Mediocre fit and quality, but in the end it worked.

Came with a broken tab to mount it. Luckily, some careful gluing and melting got it to work. The plastic mounting brackets are flimsy and the fit was a bit rough. More "customizing" was required to get the hazard button to work freely and not hang up. Installed in the dash it looks good and has an acceptable fit. A better quality option would be nice to see.

I like the look of this, but the plastic brackets have difficulty holding the stereo, therefore, it bounces around when you drive. I called Crutchfield and they have no answer. If possible, I would get a metal option (which Crutchfield doesn't have, but should sell as an upgraded option). I am going to go to a couple of local shops to see if I can get something more secure from them.

It's about as good as can be gotten for my Tacoma

Good optics but required patience, a discerning eye, and steady hands to install so the receiver didn't pop out while driving. Looks great when it's in and retains factory feel if installed properly.

Great Trim Package for 2007 Toyota Tacoma

The faceplate matches perfectly to the factory dash. Snapped right into place, although moving the Emergency Flasher/Clock assembly was a little challenging. The trim fit the receiver well too, and the compliments I received on the install tell the story. I'm very happy with this trim package. On a Toyota Tacoma, reuse the metal brackets off of the original receiver. The plastic brackets leave you open to breakage when reinstalling in dash.

Great factory finish look

This kit matches the finish in my 2007 Tacoma and looks "Factory". The plastic mounting brackets caused the radio to move slightly when driving. Using double stick on the top and bottom of the dash kit to contact with the radio mount fixed the problem.

Almost looks like a factory piece. Brackets are plastic and a little wobbly, there was some flashing I had to file, and it requires a bit of twisting and bending to make everything fit, however it is close enough to the OEM dash that you would not notice unless someone pointed it out to you. Overall install looks very clean and original.

Metra 95-8214T Dash Kit

The screws supplied with the radio are "tapered" for a flat fit against the bracket when connected to the radio. However the plastic brackets supplied with the kit do not have tapered holes. The screws were therefore too short to reach the indented radio screw holes (see attached pics). I called Crutchfield support and the fellow I spoke to knew right away what the issue was. He said he also had the same issue because the manufacturer changed the bracket design. He suggested marking the bracket with a pencil where the holes matched the radio holes, and then use a 3/8" drill bit and lightly and slowly drill into the bracket holes (taking care not to go all the way through) so the screws are flat against the bracket. That worked and I was able to screw the bracket to the radio. I took away 1 star away because the brackets should have had tapered holes.

Fits almost perfectly and matched interior almost perfectly. The look is so close, no one would notice. The fit is about 95% perfect. The top edge is just ever so slightly off, but not very noticeable unless you're looking for it. Cant bring myself to ding it on stars because of not being exactly perfect. Then again, my truck is 15 years old...so there is that.

Fitment Issues, but Mostly Ok

I had a few issues with the Metra kit. I had to play with the fitment to get it to work. It isn't perfect but I'd say around 90%. The mounts are plastic and the screws will deform the mounting as you screw it into the radio The smaller inner bezel fits over the stereo and snaps into the plastic mounts. The outer bezel uses only 4 of the 5 OE mounting points. I wish it also had the 5th mounting point at the top center Once snapped in place in the outer bezel, the hazard switch would get stuck. I had to work with it to get it in a place where it wasn't. The sides of the outer bezel don't stay flush with the inner bezel. Again, these are probably just nit picky and while not perfect the fit is still decent. If there was another option, though, that offered a better fit I would definitely consider it.

Metra dash kit was horrible!!! Spent 3 hours and 3 calls to tech support trying to make it work. Bottom bolts popped the face plate off when tightened and fit into the dash was rough. Third tech talked me through every option and when it still wouldn't work had a Scosche kit sent to me free of charge (AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE). Install took less than 3 minutes (I had a lot of practice with the Metra) and fit perfect and way more securely. I recommend the Scosche dash kit for the Tacoma and Crutchfield is to be commended for their patience with me and their Customer Service.

Nice Dash Kit for 2005 Tacoma!

Chose the Metra Dash Kit rather than the competitor based on various user ratings and faceplate texture/color. All dash clips, screws, brackets, and additional parts listed were in the package. The assembly was easy and looks good in my 2005 Tacoma. The faceplate texture is not an exact match to the Tacoma dash, but pretty close. And, there is a very minor difference in color shade, but that could be due to the weathering of a 15 year old truck. I did not expect a perfect match and am very happy with the kit. I did notice that the when attaching the Clock/Airbag assembly to the faceplate that the screws split two of the standoffs. The screws tightened OK, so I am hopeful they will hold. Since the other two standoffs did not split, and because I am not heavy-handed, I sort of think that either the walls of two cracked standoffs are too thin, or the pre-drilled holes are a little small.

This product look like it was going to fit and match a lot better then my old double din insert, but after opening and assembly of it I was wrong. Where the clock connects to it you need to screw this insert in. I followed the instructions perfectly but all the tabs holding the clock broke off! Now this is in the trash because of its uselessness. This product is very cheap and flimsy I would not buy again.

Buy Scosche install kit.

Only pro on Metra kit is the finish matches the silver pimpled trim around the HVAC controls. This faceplate only uses 4 of the original 5 clips. The top doesn't conform to the contours, both corners stick up. Plastic radio mounts didn't have the correct holes for my Kenwood DMX706s, tried reusing the stock metal mounts, that made radio sit too far inside dash to use trim piece, even if it did love up straight. Ordered the Scosche kit, plastic mounts have slats cut, instead of holes. I was able to make Scosche kit line up near perfect. It's grey and smooth, like the hazard switch. Uses all 5 factory clips, and fits flush with the rest of the dash. TL;DR Metra is prep, Scosche fit perfect.

Two Right Bracketsin Only in the Kit

The kit came with two right side brackets, no left bracket was included, so because of that they were both unusable. I had to use the factory brackets and wedge washers between the bracket and the mount so it would hold the faceplate against the dash because the stock brackets won't hold the new faceplate. Also, I had to cut out a leftover piece of plastic from when it was molded so the emergency light switch so it would work. Last but not least, the radio is recessed in the dash kit so it is hard to adjust the volume. I had to glue an extension on the knob to make it easier.

Does what it's intended to and makes for a clean install!

It's a good piece, just wish the centerpiece would attach to face instead of the cheap plastic brackets when using a factory metal brackets to mount the radio. Other then that and the hazard switch slightly binding on the faceplate. It does the job and looks good.

Looks just like the OEM faceplate. Some guys working on the vehicle thought it was the OEM radio. The trim ring fit perfectly. We did have a little trouble with the mounting brackets. The radio was able to move slightly due to there flexibility. But these brackets will work fine. They are super adaptable with holes that will fit most radios. We ended up re-using the OEM metal brackets. Made the radio more stable.

Perfect form and fit. Used the exiting metal brackets from the old radio rather than the plastic ones that came with the dash kit.

Good but not great

This was free with my new head unit and beggars can't be choosers. My main complaint is the plastic mounting brackets for the head unit, they are pretty flexible and it allows the head unit to wiggle around in the dash a bit more than I like. I found that putting a few grade 8 flat washers under the upper mounting tabs where they bolt into the dash helped shim the radio forward a bit and made the fit somewhat tighter and more stable.

Budget friendly, fitment leaves something to be desired!

Dash kit does fit the truck,however the fit to the radio face is not great. Seems secure in the dash no rattling and doesn't fall out,also the hazard button opening needed slight "massaging " so the button didn't stick. The plastic radio brackets seem secure once mounted.I may keep this time will tell but may want to try the schoche model for better fitment. If price is a factor this kit does work.
