Hi

I would like to replace the stock Radio in our 2003 MR2 Roadster with one that has GPS like this one

The probem is that the stock radio seem to have so many connectors going to it but the replacement one doesn't!
Also the replacement has RCA Audio connectors.

Is there a kit I can use to change all these?
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the stock radio?

Don't worry about all the extra leads. The socket number 11 is the important one. Halfrards do an adaptor to fit 11 to your in car leads, its about £9. You will need some filler in plastics as the radio is a bit narrower, these are available from e bay just search for double din adaptors.
The new unit looks very similar to the one I put in mine, labelled as "Pumpkin" but I suppose a factory in china churns these out and they get labelled by different companies.
Very pleased with mine once I sorted out the bluetooth for the phone.
With the adaptor it is easy to cut a few wires and do the aerial mod at the same time, just search on here
Cheers

Thanks Stewart
I take it socket 11 is the one at the bottom left of the photo above?
What about the audio RCA Cables that come with the new radio how will I connect the Audio? cut and solder?
The size of the new unit is 180x160x100mm is this to wide?

Sorry for all the questions but I have only ever fitted a single din head units never fitted a Double din before.

Just ordered one of these for £3!

That is the baby! Toyota to ISO. As for RCA cables, you don't need them unless you are running an amp. Are you? If not then all your speakers will run directly off the stereo as before  s:) :) s:)

When I referred to socket 11 it was from the photo gallery of your new replacement radio, but you have ordered the correct lead. I think you will find the width of your new unit is a bit narrower than stock which is why you require the side filler pieces
