new headunit = big hole

I bought a new headunit, I got a Sony CDX-F5700... Well I orginally had the HUGE CD/Tape player in my 4Runner (2 DIN size)...

So my question is what did you do for the hole? I have about a 2.25"x7" hole in the dash, so what did you do?

Search eBay or Crutchfield for a pocket... I got mine on ebay cheap and looked good.. until I took it out for lcd. I'll sell it to you cheap, but my Runner is a 97, dont know about fit.

go to an auto parts store or walmart and buy a dash kit to fill the space.

You could goto the junk yard and get the plastic bin that came on 4Runners with single din radios.
Crutchfield.com sent a plastic bin (to install under the radio) with my order of a single din radio...maybe they would sell you just the plastic piece (mine was free with the order.)
