as the tittle says saw a friend who did this. you just need to cut the dash a little bit to fit the radio because the tc radio is a bit wider but the harness is plug and play.
i think is a good upgrade. the tc radio is newer and have AUX and you can find those cheap. i wont do this but some people might be interested on this! --------------------  |

's actually a nice option, that; if it didn't say Scion, it could appear genuinely stock.

that second pic radio looks like the beginning scion radio and the 1st pic looks like the newer one i like the scion tc cause they have a piece you can hide your radio with. always wished they made an aftermarket cover!

Good call, Zach. I totally got the pictures out if order. The 1st and 3rd pics are the same radio, 2nd and 4th are the same. I don't feel like editing the post from my phone to rearrange them.

they are not an exact fit. because its a little wider than your regular double din.
meaning you have to cut the radio bezel,or install the radio crooked, or a alittle backed up. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
