Do I need to cut my headliner to fit it into a 2005 Lexus GX 470?

The only cutting required would be holes for the screws and wires. I ended up just putting the brace on the inside of the headliner and mounting the tv to it. Depending on your fabric you may need to actually brace it to the bar going across the inside of your roof (would actually be a good idea to do any ways).

You need to get the shades for exact model. I tried then on my 2010 Lexus RX-350 and they are nor exact size. Contact the company and get the proper ones for your make and model.

Said the same thing about my Acura RSX but you have to make it fit either with an adapter or doing some cutting either of the speaker or the car. Mine was so easy to make fit but it might be a little more work for yours NOT SURE? Good luck. Sounds great now a good choice IMHO.

There is no easy fix for a sagging headliner other than replace the whole thing. If you want an easy fix just grab a couple of cardboard pins and stick them to the headliner where it is sagging. But if you want it done right you need to replace it all. It is not as hard as it sounds. Here is a detailed video that I followed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MmT72NDtTs

If your vehicle has an auto dimming mirror, factory installed, then you already have a 12V source coming out of you headliner. If you dont, then you want to wire it from a good 12v source and ground, run it up the headliner and down an A-pillar. If you really dont want to do that, do what I did and pay someone to professionally install it.

Just install the factory tune before you bring it in and there is no cause for concern. Depending on the dealer you could just leave the tune in. Some will have a hissy fit, some won't. All depends on your local dealer.

It may not be a fit.I have a Highlander from 2004 and corresponding Lexus was a RX 330 from those years.However, I am not 100% sure.

The simple answer is, I don't know. The long answer is, 30 by 15 inches inches isn't a very big hole. Get your tape measure out, and do some measuring. You have to make sure the frame is back far enough so it won't interfere with the sun visors. The vehicle can't have a roof-mounted console, because you would cut into the console. the inside roof lining, needs to befairly uniform in depth because it gets cut out also, of course, and you probably want the headliner to look symmetrical. Also you have to take into consideration if there is a dome light, which you may cut out in this application. If so, then you'd have to figure out how to move the dome light back further, and wire it back up. The simple answer is, I don't know.

This has to be hard wired into you vehicle through a 12 volt wire. It requires you to cut your headliner, as do any of the roof mount systems you will look at. If you don't know what your doing I would have a professional install one for you, depending on the vehicle year make and model it can be fairly easy to very tricky.

It's not intended to be cut from the factory. If you're wanting to take a risk and customize then here are my thoughts... I would not cut the top (with the axle where the shade rolls up), so that part will always be the stock width. I would say you can cut the shade material itself, along with the plastic at the bottom. You would basically end up with a shade that looks like this: \__/ Also, the material is a rubbery mesh, much like what you find on mesh style office chairs. It might start to fray if you cut it. Mine are stock and fray a bit anyways.

Yes, there is a "built-in trim kit" to use if you want it built in. maybe you can look up the information on installing it this way.

Yes but the wiring is involved as you have to use the dome light wires after removing the light then use the headliner ribs to mount and u have to make a 1/4 inch wood block to mount the unit to after mounting the block to the headliner metal supports .

yes you might need to trim some of the edges it fit my lexus es300 I only trimmed the back one in the center.

Yes, all you need to do is connect the wires. Getting the old headlights out was the hardest part for me. Make sure to adjust the aim before tightening bolts all the way.

It comes with a steel plate that you put on the back side of the headliner. You will need to find another support though, the headliner is not strong enough to hold it up.

On my 2013, yes I had to cut the liner...the instructions say to do so and there is a line on the mat to do it.
