I assume I'd need something along these lines:

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207017...s.html?tp=2977
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_12040LX...r.html?tp=2569

That should cover the bezel, front speaker connection, rear speaker connection, and antenna - Don't think I'll need a harness for the 16-pin connector since that just provides a way to get an RCA video in for the reverse camera and a connection to the VSS (assuming the TUN21A already has an RCA video in and doesn't care about VSS). I'd still be missing a harness for the 28-pin SWC/MIC/AUX connector but I assume the TUN21A has its own connections for most of that but the Reverse Gear signal is on that harness as well which the reverse camera requires... Is there an aftermarket harness adapter for this thing as well?

Bugger, didn't realise I might need extra stuff for my T7019A.
@2forme do I need these three things (with antenna adaptor changed to he one @sav suggests)???

I'm going to get a guy to install it so is this stuff the should have handy or should I get it shipped in.

Good news, my unit is sitting waiting for customs clearance in New Zealand.

I don't think you need much for the T7019. Mine came with a wiring harness that was just plug and play.

Haven't got one yet. Gonna see hat my installer has first.

First step will be getting power to it, rooting and trying to get Torque (elm327) or more likely carscope (OB-link) working.

I'm not going to bother installing unless I can get that working first.

Won't be much of a DIY as I'm going to need help!

@Ghostmerlott looks like this one will ship to us http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Replaceab...fda9d5a&_uhb=1

Does the T7019A need a dash kit or is it a perfect fit since it's for a Toyota? So is it pretty much plug and play aside from needing an antenna adapter? Also are you able to change the color of the LED's or are they only green like in the picture? Has this pirticular unit been rooted? Thanks guys!

The green LEDs need to be removed and replaced with red/orange ones, its not a simple (I am imagining myself!) pluck n stick ops..I seen somewhere someone had a clip on youtube on how he replaced the LEDs... they are super tiny.. he needed a microscope or something.. to first scrap out the existing ones and then use a a pair of tweezers to hold and solder the new ones in... its not difficult for blokes who have done it before I reckon...

Dang, so this unit is a perfect fit in the dash, but has microscopic green leds.. -_- of all colors, green.. Aha

Edit: so even the harness is plug and play? No need for aftermarket one?

@2forme will know about fitment possibly but the reality is that I don't think any of us have installed this unit yet or rooted it.

Supplier tells me @2forme's root files should work with this unit.

I should know in a week or two!

Eagerly waiting for results, i think if it's a perfect fit/rootable, plug and play, I'll deal with the green led's if they're too hard to swap out!

Isn't that one not a perfect fit and requires aftermarket harness etc?

They all need the dash kit , there are gaps on the left n right.. You have got a choice of the Metra or Beatsonic..

Hmm, I thought the unit with green led's was a little wider, i really wish someone would make a dash kit that wouldn't need any modification..

But the harness is plug and play on the green one right?
