Does anyone know if putting a Scion Head Unit (CD/Radio) will plug right into a 2000 (3rd gen) 4Runnner?

Steve

 

I looked into it. Most units will illuminate orange unless you get a 2005+ with the color-changing option. If this doesn't bother you, it should be plug and play.

 

Cool, there are plenty of 2006 on Ebay single and in-dash 6 disc changers.

Do those headunits have a MP-3 input? (ipod) Do you have the link for that ebay unit?

There are some with the Ipod controls, some without.

i know in my sisters scion, the input for i-pods and stuff is in the center console...

but u might be able to get a simple RCA -> head phone jack sized adapter at radio shack,.

 

or you could buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-Sc...ayphotohosting

 

single disc players are amber color. 6-disc have color changing option. 6 disc units have lots of problems. I tried one in my 2000 4runner. not worth it. search at scionlife.com

I rec'd my 2006 Scion HU yesterday and I proceeded to try and install it last night. I almost got really pissed at this board right off when I found only the antenna plug to be similar, then I remembered the hidden amp. I pulled the two plugs from the amp and plugged in the HU and all was great until I tried to put the trim piece back on and realized I will need to trim this about 2/8" on each side to allow for the install.

What works for this? How do I keep it from looking like total crap when I am done? How have you guys done this? Go slow and just sand it with increasingly higher grit sand paper all the way to a jeweler’s wheel?

Dunno what you paid on eBay, but talking to HUTCHSTACO may have saved you some cash, or at least some headaches:

(note that he's selling one already cut to fit)

 

Anyone?

 

Did you drop a PM to HUTCHSTACO like I suggested? Seems that he's done it....

 

i have done it, i have a 2005 scion hu for sale right now that is alreay cut, if you have any questions or want to buy mine just ask
