You can pick up an inexpensive 24/12V converter on amazon. These radios only draw a few amps. Look at the radio shaft location/spacing vs the faceplate you want because they can be different. Also verify the depth of the radio vs your space before interfering with the heater.

I run an 86120-89113 AM/FM from an early Toyota pickup with the faceplate from an FJ40 86120-60020.

Hi again @Engineer8000 , I saw from your other thread: Cape Fear Electronics - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/cape-fear-electronics.1265622/ you had a few 86120-89113. I wonder if you have one for sale? I can see one or two on eBay, however reading your posts you are doing a good job refurbishing them and making them run like new. Respect to you! Please let me know if you have the correct brackets and a socket to match OEM so it is a easy for someone like me to plug and play. Thanks!
 
I finally got hold of a Toyota AM/FM radio (86120-89113, CR-6719ATA)! I’ve sent it to someone to service it, but I’m looking for the correct service manual. The technician is hesitant to open it in case parts spring out or components fall off, making it difficult to reassemble. Can anyone help me find the right service manual for this unit?

There aren’t many enthusiasts left here in the UK, so I’m just taking a chance and hoping it works fine.

Thanks!
 
That is a mini truck radio, no manual available that I have found. I have repaired several of these. Tell your guy to get the panasonic IC datasheets and follow the signal path with those. Take lots of pics in case some random wire breaks you will know where it goes. Use caution you dont hook power up backwards.
 
Some common issues are shorted supression diodes, leaky caps on the amp board, burned open trace on power and volume control boards. You will want to do am, fm, and stereo alignments.
 
I have pretty much shut down my shop but still love radio repair if you want to send it my way. I have several spares of these on the shelf now.

Are you saying mine is a mini truck radio? 86120-60020 is what I found on Amayama trading online. Shows 6/78-7/80 for US imported FJ40s.
I may have verify the number to mine at some point but not sure I did.
 
Thanks for all your help everyone!! Specially @Engineering8000

Last year I downloaded these pdfs, is it similar/closer/just about/ok to use for the repair? If anyone finds of any use please help yourselves.

@Engineering8000 - I will pass on your advice to the technician, and if it gets complicated or reaching nowhere, I may have to send it to you (thanks for offering me your help).
