January/February 4WD Toyota Owner installed a Scion radio in a 80-Series LandCruiser....the 1808 is a Pioneer unit...

 

Shit, power is out, no internet, phones dying...

1st world problems.

 

Maybe ill just go watch always sunny in my truck and charge my phone

 

That hurricane two years ago I didn't have power for 9 days I was going insane.

 

Mine does. Well, scratch that it has hands free and bluetooth streaming. I had like 6 months left on my yearly subsription when I sold my car so I bought one of the XM units for like $75 on sale. Then I bought the adapeter so that i can hook the line out from the XM unit to the cd-changer port in the back of the head unit. So the XM unit is seperate, but it's integrated into the back of my head unit so not much difference. And that leaves the usb port and audio input in the front free to charge my phone/ plug other stuff into.

 

Pics please I'm already lost

 

Ya that sucked, i had no power for 9 days also, and my street was impassable for 3 days. Then the october snow storm we had no power for 8 days. The bed outlet in my truck was put to good use, mainly just charging stuff, but it was awesome to have.

 

Lol, i do have handsfree. I have never used it. I just figured it out

 

Same here used the bed to charge everything . Came in pretty handy .

 

Generator FTW. Lost power for a few days, beer stayed cold, house stayed warm

 

This is the head unit, pretty simple. I like that the orange color option almost exactly matches the factory dash color.



This is the back, the port for the cd-changer is in the bottom right.



You can get this adapter or a generic one off of Amazon or something. the end on the right hooks up to the back of the head unit, the other end just plugs into a normal audio out port.


Then I picked one of these up and hooked the audio plug into the audio out port on the xm unit.

So I still have to use the XM unit to control the xm, but still not a bad deal.

I have it mounted on the dash right next to the A-pillar.

 

I use it all the time. I do a lot of driving during work hours though and have to take calls constantly. Plus it's much safer than trying to juggle the phone and shift.

 

Mounted the mic for the bluetooth here.

 

For some reason i have free siriusxm. Never had to subscribe or anything, it worked when installed my heaunit and i have had it over a year. And also when i have my phone plugged into the headunit with the ipod cable pandora doesnt play commercials. I guess i got lucky

 

Looks like it was also only $120. I also picked it because a lot of the others didn't work with Android phones. This one can control my Pandora, or the music on my phone through either hooking the phone through the usb port on the front of the unit, or over bluetooth.

 

Nice. Mines in my cointray and i just flip it open when i use it. Next to my bass control for the amp/subwoofer.

 

Stuck the beer in the snow and I have gas heat

 

Haha awesome. One of our work F150's is like that. Some sort of glitch I suppose, but the 6 month trial is still kicking 2 years later.

 

My old man had a lot of old tools and stuff that i was supposed to get and when he passed in 97 his girlfriend kept them,i was pretty pissed off!

 

They do..I bought my $150 Kenwood 2 yrs ago and it does all that. Come to think of it my 7 yr old Alpine (which was about $700 new) had satellite that I know of.
