Oh ok. Does the hu sits flush on the dashboard or I would need a mount?

Look at the first picture contained in the very first message of this thread. The Scion head unit is a bit wider than a double DIN head unit by about 3/8" on each side. So you will need some kind of kit to mount an aftermarket double DIN head unit into the dash, if for no other reason, to fill in the gaps. (Someone jump in and say something if I'm mistaken.)

BrickPig is right, My xB came with the Pioneer Special head unit since it was the RS, and when I installed my subs there is a plastic bracket that attaches to the sides to make the double din look flush. If you want I can post some pics of what it looks like after I get home from work tomorrow.

yup, my double din unit needed a mounting kit, it's not uncommon.

I have the same unit and you will need a mounting kit which will mainly cover the sides so there's no gap - this unit is sweet and user friendly- enjoy!
