Sound System UpGrade Turbo Diesel 2000 model

[lanm Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close lanm]

I have been looking at upgrading my sound system [ MP3 compatible, 6 disk if possible, and Aux input for Ipod] in my 2000 T/D Prado with a Toyota 2 Din eqivalent system, however the newer Fujitsu models that Toyota sell for later models will apparently not fit into my console surround. Newer units measure 200mm x 100mm whereas my console hole is 185mm x100mm. I was hoping to buy a unit from ebay. Has anyone else upgraded their sound system? What style of system did you use ? What was the cost? Where did you get it from? How well did it fit?
Can you send me some pictures of your setup?

Thanks in advance for your advice, Mark

g'day lanm,

try a search mate, there's plenty of options that have been talked about previously, mainly in the 120 section but the layouts are close.

chuck your location in your profile too, i helps work out what may be relevant to where you are

hey lanm,

In mine i ended up going for the single din cd/mp3 player as the double din to fill the whole space was too hard to find and too expensive. In the space below i now have my gme UHF fitted which looks pretty mint.

I went for a pioneer headdeck as iv had them before and theyv proven to be reliable for me, and this one is no different, i think its only ever skipped once and that was offroad. Its mp3/wma with aux input at the front and 2 rca outs, which can now be had for around the $150 mark. You dont really need a 6 disc stacker as youl be able to fit around 200 mp3s on the one cd anyway.

I also mounted a sub under the drivers seat, its a JBL 8" in a custom box that i made, works a treat and is out of the way and others sight.

Cheers,

Brent
