Exact Fit 2018 Corolla
This radio is worth it for the CarPlay feature alone. There are a few draw backs tho, not sure if its how I installed it but i am no longer getting good radio reception not a big deal for me but could be a drawback.Installation is easy if you know what you are doing, you will have to adjust the original OEM brackets to get it to fit accordingly.

Nice unit but has some issues
I purchased this unit over competitors because it specifically indicated it came with a wiring harness which made connection to my toyota factory connectors easy, rather than needing to mess with cutting wires or making custom cables to connect the unit.Overall, the unit is decent and was pretty easy to install. There is a video on youtube which illustrates the process. It involved removing a few snap-in trim pieces. The most difficult part of the install was installing the included GPS antenna and microphone and snakeing the cables down the passenger pillar and then under the dash back to the radio install location. Unfortunately the unit itself does not come with any written installation instructions, so the Youtube video is your only option. There is a connection diagram on the top of the radio which helps connect the cables. Fortunately each of the cables is a different size so its really impossible to mess up.After dismantling my dash and disconnecting the factory radio, when I went to connect up all the wires I had two extra factory cables which didn't connect to the new unit. One was for the XM radio antenna, the other was for the factory GPS antenna. I have to admit I was disappointed I couldn't connect my factory GPS antenna and instead had to connect the window stick-on GPS antenna to get GPS functionality. It would be ideal if an option could be made available for an adapter to convert the factory GPS antenna connector to the barrel connector on the rear of the radio.The unit has the ability to connect 3 USB ports. My 2017 SE had a single USB port on the console, so I took an opportunity to purchase a couple of extra USB connectors specifically made for Corollas and installed them in my console. Based on the video, which seemed to indicate the included audio microphone cable was a bit short, I also purchased an audio extension cable. As it turned out, I didn't need the extension cable, I put the antenna on the plastic housing above the rear view mirror, and had plenty of cable to rear the radio.I need to note in my review that, unlike some other reviewers, I did not experience an issue with my mounting brackets which required me to make modifications. Not sure why this is, perhaps those reviews are from older versions of the product and the issue has been address. Maybe its just due to the brackets I had with my radio, versus someone else who may have had the premium radio, or maybe its because my Corolla was a 2017 SE and not a 2018, etc.After connecting all the cables, I powered up the car and the radio, and everything worked great! So i was ready to go with putting everything back together. Reconstruction was a snap -- I stuffed all the cables in, inserted the radio, screwed it back in place, and then replaced all the trim pieces I removed.My total install time was about an hour, but now that I know how its done I could probably do it again in half the time.Now to my complaints about the product which are mere annoyances and one which is a complete deal-breaker for me.a. The unit takes an insane amount of time to boot up. When you power on the car, there is a product boot screen that appears for a period of time. This then disappears, and the Toyota startup screen (the one you normally get on the stock radio) appears. Then, finally, you get an "Andoid is starting" message, and finally, after 45 seconds, the product's home screen shows up and the unit becomes usable.b. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove widgets from the home screen. I have tried everything I can think of from my years of using Android phones, but nothing works. There is no way I can see to delete a home page widget, and since the unit comes "factory installed" with 4 widgets, you cannot add a widget of your choice. The included "user manual" does not discuss this whatsoever. If someone knows how to, post a follow up to my review.c. Okay, the deal-breaker for me. The rear view camera. The unit is advertised as supporting the factory backup camera. And, it does. Well, sort of.Due to the insane amount of time it takes for the system to boot up, if you need the backup camera to be functional in order to drive when you get in your car, you're going to have to start your car and wait a minute before you actually leave. Now, some people may say "but you should warm up your vehicle before driving it!" but that is a fallacy from the olden-days of cars when they had carburerators (I'm old so remember those days) and the vehicles needed to warm up to operate efficiently.My problem is, even if I wait a minute or two after starting the car to put the car in reverse, I get a huge triangle with an exclamation point in the center. The manual states this is a communication issue with the rear camera. However, after a random period of time -- sometimes 1 minute, sometimes 5 minutes -- putting the vehicle in reverse WILL get the factory backup camera to work. There's no rhyme nor reason as to why it takes longer some times than others.When the backup camera does function, the image is grainy, and it "lags" a second or two from where you really are. In other words, it takes a second for the unit to process the factory camera image and display it. It is not in "real time". It is enough of a lag to be noticable. Perhaps the granularity and the lag is due to the factory camera not being the same resolution as the display unit, and so there is some video processing scalability issues.Not having reliable access to the factory backup camera is a real deal breaker for me. Otherwise, i really liked the unit despite the other couple of minor annoyances I could live with, unfortunately this one I cannot. Even if I overlooked the need to wait a full minute for the unit to boot before being able to back up, the fact that the unit displays an error for a random amount of time after booting simply is unacceptable.So, for the moment, I'll be replacing this unit with my factory radio and look into other alternatives.

Does not fit in 2018 corrola without modification needed to brackets
The product seems to be made well, but there is no included brackets. If you want to install in 2018 corrola you will have to modify your bracket. Also the radio shown in the instructional video is not the same make as the one you receive, the holes don't match.

No encabaja mi reproductor
El equipo funciona perfectamente, pero no puedo hacer que encanase bien, si instalo los tornillos en su lugar correcto pues el reproductor me queda sobresaliente de la consola y no tengo opción para ponerlos más atrás porque no tengo espacio donde poner los tornillos no que hacer

Some issues with installation
2018 Corolla LETech support is reasonably responsive.Circuit box on the back of the display had to be moved (easy enough).Tech support suggested bracket hole/screw location does not work correctly. As of not I can't find a correct screw hole, and the unit is not screwed into the bracket, held in place by the dash and the bracket (which is not fixed to the unit). Will likely have to drill new holes int he bracket.

AWESOME RADIO WITH TONS OF FEATURES
This radio is Awesome with tons of features. Installation on my 2018 Toyota required minor modifications.1. In my case had to filed both mounting brackets on one end and re-position (2) screws so that they are flushed with the back of the front panel. This way only (2) screws are required to match the 2 mounting threaded holes aligned in a vertical position.2. After radio installation, the plastic cover was not flushed with the radio front panel. Need it to position small metal washers behind the mounting brackets to complete the installation. Note: This was a trial and error until the radio was flushed with the front panel. The steel washers were held in place with masking tape before the install. Be careful when attaching the screws, during the whole installation process two of the screws fell off and were never found.3. Finally after the complete install, the radio was noisy and did not work at all. Had to remove the radio, the antenna was plugged in but forgot to connect the connector attached to the antenna with the mating connector located on the main radio wire harness.4. The radio work flawlessly after mating the connectors from 3 above.5. This radio has tons of features and it is worth the money. Read the manual for setting up the features that you need/like and proper configuration6. Currently trying to put all my music to the SD card. The manual explain that the SD card supports up to 64 GB.7. Overall, i am very please with the radio performance. So far everything is working beautiful ! !
