Well this is just a heads up....

So I purchased the install kit from Crutchfield for the tC (TOYK969). I recieved my first kit, and none of the brackets seemed to fit. On top of that it didn't have instructions for the tC, just the xA/xB. However, this is the kit that many have stated that they have used. Well to make a long story short, I modded the factory brackets, drilled holes, heated some plastic to make adapter plates, got a little epoxy and a couple of screws, and bam I made the kit work with the factory brackets.

Well I decided to follow up, so I complained to crutchfield. Well the rep that I dealt with had the tech guys try the kit in one of their cars and he stated it worked fine, yadda yadda. Well I couldn't understand it, but the rep sent me a new kit free of charge. Low and behold the brackets that I needed were in that kit, but not the one I got originally sent. Moral of the story, if yours is missing brackets just call and get a new kit and save yourself the hours of work I wasted.

Also I might add, the rep said this has been an ongoing problem with old stock, because the tC adapters have just recently been added to the kit.

I just checked the tracking number and the damned post office hasn't even updated their tracking information. It still says ir was received in Sonora, CA...government employees...huh!!

I had the same issue with the kit (American) from Crutchfield. I also attempted to make it work, but ended up breaking it...out of frustration more than anything.

I went to Car Toys and purchased their kit (Metra) and it worked fine ... bing, bang, boom, done in a few minutes.

Yah, the USPS sucks with tracking numbers. I noticed that three days after I recieved it, it finally got updated.
