Fitment is the issue
I purchased this unit for my 2007 Scion tC. According to all the documentation on the site and on the unit it should have fit my car. Well it didn't. Yes, it mounted with the factory hardware without issue, the wiring harness made the install a breeze, but when I went to put my waterfall (The center console in a tC, the radio compartment has a door also) it would not clear the unit. The reason being the faceplate extends past the chasis of the unit on the bottom about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. with the faceplate extended I was able to get the console on, but the faceplate would not close flat anymore. So yes, theoreticly it "FIT" the car, but it needs to be stated somewhere thet it will not clear the opening on the console of a Scion tC. The unfortunate part is that the unit itself, while testing it before trying to put the dash back on, seemed pretty solid. I scored only the appropriate catagories with scores higher than "1" due to my experience with the unit not being complete.
