Replace factory stereo with aftermarket stereo on soarer

Post by evil_evo »

Hi Guy,

I have already installed a aftermarket stereo on my Soarer however there are few gaps between Stereo and Pocket.

So I was wondering whether anyone knows if there is a such kit available in NZ which will replace the double din stereo with single din?

I did find something like this : http://www.amazon.com/Metra-99-8157B-Si ... B001TJGA96

Or gotta do this http://www.clublexus.com/forums/lexus-a ... units.html

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can get metra ones or similar from Repco. Got one for my celsior from there. Combined with wiring adaptors it was a 10 minute job

Well on their website they only have 6 unit available in NZ which suggest might be discontinued also not even sure whether what they have left is for Toyota ...

I will call and find out ..

Rapid Radio also doesnt have them, well they couldn't even find these which is bit strange.

Get the one from Amazon?

Stuff arrives pretty quickly and easily

Otherwise, I have found that Toyota frequently stock adapter brackets that match the texture and colour of the dash
