Didn't try the others, including the Motorola

I've had several of these over many years. With a good battery, it holds a charge for quite a long time and I sometimes spend much of the day on the phone. Range is pretty good. My office is in the basement in the back of the house, and it works through the house (main and 2nd floors), as well as the garage. Even with slight static in the front driveway, which would be 50+ feet and through some concrete. The base with keypad and speakerphone means if I leave the phone upstairs, I can still make and receive calls a real help!

Uniden did a good job with these.

We have 5 phones [including the base] connected to this system that we use with Verizon FIOS. For those of you unfamiliar with FIOS, it is an Internet phone system. We no longer use the old fashioned telephone wires.

[1] Sound quality is very good.

[2] Audio on speaker phone is good.

[3] Even better, when you're using the speaker phone, audio quality on the other end is excellent. How do I know this? I was speaking with a friend who advised he hates it when someone calls him and uses a speaker phone. We were talking for a half-hour and he never knew I was on speaker phone.

One of the features I like is Paging. I like it because my girlfriend frequently forgets where she left one of our 5 phones. We use the paging feature to find it. So far it's never failed.

I would say the other features are pretty similar to any other 5.8 gz phone system. The important ones for me are those that I described above.

I've had this phone for about a year now, ever since it was introduced. I'm quite choosy about cordless phones and have gone through various models, including two Motorola systems. This is by far the best I've come across and I do recommend it. Lots of thoughtful features that work as advertised. (I note another reviewer claimed "false advertising" and said he couldn't find the 9460-2 model on the Uniden web site; it seems he didn't look hard enough). Is the phone perfect? Naw the screen light could stay on a tad longer when dialing and the "transmit address book to all stations" ought to transmit the customized ring tones, but these are relatively small flaws that are lost amidst the good overall design. In sum, this is the first time I've been able to recommend a cordless phone. In fact, I signed in tonight to place another order for a second system (once again: a base station and four additional handsets) for our vacation home.

Purchased this player because I love Audio Books....and I've found that this one only needs one thing to make it GREAT!! It needs to have a separate "pause" button/OR a Turn OFF button that will let you stop and start at the same place in the disc instead of having to completely start the disc over.

Other than this very irritating problem, it is great!!

JVC Home NXPN10 10W iPod iPhone Audio System (Black)

  • "Dual Play" System that can play and charge two iPods or iPhone 3GS, featuring Motion Sensor, Sound Turbo and FM Tuner.

Overall, the JVC Home NXPN10 system does what it says it will do, which is to play and charge your ipod/iphone. I used the system with a classic 120 gig ipod and an iPhone 4, and it worked perfectly with both devices. I was able to pause, play, rewind, fast forward, and even scroll through playlists and select playlists with the included remote. I listen to a lot of internet radio, so I was eager to see if the internet radio on my iphone would play though the JVC, which it did flawlessly. The sound is what you would expect from a clock radio, maybe even slightly better than my old clock radio, but nothing spectacular. The digital clock is a little bright at night, but I've quickly gotten used to it. My only complaint is the lack of a battery backup for the clock. Every clock radio I have ever used has had a battery backup in case of power outages, except for this one.If it had battery backup, I would have given it five stars.

I bought this to put on the nightstand to replace our current alarm clock. My wife and I both have iPhone 4's and both have to charge our phones at night. My solution was to find a dual dock stereo/alarm clock. This system fits the bill perfectly. Both iPhones fit perfectly and snugly in the charging aperture. There are separate covers that fold down to protect charging connector when no in use. The directions are pretty straight forward and easy to decipher. The sound is perfect for the bedroom and the remote is easily used throughout the room. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the unit relies on the remote for a lot of its programming and functionality. If the remote breaks or gets lost the unit is almost useless.

My wife and I both have iPhone 4s' and we were wanting a dual charging station to clean up the wires we had going to our end tables plus clock radio/music playing functionality in our bedroom. This product definitely fit the bill. It was a bit smaller than what I expected but also looks cooler that what I expected also. The blue backlight is a really nice touch and gives a neat lighting effect in a darkened room. I read a lot of the reviews on this product and will definitely agree with the button/remote control issue. I suppose the most useful buttons are on the device itself, but if you lose the remote you are completely screwed. You won't be able to set the clock/alarm, dim the lights, or set the sleep timer without it. For a small radio, it sounds pretty good. It fills the room with sound with decent bass. This is not an audiophile quality radio if that's what you need, but if you want a decent sounding radio to go to sleep to and wake up to you will like this one.

Well, it basically does what it says it will.... but it is super annoying!

You have to jump through hoops to get it to show the time.

Everytime you put a phone in the charger the display tells you what phone has been put in, and then just stays that way.

I know what phone has been put in. I just did it.

Then i have to get the remote and tell it that i want to see the time.

Having to do this every time in crazy annoying!

But its next to impossible to find another duel charger that will play music off your phone.

  • iPod dock, MP3 player compatible
  • Portable Audio Ready (PAR) technology
  • AroundSound feature for discreet listening

I've used this radio/ipod clock for several months now and it is pretty decent albeit a little large for a nightstand. It does look good in a subtle understated way, although they might have put the ipod dock on the side where it's a little less obtrusive. It does charge the ipod while it's in the cradle, which is something not every dock can do.

The adapter runs hot, which should have been a warning for what eventually happened. A muted popping sound and then a burning plastic smell started wafting up from my nightstand yesterday morning...I traced the source of the sound and smell to the adapter. After removing it and calling the company, I was told that I had to pay twenty bucks for a new one. I declined, since I could purchase one for much less locally (and I thought they should have offered to comp it since it wasn't even a year old). The main source of worry is that this might have started a fire had I not been there when it happened. Be aware that you might want to buy a better quality adapter for this if you have your heart set on this product.

This is a great little iPod player, perfect for a bedroom, office or small apartment. It's really basic (can't program radio stations) but excellent for someone who doesn't need something fancy. I've had mine for about five months and am extremely pleased.

I bought one of these from a 'bulls-eye' type store for $65 recently. I had originally purchased it for home but ended up buying a second on clearance to use at the office later. It's very well constructed and great at the office but there are several poor design features for the home user.

My biggest complaint is adjusting time and tuning settings. Be prepared to hold down the tuning buttons to scan through the clock minute by minute or the radio channel by channel. This would be a minor complaint if there were preset channels since I don't expect to have to change the time frequently. This isn't really a problem a work though since I use the iPod dock or leave the radio on for quiet background noise anyways.

My other complaint is that in my bedroom at night the back light is too bright even at the lowest dimmer setting. The entire room is blue enough to cause night blindness when I have to leave the room for any reason. This yielded the inevitable stubbed toe and cursing b/c I was too impatient to wait for my eyes to readjust. My quick solution was to open up the box and add a switch on the back light LED and wire it to the back panel of the box. (the box is real wood by the way) An even faster solution would be to just cutting a wire on the LED but it is nice to have the option to turn the LED back on during the day. Of course this isn't a problem in my office anyways.

Overall I'm happy with the radio and it serves it's purpose.

Pros: Good sound, sturdy construction, iPod dock and integrated remote control are nice. The external FM antenna is nice for large offices where reception is difficult.

Cons: Incremental adjustment for all settings is annoying, the clock/alarm, date, and tuning are set by by minute, day, and decimal respectively. No presets for radio. Back light is too bright.

This iPhone speaker system fails to prevent the dreaded signal popping "bzzt-bip-bip-bip-bip" that can happen when iPhones are in close proximity to speakers such as when charging next to your clock radio. Since this radio is MEANT to dock an iPhone, you would have thought the manufacturer would have shielded the proper components so this wouldn't happen. But both my iPhone 4 and my wife's 3S make the popping sound constantly making the iPhone dock useless turning this into a very expensive AM/FM radio.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. The design is very aesthetically pleasing and it sounds great! Well worth the price.

I bought the battery for my baby's thermometer. I did a test temp after I put the battery in and it worked fine. But after a week went by I suspected my child had a fever and went to check her temp, the thermometer only stayed on for 2 seconds, flashed a broken battery symbol and shut off. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the product, especially because it screwed me over in checking on my kid's health. Don't buy this.

Perfect! I bought this battery to replace the one in my Vicks digital thermometer. It works perfectly and I'm very happy with the price and the shipping speed. I'll definitely buy this again when I need more.

I bought this for my Vicks thermometer. This golden tip thermometer consumes too much battery but gives a reading in 6-8 seconds. So I had to buy the CR1225 3 Volt lithium battery. But as soon I placed it in the thermometer, it was giving low battery signal. So it is either fake or used.

Batteries were dead on arrival. I placed battery in my child's thermometer and all I got was a broken battery symbol. Very frustrating because my son had a fever and I couldn't take his temperature.
