Sweet! Not sure about the green though? I'm a stickler for the stereo matching the cars illumination.

LOOKS GREAT
DID IT FIT IN TO THE ORIGINAL FASCIA / SURROUND?
OR DID YOU NEED TO BUY AN FASCIA ADAPTOR PANEL SURROUND KIT ?

I really seriously need to do this, I hate messing around with CDs!!!! Was it expensive to do? How long did it take you?

I too would be interested in where you got the side facia adaptors from as I have just bought a very similar JVC unit (KW-DB60AT)

Stereo looks awesome.

I've just ordered a new unit for mine as well as the recommended ebay side facia and connector mentioned a few posts back.
Just a quick question. My facelift stock unit has 4 connectors going to the back of it plus aerial cable. The loom that comes with the side facia only appears to have 2 connectors on it.

Have i ordered the wrong connector kit?

Cheers

I was thinking of doing that or replacing the coin holder with a rocker switch. Problem is... cant find a blank rocker switch to fit the gap.

I'm in the same boat, got the Connects2 Toyota ISO adapter, which has 2 plugs, but there are 4 going into the OEM headunit. Of the 2 that connect to the adapter one looks like it only has one wire - what appears to be the speaker cables are on other plugs. My car has tweeters in the doors as well as the main speaker, does this make a difference?

I'll try a test fit later, as even though they were ordered at the same time the ISO adapter has arrived, but the facia adapter hasn't.

I tested the ISO adapter the other day, and despite not using 2 of the connectors to the OEM head unit my Aloine head unit seemed to work fine. My concern was that the tweeters wouldn't be connected, but dropping the bass & raising the treble showed they were working. The facia kit arrived today, so I can crack on with fitting it all this afternoon.

Help!!!

I bought a new head unit but when trying to remove the factory one it has a built in what looks like power cable coming from what would be the back left hand corner that goes towards the gear stick.

How do I remove this and reconnect my CD player
