radio trim

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

got a radio of half-wits which even comes with the exact same plug on back,
so plugging it in at least proves aerial not only moves up and down, but works
as well,
apparently very front of radio hole-trim means radio itself won't physically push into place, so (some) dashboard needs unscrewing,
to site radio/cubby box.

how little can I get away with undoing do you suggest, guys.


thanks

Not a lot I'm afraid. There's a link on here somewhere that shows how to do it. Enter "radio" in the search box. That should find the links.

Search


following nearly the first search;
says start at bonnet release with first fixing screw, and work towards centre console.


hope there aren't to many!

still at least the electrical side looks easy.

Is it buggery,
Might have to get garage to fit it properly, everything appears to have been
fixed together with
extra strong, firm, best Japanese-super plastic and screws

Common opinion, throughout, the in-car entertainment world is,

that half the dash needs removing,

and unlike my headlamp replacement, this is going to need, an expert.

unless anyone knows a shortcut, i've booked just such an expert, for next week.

This is the way to get the radio out. http://www.showmesome.info/hilux/workshop/dash3.htm

Once you have the trim removed as per the above link its quite easy... you can get a wiring harness from the shop on this forum here

its £7.50 and well worth it as it saves cutting and playing with any wires!

andy, thanks so much, your link really helps with these to refer to







with a little help, from workmate, we were able to ge the radio in and working
this morning I achievd the Bulb, this afternoon
(confusingly) someone operated the window (off the key)
repeatedly, key in/out
window up/down,
as soon as I put it all back together again, glass remained, sulkily,
in the bottom of door as usual

what gives?

[Chillitt]

if its the back window, theres a button to isolate it just where you been puttin stuff down all day! (just back from the gear shift..)

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

window switch

thats a rocker switch only right!
up/down
does it do more
the sales guy seemed under the impression there was more to it
but i coulden't see me'self

[Chillitt]

next to the rocker is an isolator switch push button type...

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

switch





would this be plonked anywhere else on the dash or something,

[Chillitt]

! mine is in the middle slot! so, yours must be somewhere....its got window lock written on it..(i'm not helping much... sorry!)

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

door

theres a window lock, which probably does all of them then,
thats in the door next to all the window rockers.

Haven't tried it in conjunction with back window though,
must look into that tomorrow
