Head Unit Adapter

[corollags]

Hey Guys!

IM in the process of removing the head unit from my car and replacing it with a CD player. I hav read the instructions on how to remove the pod to get the head unit out, but I was wondering if I need an adapter or facia to put the new head unit in?

Any help is appreciated!

you say "pod", therefore i'm guessing ur corolla is one of the 98 - 2000 models.

like this:

if so, then you do not need a adaptor.

You might needan adaptor to connect the Toyota wiring to the head unit- Halfords or Motorworld should help there.

Hi John,

Would that apply to the MR2's wiring as well?

Hi Earl - don't know jack about MR2s but knowing Toyota I would think that they have standard Toyota connections on the wiring loom and you will need a specific adaptor from the head unit to the loom. I don't know why they would do otherwise - but I've been wrong before - AND I'll be wrong again :shutit:

Off topic - was it you who flashed headlights at me one day last week on Cowbridge Road??

The mainconnectors for the radio is the same at every Toyota so the Toyota-connector --> ISO-connector -adapter will fit every Toyota and every radio with ISO-connectors.
