hi,
I am looking into installing a new head unit and 6" front speakers into the doors at the front. I have the original toyota cassette player and speakers but do not like it. is it easy to swap this system and put in a Sony DAB stero and infinity componant speakers? http://shop.audioimages.co.uk/sony-cdx-dab...rol-p-1049.html http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-...0cs_p-22418.htm Could a novice like myself do this? Does it require expert installation? Do I need to mess around with any of the car's electrical systems eg affecting the fuse box etc? sorry i dont know much about cars! thanks |

Installing a head unit is real simple. not sure about the speakers.
As a guy up top said definitely buy an adapter to hook the head unit into the main loom (you dont want to cutting the loom) and use connectors not insulation tape if you have to cut the adapter. Mine just plugged straight in. I would personally cable tie or tape all the cables together once you have finished so that it is tidy and they wont vibrate themselves loose or create rattles. It is kinda scary how easy it is to remove the head unit from our cars. :S --------------------  1994年 トヨタ 神々しい My Facebook My Bebo QUOTE (loll6g @ Nov 6, 2008 - 5:53 AM) automatics are for lazy ass drivers who jst want there car so that they can look cool |
