Question
Hi,

I have a Toyota Avalon 2005, and it doesn't have a aux or iPod connector and when i was searching for one, i found "http://www.gtacarkits.com/toyota_avalon_2005_2011_car_kit.php", Can you please let me know whether this is a good kit to go for or please suggest me of any other kits that i can use.

I have another question, when i use a kit to install a aux or iPod interface i need to remove the front panel of the audio/radio system, Do you have any guidelines or instructions, that i could follow to install the kit.

Thanks Much in advance.
Srinath

Answer
The silver trim piece with the ac vents around the radio comes out, its just hold with clips start in one corner with a flat small screw driver  

about the gtakit, they are ok for some vehicle but they have some problem with Toyota because there are 2 different harness inside and you don't now if you need a small one or large one
there is also a problem with radios with am sat button,


this is one of the best kits to input audio into a Toyota radio
