How Does The Original Headunit Come Out?

[GTant]

as above in my rev 2, 1993

[Bibbs]

Take out the dash ..

Unclip the gear stick gator and then unclip the small surround ..

Take out the ashtray and remover the two screws ..

Undo the screw above your left knee (in the drivers seat) ..

Then pull the whole surround out ..

Unclip your hazards and ciggy lighter

There sould then be two brackets and 4 bolts and the whole thing comes out ..

Oh and when putting it all back .. your indicators will not work unless you re-plug your hazard button back in ..

is that talking from experiance?

cheers mate

[Bibbs]

yeah .. got a mile down the road and wanted to turn right .. ARGH !!!

[GTant]

:D

do i need a facia adapter to hold my single DIN headunit? or does the fat piece of plastic saying toyota stay, then the headunit fits above?

[Bibbs]

you'll need to add the brackets to the sides of your headunit .. the Toyota bit is a blanking plate (like the front of PC's) cause you haven't got the optional CD player ..

[Bibbs]

A harness adaptor .. to plug the MR2 loom into a generic one for your headunit ..

If you want to spend some money you can always invest in a little cubby to keep your sunnies/CDs in. It replaces that horrible bulgy thing that blanks off the other DIN hole. Part number 55521-16030 at £10.72 + VAT from Mr T.

[GTant]

cool

does any single DIN headunit fit in the hole?

[DeusMR2]

yes mate any single din will do.

I take it you have the passive audio system in which case you'll need autoleads adaptor PC9-406.

I dunno bout other headunits but my Sony screwed right into the metal brackets that were secured on the toyota headunit.

[GTant]

this is the wire that is in the back on the original head-unit..

can i still get a autoleads lead for this? anyone know which one?

You'll need an "Autoleads" PC9-406 adapter.

You'll have 2 amplifiers behind the passenger side rear quarter panel which power your Speakers and subs. This adapter enables you to utalise the factory amps with your new head unit. :)

Anyone got any pics of that CD holder thingy mentioned in this post up top end!!!! I have a gap there i need to fill!

[DeusMR2]

mate you need PC9-411! that adaptor is the same as my one had, i think it was for the stereos with the active system and/or DSP music processing.

[TheNissanMan]

where in the country are you fella, complete the location bit of your profile, you never know someone may live just around the corner and be able to offer you a hand...

[GTant]

so do i need the PC9-411 or the PC9-406 from this pic? this is the connector that goes into the back of my standard head-unit

went to Halfords and they have to order the part in!

[JohnnyC]

Here's what I found from a bit of Google'ing:

PC9-406 for active system between Apr 1990 - January 1994

PC9-411 for active system between Jan 1994 - April 2000

And what I knew beforehand:

PC2-17-4 for non-active system.
