I'll answer my own question.... using the BT3 Toy, you CAN take out the CD and it works fine without it. Apparently my problem was a loose ground. When I was taking out the wood trim, the piece on the left side was giving me fits, and I saw the big bolt below the trim, thinking it may have been...

I've been messing with this thing all weekend. I must have taken the dash apart 20 times. Ok, at this point in time, I think you CAN take the CD player out and with the Grom BT3 and it will work. As I just started the car a few minutes ago and everything was working correctly. I have no idea why...

The problem with "plugging it back in" is I threw away the CD player thinking I;d never use it again. It's gone. It looks like other stuff is involved too....The Audio system doesn't work, neither does the air conditioner- there are errors all over the screen unrelated to the stereo...

Try this again.... I put a grom BT3 into my GX, and noticed that since I will NEVER use the CD player, I just took it out and used the space to put the grom unit and have it for extra stuff. I put everything together, started it up and everything worked fine. The stereo turned on; I was...

ordered.... so just slowly pry from the bottom left upward? I checked to see that replacement trim isn't that expensive if I break one, I guess.

I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked, but did a search and didn't find it. Trying to upgrade the radio on the Nav and I am having a hell of a time trying to remove the dash wood side trim. I am using upholstery tools and it just isn't budging.... actually the grey...

The problem is the connectors on the end of the wires are larger than the hole- so do I want to enlarge the hole? Especially next to the wiring harness and fuse box?

I am putting a wolfbox G900tri pro in my gx and I need to find a place to penetrate the firewall to get the camera cable into the engine compartment. I also have another video cable I'd like to run through too. Any recommendations on the best place to do it? On the driver's side next to the hood...

I recently bought an 06 in Reno with 138,000 miles on it in primo condition, and had a metal tech front bumper with winch, rear bumper with tire carrier by Metal tech, a Westcott roof rack, a 2' lift with pizza cutter 255 Wildpeak AT 4's added and topped it off with the OTT mild tune. I LOVE...

To be clear, I got a little a head of myself.... all this design is for a LX, correct? Not a GX? are they similar or would that entail a completely different design? I got all excited and re-read it and thought "oh crap!" wrong model.....

So, just to be clear, when this thing is complete, will it be "plug and play" including the trim pieces? Will someone need a Grom or Beatsonic adapter to connect to the ML stereo wiring? I'm not sure I understand how all of this will work. Also, can you give any sort of ballpark idea how long...

Will someone 3D print the appropriate buttons to fit the HVAC controls in place of the cassette deck and head unit?

awesome... any eta on completion? Is the hole in the dash where the screen sits a standardized size? So with your controller, you'd take the dash apart, disconnect the stock head unit, and install another using your controller as a collaborator with the HVAC unit, with standard hookups for all...

So can you describe exactly what you are doing here in layman's terms? I have the same vehicle as the one you are working on. I'd love to find someone who can tell me the options that are available- I think I've look at all of them and none so far seem to be what I am looking for. The 2006...

agreed. Anxiously awaiting positive results.
