Bloody awfull !!

Huge 10mm gap at the top and bottom and if you look into the side you can see the chassis of the head unit !

Halfords don't keep the Autoleads adaptor, need to find a better designed solution.....

it works fine if you ordered the right one, you also need the Toyota Trim ring though, and that applies to the autoleads as well.

Hi Mark;

This is for the RAV4 / MR2 so it must be the right one !

What is the toyota trim ring

?

look at the ash tray unit and you can see what appears to be a plastic trim around it, there is another one you can buy that goes over the stero adaptor.

I seem to have mislaid teh part number but it only around £7

markiii · July 27, 2004, 10:51

55423-17040

Thanx, but I just called Toyota and according to them there's no such part number ?!

Its the very same part number thats moulded in to the '03 trim ring thats sat here in front of me. Find a dealer who knows how to use the Search... s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Its 100% correct. Want proof? heres a quote on the same subject from spydermagazine:

"Here is the factory trim ring and the trim ring that came with the stereo kit side by side. They are 100% identical and share the same part # 55423-17040. "

Once again, a dealer who cannot be bothered to look further than the end of his nose. Try Ian Le Count at Jemca Metro...

Just called them again, they have searched for the part number, I said that the number was stamped on the plastic moulding but they still could not find it s:(
