For those of you who have installed, or had someone install a DIN chassis stereo in a 60 series (maybe not a 62, since the dash is different)... did you run into any problems?
As you may have read in a previous thread, part of my new sound system consists of a Sony CDX-GT610UI stereo. I got it at Best Buy and they offered free installation. Today I went to get it installed and the guy said it can't be installed in my truck. He said there's nothing to attach the sleeve to, and also said that the entire dashboard has to come out. So needless to say, the stereo wasn't installed. (he also said he's been installing stereos for 15 years... but never in a Land Cruiser). Tsk, whateva!
In case it makes any difference, mine is a 1984 BJ60 with a 1980s aftermarket, 2 knob style stereo currently in the dash. I hope there's a simple adapter I can make or buy, or is this a tough job best left to a professional stereo shop?
