Description
9-Inch Trapezoid Head Unit Fascia Toyota RAV4 XA40 Series 2014–2018. Covers GX, GXL, and Cruiser Variants. OEM-Style Dashboard Integration. Fascia Panel Only. Not Compatible with 2019+ RAV4.
Product Overview
The Stinger SF9-TY03 is a vehicle-specific 9-inch trapezoid head unit fascia designed for the Toyota RAV4 XA40 Series (fourth-generation, 2014–2018). The XA40 RAV4 features a trapezoid-shaped factory dash aperture wider at the top than the bottom which standard rectangular double DIN fascias cannot accommodate. The SF9-TY03 is precision-moulded for this trapezoid geometry across all XA40 trim levels, covering GX, GXL, and Cruiser variants for the complete 2014–2018 production run. Confirmed compatible head units include Alpine INE-AW4095, Alpine INE-AX809, Kenwood DMX80AXS, Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT, and Aerpro AM9X.
The SF9-TY03 is not compatible with the 2019 and newer fifth-generation RAV4 (XA50 chassis), which has a completely redesigned dashboard requiring a different fascia. The SF9-TY03 is injection-moulded in UV-resistant ABS with a factory colour-matched finish (typically black or charcoal confirm the exact colour from the official Stinger SF9-TY03 product page before publishing). Wiring harness, antenna adaptor, steering wheel control interface, and reverse camera retention harness are not included and must be purchased separately.

Features & Benefits
-
XA40-Specific Trapezoid Fitment — All Trims Precision-moulded for the XA40 RAV4 factory dashboard across GX, GXL, and Cruiser variants for the full 2014–2018 production run. The trapezoid geometry provides flush fitment that the flat-faced factory opening requires.
-
9-Inch Format — Standard Double DIN Will Not Fit The XA40 RAV4's trapezoid aperture cannot accept standard rectangular double DIN fascias without visible gaps. The SF9-TY03's trapezoid-specific design ensures secure, gap-free head unit mounting.
-
Not Compatible with 2019+ XA50 RAV4 The fifth-generation RAV4 (XA50, 2019 onwards) has a completely redesigned dashboard. The SF9-TY03 covers the XA40 generation only. Confirm the chassis generation before purchasing.
-
Factory Finish — UV-Resistant ABS Moulded to match the XA40 RAV4 factory dashboard finish, maintaining the RAV4's refined family SUV aesthetic after installation.
-
Fascia Panel Only — Installer Flexibility Supplied as the fascia alone, allowing installers to source the correct wiring harness, SWC interface, and accessories for the specific vehicle's equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SF9-TY03 cover all trim levels of the XA40 RAV4?
Yes — the SF9-TY03 covers GX, GXL, and Cruiser trim levels of the Toyota RAV4 XA40 Series for the complete 2014–2018 production run.
Is the SF9-TY03 compatible with 2019 or newer RAV4 models?
No — the SF9-TY03 is for the XA40 fourth-generation RAV4 (2014–2018) only. The 2019 and newer XA50 RAV4 features a completely redesigned dashboard requiring a different fascia. Confirm the chassis generation before purchasing.
Does the SF9-TY03 include wiring harnesses or installation accessories?
No — the SF9-TY03 is a fascia panel only. A Toyota RAV4 XA40-specific wiring harness, antenna adaptor, SWC interface, and reverse camera retention harness are all required separately.
Will I retain my factory steering wheel controls and reverse camera?
The SF9-TY03 fascia is a passive physical panel and does not affect factory features. Retaining steering wheel controls requires a separate SWC interface, and retaining the factory reverse camera requires an appropriate camera retention harness — both sold separately.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes — ensuring correct wiring harness connections, SWC programming, and camera retention integration in the XA40 RAV4 benefits from professional installation by a qualified car audio installer.
