Radio/cassette Change To Single Din Iso

[Jim GS300]

Hey all,

Am new to these forums, having just got hold a MK2 GS300.

Im looking at changing the standard double din radio/cassette head unit, gettin a single DIN face plate and puttin in my USB single slot headunit. Just wondering if anyone can tell me when I remove the current headunit, will I need a harness to connect to my new headunit?

Its the standard 2 black block type, 1 for power, 1 for speakers.

Anyone tried this?

Cheers guys,

Jim

Right, well Ive got the new dash plate, and am going to rip the dash out 2mara and rewire the Headunit, and put in my 1000w system!

Will post on progress

Hello Jim

I have a satnav in mine but I doubt the standard radio will have standard ISO connectors either. you might be able to get a converter cable like the one thats made for the IS series or you may have to rewire the whole thing.

HI

I HAVE A MK 2 GS300SE ON 98S

I CHANGED MY ORIGINAL HEAD UNIT TO AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER

ALL I NEEDED WAS A TOYOTA TO ISO HARNES IT DID NEED EXTENDING AS THE ORIGINAL HAD A SEPARATE AMP

AMP IS LOCATED IN PASSENGER SIDE FOOT WELL (A POST)

THE ONLY THING I NEEDED TO MODIFY WAS IGN WIRE (HAD TO CHOP AN CONNECT WITH LIVE)

THE ONLY DOWN FALL IS THE AFTER MARKET CD PLAYER DOESNT TURN OF ON REMOVEL OF KEY NEEDS TO BE TURND OFF MANULLY.

THATS NO INCOVENIANCE AS I REMOVE THE FACE ANY WAY

HOPE THIS HELPS

Hey all,

Ive got it working in the end. Couldnt find an adapter harness for love nor moeny, so a bit of snipping and choc blocks, its working lovelly.

Wired up the 1000w Amp and a subtle install in the boot, changed all 4 door speakers, subs in boot, and tweeters in doors.

Also managed to power the PS2 and TV into the amp, so its ana amazing sound all round!

Ill take some pics if anyones interested to see...
