hello well I'm kind of a noob and I bought a Dual xdvd8181 at best buy on thanks giving sale... anyways.. so I asked best buy if they'd install for free but they are asking for $100 I'm like no... o.o can't afford that..

so I think I pretty much know how to get it installed since i've tooken apart the dash and all.. but a friend of mine said all i need is a harness which i can buy at bestbuy?

can i buy a harness there? lol if you help me by god i'll worship you

im not too sure on what the back of the double dins look like but i bought my harness at walmart? just look for a Toyota in your yr and it should be good to go? BUT again i dont know what they look like so hopefully someone with one can chime in and help out?

you cant use the stock mounting holes, you will need to reposition it.

pretty much got the fitting done.. for the wiring in the back. do i need to use a specific electrical tape? o.o i just dont want any mistakes lolz.

wow installing was so easy o.o.. only thing that kind of confuses me is the parking break thing

o.o i have no idea how to install the handbrake cord... are there any guides that show how?

tweetertc

no.... but if you want to be able to watch while your driving... just put a switch in line to the ground dehind the radio... simple as that...

The parking brake thing is easy. (not saying your dumb or nothin cuz i was confused to) just ground it out and that way you can watch tv while your driving. i've had 3 different indashes 2 being a double din and i installed them all they are all the same. i currently have the jvc double din. how do you like the dual?

if u have extra time, i would solder the wires and if possible shrink wrap it. put some electrical tape on some wires to keep it all together.

i just prefer a clean install, i dont like wires flying all over

StyleSupremacist

lol i do feel stupid.. all this time i forgot that there was a ground wire... so when people said ground the wire i was like o.o?? anyways its fully installed now thx for all the help :]
