1997 Es300 Aftermarket Head Unit Installation


Recommended Posts

This is not as easy as it "sounds" (sorry). I'm most familiar w/ the '94-'96 years.

Not too difficult to get a double to single din insert for 10-15$ (ebay). Pulling out the head not too difficult, have to remove the shift wood panel gently, then screws at base of ashtray, remove that, then pop out the mid dash air vents (carefully) to reveal the screws (2 up, 2 below) holding the head in place.

Now, the difficulties begin as the wiring goes from the head to an amp (under pass seat?), and you'll prolly want to bypass that, best to run new wires from the new radio to the speakers, that is if the unit is self contained (receiver/player/amp).

Most modern units are quite beefy compared to the anemic amp of the '94, not sure about the system used in your's.
