For anyone fitting a UK radio, the lead to convert the Toyota plugs to the ISO std is available at Halfrauds Part No PC2-17-4
This plugs straight in and works without modification (in most cases)
It was £11.99 but you may get one cheaper elsewhere.Ian
One day my paranoia will go away!

what a pain!! especially as it is not a standard stereo size, its huge.

Have you got a Band Expander fitted as this will allow the frequencies for the UK to be reached, but the station codes will be out a little (eg...84Khz/Mhz = Rock Fm @ 97.4Gaz

i gave up on my jap radio as the mini disc only worked when it felt like, and the cd wouldn't play some disks so i bought a second hand one, my dads just fitted it and i put one of those blank things underneath with a little bit of storage to fill the gap it looks the muts nuts and plays good too, oh and gets all the radio stations,plays all cd's and oh the mini disc works too. took ages to fit and lots and lots of swearing so make sure you have a good few hours to spare as most of the dash has to come out.lets go get dirty...

Actually it's not that bad taking out the radio.
Yes there is a bit of dash removal. Check out here http://www.showmesome.info/hilux/workshop/dash3.htm
for details of tools required and what needs to be removed to get at the radio which is usually behind the centre trim.
One point to note is if you have a double DIN radio (as in the link) you will need extra brackets to fit a single DIN radio.Ian
One day my paranoia will go away!
