MX83 Grande Stereo Install

[andrew_mx83]

ashtray is where the dvd screen goes.

Easy you wire the aerial to the stezza

[Shakotan_Aaron]

it is??

please elaborate

that little flap pocket looks kinda funky

[Cuzzo]

Wire it to the power antenna output on the stezza.

Alternatively you wire it to the remote wire for the amp but it will go up when stezza on and down when stezza off.

Just finding the correct wire is the issue.

There is a thread about it on the Cressida forums - http://forums.toyotacressida.net/for...ad.php?t=42589

For those that dont have a a login:

NOTE: this is for the 1992 Australian MX83 Grande, there could be differences between models and countries.

t's not so hard, just take your time so as not to break any clips or scratch anything.

Step 1: Remove trim around shifter.


Step 2: Remove trim under instrument cluster.


Step 3: Remove sattelite controls.


Step 4: This comes out as a whole unit.


Step 5: Which is held in place by four 8mm bolts.


Step 6: The headunit is held in here. Most aftermarket headunits will have holes that will line up.


Here are the wiring colour codes:

Power Connections
Constant 12V+: Blue/Yellow
Switched 12V+: Gray
Ground : Brown
Illumination : Green
Antenna Trigger : Black/Red

Front Speakers 5 1/4" Doors
Left Front (+) ink
Left Front (-) : Purple
Right Front (+) :Light Green
Right Front (-) : Blue
(If front tweeters fitted, colour is the same)

Rear Speakers 6 1/2" Rear Deck
Left Rear (+) :Black
Left Rear (-) : Yellow
Right Rear (+) : Red
Right Rear (-) : White

I can't find the info on how to make the standard elec. ariel work yet.

And the electric aerial:

Here are the wires you need to use to get the electric ariel working.

Join the Green/White stripe and the Black together then join to your Blue (Usually) on your head unit ariel control wire.

Hope it helps.

thanks!

i hope that these enough original wiring there.

had a after market head unit before and i think its a little hacked up...

So im bumping this again.

Anyone got a pic of the insertable pocket which goes in place of the stereo controls?

[Cuzzo]

Is this it?

[Shakotan_Aaron]

that pic has the stereo controls??

or do you mean a din pocket that goes under/on top of a single din head unit?

apparently it isnt a direct replacement also, these a gap or some shit. i plan to remove the buttons and bog over the holes for them.. sand and paint etc too.

[Cuzzo]

Yea i just had a look over on toy cress . net and it shows how not bolt in it is.

Which is gayer than aids.

You have to replace the whole surround. Hmmm.

Whos using a double din stereo or single dinn?

[Shakotan_Aaron]

im using single din.... whyy?

[andrew_mx83]

you mean this one up the top?

[Cuzzo]

Yeah thats it, but is i read up i would need to get the whole surround aswell as the pocket setup.

SO wtb gl surround and pocket

[takai]

Nup, just need the pocket. I got a pocket for my GLX and is a direct pop in replacement for the GLX stereo controls.
