#128 of 157 2009 Matrix Double-Din Dash Kit by tucsondivots Jun 19, 2008 (7:42 pm)
I just bought my 2009 Matrix and want to change out the factory stereo for an aftermarket one. Has anyone found a source for the dash kit to allow installation of a double-din after market unit? Metra has announced one but it is a couple of months away. Crutchfield and Scosche are also "no". Custom made is about $300.   If anyone knows of someone who makes these please let me know. Thanks

Replying to: nippononly (Jul 11, 2008 9:00 am) I also got about 38 mpg last night! Actually a little bit higher. I'm thrilled. I have a 2007 standard transmission Matrix. Replies to this message: nippononly (Jul 11, 2008 10:52 pm) matrixgirl09 (Jul 15, 2008 9:13 am)

Been seeing right at 31 mpg overall - about 70% highway - about what I thought it would do. Think Toyota is making a mistake by limiting the 1.8L engine to the base model only,while the Camry drivetrain does make a difference in power and relative smoothness, it was irrating that I couldn't get all the available options and still get the FE advantages of the samller engine.

Replying to: captain2 (Jul 29, 2008 10:13 am) This new Dual VVT-i engine is sweet. I too wish car makers would stop forcing us into larger engines to get fog lights.   It may be that Toyota is going to have to deal with a glut of older-single VVT-i 2.4's with the impending release of the 2.5L. It may have Dual VVT-i or even Valvematic. I read where it may make its first appearance in the '09 RAV-4.   Curious - what is your top-gear RPM at 60 mph - or more realistically (for me) 70 and 80 mph? With the 2.4L Matrix S that I just rented, it's 2250 RPM at 70 and 2500 at 80. Very smooth, as well. Replies to this message: captain2 (Jul 30, 2008 8:02 am)
