for those of you waiting for a kit to replace your 2003 stereo head unit - your time has come.

i spoke to Metra last week and they had just finished 400 kits -

Dashboard Adapter = Part # 99-8206
Wiring Harness = Part # 70-11761

where can i order the metra kits?

Dude

Is the kit a din+pocket, single din, or din + 1/2 din option? How can I get in touch w/ Metra?

Need some pics.

you can look at their kits here

http://www.metraonline.com/

they only take wholesale orders - so you gotta have your local audio shop order it for you..

they're about $15

Dude

Just got the kit today and it is a DIN+pocket. Basically it has nice rounded corners so the install will look just like the base stereo around the edges.

Anyone have one of the harnesses? I was told by tech support at Metra that this harness only worked for the base stereo. If you have JBL...no dice. I will be adding aftermarket amps so I only need to tap into the OEM harness leads for a switched power supply and the power antenna lead. Anyone know if this harness will fit the OEM harness if you have JBL?

Did you install this in a 2003 Sport (JBL w/ 10speakers)?

I just called Metra and was told the following:

Dashboard Adapter = Part # 99-8206 (not for limited, but okay for all others)
Wiring Harness = Part # 70-1761 (not for premium system)

I just don't undertand what the difference is with the limited edition. The tech support fellow (Mike) said it might be a different bracket or maybe even the trim.

I have the 03 Sport with the JBL 10 speaker (premium). I realize that this stereo has 10 speakers and the other has 6 so that's why the wiring harness won't work, but surely the hole in the dash is the same on all 4Runner editions.

Does anyone have any insight about this? I'm worried that since the Limited has the same JBL as the Sport that this may not fit in my truck.
