Aftermarket CD Player installation Options

[valerit1]

Hi all,

I got a CD-40z Nakamishi cd player I would like to install
in my 1995 celica GT instead of the factory cassette unit.
How difficult is it to do it yourself, what is involved and
most importanly, is there a wiring set available which would allow me to
plug the player directly into the OEM system without any cutting/slicing.
Any info/experience would be greatly appreciated1
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well I got a dash kit too, just because i wanted to have a place to put my Cd's in. But its not really needed, especially because u had cassete stock which comes with a cover. So just reuse that and you will be fine.
To get the dash kit, check out walmart and if they dont have it go to pretty much any car shop (pepboys, advanced auto parts, autozone) they will prolly have it. I bought mine from an AudioShop just because I chill there a lot. It should cost no more then $20. And most of the dash kits that u buy are made for a bunch of cars, like all honda's and toyotas so you will have to read the manual to get the pieces fit. Which should be that hard because you only need two pieces and reuse your stock metal braket that holds the stereo.

Well, I did everything - and ended up with one problem. My player has one blue wire and
the harness has two- one plain and one with a stripe. I connected plain ones and left the
striped unused. Immediately upon pluging in my power antenna rose and no matter
what - turning on/off, etc. - stayed up (no jokes, please). Seriously, I do not want it up
all the time, and it is broken anyway. What went wrong? Blue is for the antenna, i understand.
