I should add that I removed my 6-disc as well. My initial plan was to replace the console unit with one that didn't have a disc changer so I can have that space back, but I think I'll add comms radio into the slot when I finally get one.
Yeah, I believe that the DVD player brackets are bolted to the body on one side (toward the front of the vehicle), and to another bracket on the other (toward the rear). I kept the bracket that DVD bracket was bolted to. It helped create a level shelf to lay the plywood on. A bit weird to...
The mounting location is a bit awkward. I believe there are two sets of brackets (one for each factory unit in place) and I reinstalled one of them so that I could make a somewhat flat shelf to mount the amp. I'll fab up a proper bracket eventually, but for now, it's a piece of plywood mounted...
Not sure what the Tesla-style head unit is like, but if it's like a typical receiver install, you don't need the factory nav or amp system under the passenger seat. I converted from a nav to non-nav unit and did a new Sony receiver and JL Audio amp mounted in the factory nav/amp location.
I would pass on it. That thing should be much lower in price. I paid $13k 6 years ago for my almost pristine '02 with 150k on it. Was owned by a doctor and then a sales manager at Toyota; both took excellent care of it. Keep shopping around; if you are patient, you will find a fantastic option...
Just stopped at my Toyota to get a price on parts. Service guy was a bit confused so he walked me to the garage where one of the mechanics was working on a '00 and had the manifold off working on the starter. I pointed out the 6 hoses and 2 tee's and the technician said, "oh man, I have no idea...
Has anyone confirmed if the sticky brake pedal is a precursor to total brake failure? I make a 2,000 mile trip in the LC with the family several times a year on top of daily driving. At 200k+ miles, and a sticky brake pedal, I'm starting think it's a only a matter of time.
That would be great. I've been sitting on the parts for about a year now and after I move I want to give it a shot. Hopefully it's straight forward. I had the junkyard pull a 3-dial climate control and pull out as much harness as they could and cut it, so I have about a foot and a half of wire...
I get the concern about "engine vibration" from others, but I've seen a ton of people complain about this exact thing and it happened to me as well; super loud banging noise that scared the crap out of me. Took off the cover and instantly gone. No noticeable issues otherwise. I really don't...
Can anyone report on changes in mpg with these? No regrets from anyone? I'm moving out of California and will be in a county without smog laws so I'm free to do what I want with my cars finally!
These are sexy. Anyone know the best/cheapest options for fob internals and a blank Toyota key? Is the Corolla key the only one that matches our 100's?
@dubitup Have you tried running the Yakima with the rack in basket mode where the rails are going up? I just picked up a Yakima box for free and planning on getting a Gamiviti and wondering if I'm going to be able to use it in basket mode without hitting the side rails.
That's good to know. I just called a friend and he's having his guys at his Toyota dealership give me an employee discount. <$200 out the door for new master and flash.
So we lost our one and only master key. I'm an idiot and didn't order a spare when I had the chance. Waiting on a quote for a mobile guy to come out and take care of everything, but was wondering about ordering the keys myself and just having him cut and flash.
I see the link above for those...
