Works but not great

While this kit does it work it wouldn't be my first option for the Avalon. First of all, the chrome plastic trim doesn't fit flush against it on driver side for me. No matter what I did I couldn't get it perfect. Second, fitting my radio was a bit of a pain. There is a slight gap up top which I'm sure will collect tons of dust. Plus the radio didn't sit flush when installing. Not sure if there should have been an included spacer or what but when putting on the top screws it would make the radio sink in so it sat angled. I ended up having to 3D print a cylindrical spacer so the radio had something to stop it from sinking in when bolting this on. Lastly while the gloss looks nice it is a dust magnet and quite frankly doesn't match the trim of the car. I would have bought something else but this seems to be the only option.

Fit really well. My only wish is that it were matte instead of glossy.

The Only Option

This is an overall decent product, and really your only option if you're putting an aftermarket headunit in an Avalon. First the cons. I installed this with a Pioneer double din radio and found that the radio is slightly smaller than the cutout in this dash kit, so no matter how much adjusting I did, there is always a visible gap on at least one side. Luckily everything is gloss black so it is really not visible, but I know it's there so it drives me crazy! The gloss black is an absolute dust magnet, and the plastic feels cheap and scratches easily. Even window cleaner and a microfiber cloth will leave swirl marks on this. Now the pros. The installation of this was simple and straightforward, and the fit and finish is generally good. Im not sure if the gap I have is due to the radio being too small or this dash kit having too large of an opening. It's such a minor gap that I've decided to live with it, but it's there none the less. Once installed, the gloss black does look really nice and blends well with the car. No one who gets in my car can tell that this isn't a factory headunit, and having all of the latest technology with an aftermarket headunit makes this completely worth it!

Looks Good in my 2014 Avalon

Used this to replace the stock unit in my 2014 Avalon. Overall it was a really good fit, but given the cons I listed, I'd recommend a different product.

Perfect replacement for the factory faceplate!

Here's my installation in a 2014 Toyota Avalon. The fit was perfect and looks GREAT with an Alpine iLX-107!
