What needs to be done to get my Alpine W205 (double din touchscreen) into a 2000 ES300? If that's too much work what about putting a single din head unit in this car? I believe the car came with a Nakamichi sound system from the factory......
I'd like to get my whole system into the Lexus after I pick it up next week, but I'm afraid the dash is going to prevent me from doing anything [Sad] [Confused] [Frown]
Please Advise

I think Metra has what you are looking for. It is a double DIN trim ring that uses the factory brackets to mount the radio.

95-8155 is the part number. See if that would work for you.

There is another double DIN kit for that car too...
