I'm very confused on what 'non-standard sources' has to do at all with fitment and build quality of a unit. Higher quality, more control, and lower price tag are all reasons most people go towards aftermarket units. Just because your local Best Buy doesn't stock it doesn't mean there's a problem with it.
Also, these 'Toyota testing standards' (if they even exist for the audio system) have produced some notoriously crappy systems, over and over. I would actually use that as a reason
not to use their stock components.
I feel like you're stuck in the jargon matrix. The words sound good coming out, but really in the end, you aren't saying anything of substance.
