Title: Single DIN adapter and cabling.
Post by: tricky1138 on July 11, 2013, 11:10
Well finally decided that I might as well just put my old Sony single DIN radio rather than save up and get a double DIN!

Is this the correct adapter for it or does anyone else have any recommendations?

Also guessing I need a Toyota to ISO wiring adapter? This one OK?

Do I need anything else?

Hi! That looks like the right stuff, I did this job and it is a bit if a big as you have to disassemble most of the centre console to swap the stereos over. Read the guide for your new stereo about the aerial mast power etc. A volt meter is useful if you're having problems. I would recommend a stereo with Bluetooth, they are really convenient for phone connectivity and for audio. I personally don't like the idea of having to keep the head unit in, as a lot if double dins seem to.
