Hey everyone. For the past 2 years, my CD player and that other slot below it that takes some sort of tapes has not been working. I'm at my wits end listening to the radio and am thinking of getting an inexpensive replacement. If I get a new in dash CD player/Stereo, do I need to get a new mounting unit or can the new radio just fit in there?

The stereo thats in there now is pretty tall it takes up a lot of vertical space. I figure I'll need to block out the bottom half or put in a pocket of some kind.

Just curious if I need to get mounting brackets or if the screw holes are standard for all radios.

Thanks,

Fish

Anyone have any luck using these mounting brackets by Amer international?

i bought an install kit from best buy, has everything you need. It also comes with a pocket to fill that gap.

crutchfield.com is by far the BEST place to get car stereo equipment. their free 24/7 customer service is top notch and theyll help you with anything you have trouble with. theyll send you the correct wiring harness specific to your vehicle and the stereo, and a pocket to fill the gap. you have to retain the metal brackets on the sides of the stock stereo.

I have a '99 4Runner Limited that had the stock CD/Tape deck. I'd sell it to ya cheap. Plus I have the amp that goes with the unit as well. This would make it an easy swap for ya.

I 100% agree with drguitarum's comment. I've always had a great experience with Crutchfield. And the harnesses that he mentions comes FREE with every kit. I completely redid my stereo system in my Civic and customer support guided me through everything. They even provide you with a print out of installation instructions. I wouldn't take it to Best Buy, as they will sell you some crap. The stereo install is a breeze, anyway.

But I really like the stock stereo in my 02. I think if it went out, I'd get another one from a member here.
