New Head Unit

[Goggy]

Hi I have a 2005 4.2 XTR

I am thinking of changing my cd head unit for a Dvd one Sony XAV 60

I know there is a link somewere on here but i can't find it

Please can any one tell me how to remove the silver trim at the side of the head unit without breaking them

also it says in the book supplied with the dvd that I need to connect a wire to the handbreake switch so I can't watch dvd's on the move(but it does not say + or -)has any one any idea ?? or does it not matter ??

Thanks Alan

Many thanks

Alan

The silver trim literally just levers off, Alan, and on recommendation I bought a trim removal tool on eBay, but a properly masked and padded screwdriver will do in an emergency....easy does it obviously.

Your current unit is well secured in place by 4 either 8mm or 10mm hex bolts (very short), two top and two bottom. The bottom two are well recessed, and the game I played was not to drop them down the heater vent channel....failed miserably.

After that, strong fingers required to pull off the Toyota multi-plugs supplying the unit, and that's you...

Next time Kev, put a small ball of Blu-Tac inside your socket. Not Guaranteed but usually works
