You can only take yours out and see.

some model info would be required to know unit you are talking about.

If you had all the right wiring and gps antenna probably. Tonne of work involved and when powered up it will still be a Toyota headunit if you could live with that.

NO , it wont.

In theory, it probably would, but you'd need to make your own wiring harness - I can't imagine there being such thing as a VY -> Toyota wiring harness. Furthermore the HU may need to connect to the car's CANBUS system (which your VY doesn't have) in order to function properly. Really...given that a decent headunit is about $2 - 300 (even if it doesn't have GPS, etc), its not worth the effort.

Wiring is very very simple , **** I could make a harness in 5 minutes that will plug it straight in , the Toyota head unit is 20mm wider than the hole in your dash.

Forgot about the size difference. Have only installed dozens of them Won't fit at all. Back is standard double din but the front panel is wider.

I mean it will fit in the hole but as for looks , yeah well ....

Being a 2012 cruiser it will be even bigger than the standard VY deck anyway I think , there is a few variants though.

All of the ones I have done when you rip the toyota head unit out you need to install 2 plastic bits either side or you have a gap.
