Metra Toyota Highlander Single-DIN/Double-DIN Dash Kit

This Metra dash installation kit lets you install either a 2" (Single-DIN) or 4" (Double-DIN) aftermarket radio into 2008–2012 Toyota Highlander dashboards that did not come with factory navigation.

Replacing the factory head unit in a Highlander can be straightforward when you have a purpose-built dash kit. Metra engineered this trim and mounting assembly to reproduce the vehicle’s original look while providing a secure, factory-like fit for most standard aftermarket radios. It includes the pocket insert for single-DIN installs, mounting brackets, and detailed instructions so you can upgrade your infotainment without modifying the dashboard sheetmetal.

How does the kit let me choose between Single-DIN and Double-DIN radios?

The kit includes a snap-in ISO mount system and a custom trim ring that accepts either a 2" (single-DIN) radio with the supplied storage pocket installed beneath it, or a 4" (double-DIN) radio that uses the full opening. Swapping between configurations is tool-friendly and designed for repeatable installs.

• Patented quick-release, snap-in ISO mount for fast installs
• Included pocket fills the extra space for single-DIN installations
• Trim ring and brackets align with factory dash contours
• Works with standard aftermarket stereo dimensions

Will the finished dashboard look like the original vehicle interior?

Yes — the kit is molded from high-quality ABS and finished in a scratch-resistant matte black to match the Highlander’s factory trim. The contours and surface texture are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing dash so the installation appears factory-installed.

• ABS construction for a rigid, OEM-like feel
• Matte black paint matches stock dashboard finish
• No gap or uneven edges when installed correctly
• Brackets ensure secure retention and alignment

What hardware and support are included if I run into problems?

The kit ships with the necessary mounting brackets and clear installation instructions to complete the job. Metra also provides a daily tech support line so you can get guidance during installation or troubleshooting if needed.

• Mounting brackets and hardware included
• Step-by-step installation instructions supplied
• Tech support available seven days a week
• Made in the USA and compatible with Metra fitment guides

Are there compatibility limits I should check before ordering?

This dash kit is specifically made for 2008–2012 Toyota Highlander models that did not include factory navigation. It fits standard 2" or 4" aftermarket stereo dimensions, but you should confirm your planned radio’s measurements and consult Metra’s Vehicle Fit Guide for exact compatibility.

• Designed for Highlander models without factory NAV only
• Compatible with most standard-sized single- and double-DIN radios
• Verify your aftermarket radio dimensions before purchase
• Refer to Metra Electronics Vehicle Fit Guide for final confirmation
