I still have the kw-z1000 so I’m good
Call me crazy but I can’t find the HDMI input
Gee….I was hoping to see the mounting points, the back of the radio, o r something. Is this just a replacement for the factory floating touchscreen? If so, still pretty cool.

I just checked, it does look good for a head unit upgrade on that car.
Will it fit in a 2022 toyota corolla hatchback se?
I do not know, maybe the community can answer this question?
It’s fundamentally a single din head unit.
The “floating” detail refers to how the huge screen suspended out in front of the head unit often blocks other car dashboard control panels. It allows you to suspend the screen a bit more right, left, up, or down to try to not block those controls.
While that generation Corolla doesn’t have a single din unit specifically, it’s very close not only to a single din chassis, but the overall format is very much like this unit. You are lucky, a screen like this wouldn’t block anything. Great choice.
I haven’t personally done one, but they sell dash kits to adapt a single din head unit. Most cars of the past 20 or 30 years require a dash kit for fitting a head unit and a wiring harness adapter. Buy those and this will install like factory and look good.
