What size is the radio in the Hilux Vigo?
The Hilux Vigo uses different radio sizes depending on year and trim. In general, late-era Vigo models commonly have a 2-DIN head unit, while earlier base trims often came with a 1-DIN unit.
Common configurations by year and market
Below are the typical configurations you’ll encounter in different markets and model years. Use this as a guide when replacing or upgrading the radio.
- 1-DIN head units (roughly 180 mm wide by 50 mm high) were commonly fitted to entry-level Vigo trims in the early years of production.
- 2-DIN head units (roughly 180 mm wide by 100 mm high) became standard on most mid- and high-spec Vigo trims, especially in markets that offered upgraded audio or navigation options.
- Some markets or special editions used a double-DIN with an integrated display or custom OEM navigation, still in the 2-DIN family, but the exact fit could require a specific fascia panel.
- Aftermarket replacements for the Hilux Vigo are widely available in 1-DIN and 2-DIN formats, but installation typically requires a dash kit and wiring harness adapters, plus potential steering wheel control adapters.
Note: Because there were multiple configurations across years and regions, always verify by measuring the dash slot or consulting your vehicle’s VIN and service documentation before buying a head unit.
How to verify your radio size
To confirm the correct size, remove the current radio or check the dash opening, and measure the width and height of the slot. The most common sizes you’ll see are 1-DIN (about 180 mm wide by 50 mm tall) and 2-DIN (about 180 mm wide by 100 mm tall). You may also encounter proprietary Toyota layouts requiring a specific fascia kit.
Summary
The Hilux Vigo's radio size is not universal; it depends on model year and market. Base trims tended toward 1-DIN, while most mid- to high-spec trims used 2-DIN head units, with some markets offering OEM navigation in a 2-DIN form. When upgrading, plan for a dash kit, harness, and potentially steering wheel controls to preserve features.
