Oem Head Unit

[v6zxi]

i got a 1999 Altezza & recently changed the head unit to a single din CD player due to the old OEM one not working & radio recption not too good.

so if i wanted to fit a later spec OEM head unit, would it fit? connections/wiring/looms etc are they different?

as i heard the later (2001 onwards?)OEM head unit are different from the 1999.

im only asking as i may wanna fit it back on when it comes to selling the car, i seen lots of OEM head units for sale on eBay but lot of them are from newer models IS200/300.

i would fit my old one back on but been so much probs & the CD palyer finally died so i took it apart only to get the CD's out that got stuck.

thanks! if u can help!

Don't think you could do a straight swap because I think that the two stereos have different connectors. Not sure if the wiring can be replaced tho

ah, my favorite post topic.... I have a 99 RS 200 with amp and I have the head unit from a 99 SE/Sport spec IS200 and it plugs straight in; so as long as the pins are the same on the 2001 stereos you'll be fine.
