Just bought a Pioneer DEH-p70BT, how hard i it to fit, been quoted £60 to fit it.

Is it a case of swapping the head unit and plugging back in the attachments alreday in teh present head unit into the new one.

But, yes, do it yourself. Search for the instructions on here and, as Mark says, depending on what you currently have order in the fascia surround and/or Toyota-ISO connector and away you go.

I saved £120 fitting mine, plus there's the satisfaction of having done it yourself.
