  • Fitting bluetooth kit to early 120

    Hope someone can point me to a thread or some hints.
    I got this unit from eBay:
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/110738454...84.m1423.l2649

    Decided we need it after my wife couldn't pull over and missed a call from school to say our daughter was sick. Yes she is one of the few females who does not talk and drive.

    Was going to grab the later model radio in the for sale section but missed out

    Any hints on how to remove the dash and connect it up?
    I will read the ditructions that came with it tonight, but some real world advice would be nice.

    I'm hoping it is just a plug and play type job that should only take about an hour,
    or am I dreaming ?

    I dont think your dreaming.
    Looks similar to the Parrott unit I got for my 04 prado. Just had to make sure the audio plug was right unit for year. Besides that it is plug and play the power and audio for bluetooth unit comes from the wiring for radio with the connection leads just placed in original wiring harness. hardest part is mounting remote head unit and removing radio.
    To remove dash panels just start by gently pulling up the two silver trim panels on either side of console starting either side of shifter and then remove the two either side of radio. the lower panel around radio then is prised of ( dont think there are any screws until you have to remove radio unit)

    Check out this post has good description of how to do it.

      Thanks for that. I found the lcool.org link when searching later last night. Managed to get the upper silver sections to pop but went no further. I'll wait till I have more time and daylight to do the whole job. Doesn't look to daunting now.

      Was told there were instructions with the unit. Yep but only how to use it once in. If no joy with contacting them today, I'll suck it and see. It does appear to just be plug into the car jack and then back to the radio. Just have to work out where to mount it and where to put the mic.

            Well jobs done. Got a bit worried when the whole dash was out and bit were every where. But the unit was put in and wired up and everything went back with no extra bits left.

            Unit works well, only issue is that it only seems to come out of one speaker, front passenger side. Not to worry, can live with that.
            Hopefully it all stays put and hasn't induced and rattles.
