MP3 Solution

Post by packman »

I managed to install this scion radio in the vibe. It fits ok, but the mounting brackets had to be modified. The whole thing cost me about $60 with the radio and 2 wirring harnesses.

It also matches colorwise. The display on the radio is orange at night so it matches with the dashboard colors.

I bought the deck on ebay for about $50. I also purchased two wiring harnesses (oem scion, and oem vibe) because the deck doesn't come with one. The install is bit of a hassle because the mounting brackets need to be modified (redrilling of new holes) to fit the scion radio.

^^That is the hard part, you have to line up the stock radio and the scion one and then make new holes in the mounting bracket.
