Hey guys, I recently got a 1.4 corolla T2 facelift. I think that adding a aftermarket headunit will really spoil the look on the interior maybe some pictures of yours will change my mind? I have thought about a connect2 add on thing but I might want to add a amp/comps/sub in the future (used to have a sub).

Also if anyone could recommend cheap mods for the car i would be grateful. :)

Thanks

Heres a picture of my new baby :P

All the pics is what i've had in my car at one point, or still have :lol:

There are lots of other peeps with different installs, so just sit and wait to see whatelse pops up too, and see which one you like the look of

Bing's setup is really clean, everything is behind oem panels (as far as I know) and my own sound installation is the same. I have an Alpine single DIN unit. Colour match with clocks is perfect as is the colour match of the fascia kit with the dash, can't tell it's not factory install.

I've also changed the colour of the heater dials so it all matches.

You may find if your dash has the gap where it meets the radio surround it closes up a little bit with a aftermarket head unit

fascia has a matte finish to match the rest.

Hi Hozer,

Yes your fascia adaptor looks a really good match, can I ask the make and model number of it as I might be after one soon.

thanks

its one of THESE (i didnt buy it from this guy maybe you can find one cheaper but that's the model)

They say its black but when you see the color in person you can really see the difference it has like a bluish look so for the finish i just got a spray can of MATT Black paint gave it 2 or 3 coats and it was good to go. in direct sunlight you can spot a bit of a difference but from a side view looks similar to the dash.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum, there are quiet a few posts dealing with aftermaket audio upgrades for the old Corolla.

Replacing the stock front Speakers with some similar sized decent quality ones gives a good sound mprovement.

You can fit quite a few aftermarket head units from simple single din, double din or one of the more modern android type units.

Most are a reasonably easy diy fitting, but on your 2002 model, the steering wheel audio controls are not compatible with the modern units, unless you fit one of these boards or similar.

As you will see near the end of that thread is a picture of the £25 touch screen head unit we fitted,  yes it is new!   - we put all our music onto its SD card, you can plug in a usb stick, you can tether your phone etc etc,  might be a bit slow compared to the expensive branded units,  but suits us fine.
