STEP 1:
Pull out the ashtray at the bottom of the plastic dash panel. With your hands, grab the bottom of the plastic dash panel below the ashtray location and pull firmly until the plastic dash panel begins to unsnap from the dash. Continue to pull the dash until the sides and top of the dash panel completely unsnap from the main dash assembly.
STEP 2:
The radio is secured to the dash with four (4) 10 mm bolt screws, (1) at each side corner of the radio. Locate and remove all four bolt screws.
STEP 3:
Pull the radio out of the dash. Unplug the black cable plugged into the rear of the radio. Unplug (2) white plastic wire harness connectors snapped into the rear of the radio. The radio can now be completely removed from the dash.
The radio is secured to the brackets of the radio/pocket assembly with four (4) phillips screws / 8mm bolts, 2 on each side of the radio. Remove all 4 screws and pull the radio out of the brackets.
Installation TIP:
If your vehicle had the oversized 2x ‘DIN’ Toyota radio instead of a pocket/tray below the radio, The Install Doctor STRONGLY ecommends mounting either a Toyota pocket or optional kit pocket below the the new radio. Toyota pockets can be purchased at a local Toyota dealership and the optional kit pocket can be purchased from a local car stereo installation shop.
STEP 2:
The new replacement radio can be inserted into the brackets in the same location that the auto makers factory radio was mounted.
NOTE: notice that the face of the radio is flush or level with the pocket below it. This is important to remember when mounting the new radio in latter steps.
STEP 3:
Insert and mount the radio/pocket assembly back into the dash. Plug the antenna cable into the rear of the new radio. Make sure all power and speaker wire connections to the new radio have been completed and all connectors for the new radio have been plugged in.
