Yep - the Sony was fitted to pre-2003 cars and is marked as a Sony item, the later Toyota item is marked as a Toyota item..

Easiest way to tell  s;) ;) s;)

Here we go - did some searching and found a pic of the Sony unit.

If it looks like this, it's the early Sony model:

If it looks like the one in this eBay advert (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300059578368&rd=1&rd=1#ebayphotohosting) then it's the new Toyota (or 'Fisher-Price' as we call it around here) model.
