Stereo replacement

[filhere]

Hi there. First post. Here goes. I’m trying to replace the faulty double din head stereo unit in my 1994 Blue Marlin land cruiser - pic below. But I can’t figure out how to remove the old one. Tried various YouTube vids etc with no luck. Can anyone shed some light on how to do it?

Remove Velcro.
Remove ashtray.

1994 Dashboard removal ?

Wash dash panel in sink before install and use alcohol or WD-40 to remove velcro residue.

I have a similar issue trying to get the current stereo out.. which is not like this one but the same problem.
I have seen a few utube vids showing that you have to unscrew some screws at the bottom of the console and some at the top under the top dash piece to remove the dash face plate which then gives you access to things. It is not something I have got into as yet and planning on doing over the xmas holidays. Good luck with it.

Thanks mate, it is slightly surprising that it is not as obvious as you would think with a Toyota. No doubt someone will have a pretty simple explanation.

yup, screws behind the ash tray, screws along the bottom, maybe one on the other side of the wheel IIRC. Then it's still clipped in so you gotta carefully pull on it with even pressure. I like to start with the corners. You'll need to disconnect all the switches, too. It's pretty simple and there should be a few videos out there. Look up how to's for the CDL switch, and there'll be at least a couple where they take of the same style trim.
