Hello 100 series hive mind, I've read the threads, everyone has done a lot of great work doing research, and before I open up my center stack, I am hoping for a quick gut check from you folks.
2000 LX470, Nakamichi in dash changer, wanting to install a double din Android Auto head unit. Here is what I think I know:
It's a dumb question guys, but tell me I'm not crazy, putting a new head unit in this barge isn't a big deal, is it?
2000 LX470, Nakamichi in dash changer, wanting to install a double din Android Auto head unit. Here is what I think I know:
- The head unit can be hard wired into the factory harness if you have the necessary mechanical skills to do so and the appropriate wiring diagrams.
- The amp can be bypassed if you have the necessary mechanical skills to do so and the appropriate wiring diagrams.
- Bypassing the factory amp works because the head unit standard has more amplification than the stock head unit+amp
- There is no off the shelf wire adapter that can be purchased for this particular setup (though it can be fabbed from two OEM Toyota connectors).
It's a dumb question guys, but tell me I'm not crazy, putting a new head unit in this barge isn't a big deal, is it?
