Metra 95-8240B Double-DIN Dash Kit for Toyota Prius 2004-2009

I recently installed the Metra 95-8240B dash kit in my 2007 Prius and overall I’m pretty happy with it. The fit is actually really good once everything is lined up properly, and it gives the double DIN stereo a clean, almost factory look. The matte black finish matches the interior better than I expected, not 100% perfect but close enough that you don’t really notice. Install took a bit of time tho. The instructions are kinda basic and I had to look up a video to be sure I wasn’t messing anything up. Some of the clips felt a little flimsy at first, but once its all secured it holds pretty solid. Just take your time and don’t force anything or you might crack somthing. One small downside is there were tiny gaps on the sides after install, nothing major but if your picky about details you’ll probly notice it. Also the plastic doesn’t feel super premium, but for the price it’s honestly fine. Overall, good value and does what it’s supposed to do. Not perfect, but definetly worth it if your upgrading your Prius stereo. I’d recomend it 👍

It fit fine, it’s a softer plastic, so it has some give if you need to slightly adjust it. I did have to work with it if you want it to look perfect. When it fit into the “clips” as you push it in, sometimes one side would be lower than another,, so I’d fold up little pieces of paper, stick them in the radio “female” side to tighten up the fit. That allowed me to finetume the height of the fascia.

So when i looked up how to install a radio in the Prius I was like dang I have to dissemble like the whole front half of the interior. So I was going to pay to have someone put it in. So I can't say as to how easy it was to install the thing. but I can say that I did save a bunch of money on the install with bringing in my own mounting hardware. and I've had no problems with the radio not staying in place and it is where the oem radio was so I think giving this thing high marks is warranted. it does it job well and is cheaper then what you'd get otherwise.

This worked very well in my 2004 Prius, the worst part was disassembling the entire dash to change the stereo. 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. My biggest frustration, and I suppose this is partly Toyota's fault, is the temperature sensor. Toyota decided to mount the sensor in the stereo, so when you replace it, you need to find a new solution. This kit comes with a tiny resistor which can serve as a replacement sensor, but it will be stuck behind your radio. The issue is how they want you to install it is very janky if not a bit dangerous. I made it work, but I wonder if I could have just ignored that step and been fine anyway.

Nice fit!

Used this for my old 2005 Prius. The Bluetooth on the old display did not work and the GPS navigation wouldn’t update and was obsolete. Was able to find a double din radio that fit perfectly and now have a system that will connect with any phone

Even though it's just plastic, it seems sturdy enough for the job. And plastic helps modern head-ends with their WiFi and Bluetooth get their signal out The caveat: Metra helpfully includes a 68ohm resistor, with instructions for bodge wiring it into the back of the factory harness. This would be better served by pigtails on a proper connector. But that isn't the issue. The issue is that 68ohms doesn't work, or at least it did not for me. After putting everything together and seeing the dreaded "check connection" on the MFD Climate screen, I measured the resistor. It was dead on 68.0 ohm. But it did not work. The internet is full of this "68 ohm" recommendation. Where did it come from? I do not know. It is also full of people saying it doesn't work. What worked for me: I guessed that, since IEBus termination is 120ohm, maybe something close to 120 in parallel [60 ohm] might work better. Maybe y'all just got lucky with 68 and tolerance? I added a 330ohm resistor (ie something i had) to get a parallel 56ohm result And that worked just great

Got this kit Saturday afternoon and started disassembling my dash to get everything installed. When I opened the bracket bag there were 2 right plates in my kit. Makes it really hard to finish my install. Now my dash is apart and I don't have what I need to put it together. Awesome. Thanks Metra. Maybe I can drive an hour to Charlottesville to the Crutchfield store to get another one. Hopefully it has 2 lefts.

Perfect fit for 2008 prius double din
