Installation Ease

Customers generally find the installation of the Metra 95-8240B stereo dash kit easy, but some mention it took time for adjustments and required the use of factory brackets for a secure fit. The kit comes with necessary components for a complete install and fits well in various Prius models.

Price


But i can say that i did save a bunch of money on the install with bringing in my own mounting hardware.


It does it job well and is cheaper then what you'd get otherwise.

Packaging/appearance


Wanted to write this review just to confirm that the package does come with the small 68 ohm resistor to keep cooling fan control.

    This worked very well in my 2004 prius the worst part was disassembling the entire dash to change the stereo


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The finish of the front trim piece is just okay it feels a little cheap but it fits well if a little loose in the clips


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My biggest frustration and i suppose this is partly toyotas fault is the temperature sensor


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Toyota decided to mount the sensor in the stereo so when you replace it you need to find a new solution


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This kit comes with a tiny resistor which can serve as a replacement sensor but it will be stuck behind your radio


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The issue is how they want you to install it is very janky if not a bit dangerous


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I made it work but i wonder if i could have just ignored that step and been fine anyway


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This would be better served by pigtails on a proper connector
