Leejohnson75 0 Posted July 20 Hi folks. I hope everyone is well? Coping with life through lockdown? I am after some advice, apologies in advance if this is in the incorrect place. I have a 2008 auris with 58k on clock 1.6 petrol looking at changing the factory head unit for a double din aftermarket one, maybe an alpine. I've got a rough idea how to remove the factory one..any tips on how to install the new one? Does it have to be bolted in? As jap cars do. I know I need fascia, steering wheel controls, but what about harness and aerial? Autoleads or connect 2? Many thanks in advance lee 😊 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flash22 362 Posted July 20 Connects2 are cheaper and imho better made, Alpine or Pioneer are my go too, avoid the no name Chinese junk No need for a harness as the steering wheel controls adapter does that job, fitting - bolt the brackets (may need to be drilled) to the HU and install or use the double din cage supplied http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/adapters/toyota/auris?SID=17j5tu98g26pq1ee7cifv5a441 Use a plastic trim tool or tape up the end of a screwdriver http://www.fitaudio.com/?View=entry&EntryID=183 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leejohnson75 0 Posted July 30 Thanks for the reply....I take it the fixings from the old stereo attach to the new? Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
