New Headunit Soon...

[matt5cott]

Ok I have a standard double din toyota HU in at the moment...

I got a cubby box sent over that sits below a single din HU, so that should work out fine.

However, anyone know if I need a wiring conversion kit? if so what one?

Its a 1998 model, not sure if it differs from earlier models or not

any idea why ??

could I get a cubby box from Halfords that would do ?

To replace the existing headunit in an MR2 (assuming it's not got the 'active speaker system') then you need a wiring loom, the PC2-17-4, available from Halfords for around £11.50.

I also replaced my Toyota blanking plate with a DIN Pocket from Halfords for £29.95, although can be found on the web for a bit cheaper, it's the FP-11-01.

I do have the active speaker system...

I bout the £11.50 part to find it was the wrong one... so I had to order the one for the active speaker setup. It cost me £45 !!

what does the FP-11-00 Facia Adaptor do ? Does it basically cover one slot up so you don't have a great hole under your single din unit?

I take that the mentioned bit of kit works ok to convert jap models? :)

Halfords just phoned me to say they can't get the adapter for about 3 weeks.. maybe more... god damn !!

anyone have one going ?
