Just about ready to install the system!!

Pioneer AVH4300 (B Day gift from the wife)
2 8" JBL GT0804's (Christmas gift from the wife)
Kenwood XR-5S amp (B Day gift to myself )
Focal 165V30's
Kicker wiring

The only things left are the box from Mr.Marv (should be done next week) and sound deadening (still haven't decided which brand).

 

YUM!

 

that's a great wife! have you got dc or access cab? i'm looking at the 3300bt in the near future for my 2010 dc... can't decide on deadening either

 

I can't wait to see the pics..

Wish my would let me upgrade.

 

Yeah she is awesome! I have a DC. I was considering the 3300BT as well, but she knew that I preferred the larger screen so she went that route.

I will definitely post pics up, but I'll be doing it in stages. Today the HU is going in. I'll post up pics later today.

 

Can't wait to see the install!

 

Phase 1 complete:



I used the Scosche dash kit, it fits pretty nice.

The install took a LOT longer than I was anticipating. The clock/hazard button was a PITA to figure out. Here's a tip: There are 2 "posts" with the little yellow clips next to the clock/hazard assembly. Pull outward <- -> on them while pulling the assembly out.

A tip on the A/C controls: just grab a hold of 2 knobs and pull. It comes right out.

I blew an "ACC." fuse for some reason. I had it wired up and was playing around with it then it just shut off. It took me awhile to find the blown fuse because I didn't know there were other fuses, besides the ones labeled "radio", that affected the radio.

Phase 2 will begin once I settle on my sound deadening and receive my box and speaker adapters from Mr. Marv.

I believe I'm going to remove all of the interior and line the whole thing with sound deadener.

Final thoughts on the HU swap: It is definitely a LOT louder now than the factory HU.

 

Yes, I forgot to plug the hazard switch/clock back in before I took the pic.^

 

lookin good!

 

wow that looks great! might go that 4300 route...and the scosche fits nice. what harness did you use for h/u, and did you hookup steering wheel controls? where did you get scosche kit?

 

I got the dash kit and harness from Amazon. It's the Scoshe harness. They're all the same for the 1987+ Toyotas unless you have the JBL system. If you have a JBL system then you have to have an $80+ harness.

I don't have the steering wheel controlls hooked up, but I think I will in the future. I found myself trying to turn the volume up and down with them yesterday. It really is convenient to have them.

 

Amazon has 2 kits for 2nd gens...looks like yours is one for 2009 install nice setup!
