My Firestorm arrived today, but the radio didn't

Ouch! That would stink. The first thing I did in mine is hook up my iPod, gotta have my driving music!

At least they'll get you the stereo quickly.

All radios are dealer installed items. If all cars came with the stock radio installed at the factory, the dealers would have bunch of "open box"/ slighty used radios for all the customers that got the dealer installed nav system.

Also, I asked if they would discount the car by the price of the stock system but they said they couldn't. I will be getting the stock stereo as soon as it arrives.

My initial driving impressions would just be a rehash of what everybody else is saying, although on a negative note, I do find the clutch pedal to be way too light. Everything else is awesome (except for the tires).

It has been raining all day, so I will take more pictures when I can.

accessories are either port installed or dealer. your dealer ordered your car without the radio so the port did not install it.

you should still get a radio because its standard with the car they just need to order you one. even if you don't want the stock head unit you can always sell it. there's plenty of toyota owners wanting the scion decks because of their factory ports and fitment.

So by the looks of the empty din space there, the radio is held in by a couple bolts on each of the two HU brackets. Does that dash panel/radio bezel pop strait out? Are there other panels that need to be removed prior to that bezel? From what i read on the HU instruction manual the stock HU has a rca sub outputs. I want to do a temp install of my old sub and amp until someone makes a nice box for our cars.

both the fake carbon fiber panels needs to be removed in order to take the HU brackets off. the panels come right off cause theyre held by clips

So just to clarify, you are basically saying the pass. side faux carbon panel has to come off first and then the HU bezel?

you are correct

I ended up putting an aftermarket unit in before the stock one came in so I currently have a stock radio in an unopened box.
