Advice of fitting an Aftermarket Stereo to IS200 S Model
Advice of fitting an Aftermarket Stereo to IS200 S Model
25-11-2016, 11:08 AM
My cousin has a V reg S IS200 and wants to fit his 'Ripspeed' headunit in place of the original (I know some of you will say don't do it with that headunit - but each to there own! :Fish
http://gallery.xpowerforums.com/data/500...006101.JPG
He's asked me to help him and I said I'll get some advice before we tackle it. So firstly I need to order a bezel to fit a single din headunit.. which is the best one to go for?
Secondly, I assume being an S model it doesn't have an amp behind the glove box, so which ISO lead do I need? and where do I attach it... Are there any other bits I need?
Your help is much appreciated!

For the ISO lead, it's a Toyota MR2 ISO lead that you need, that will do the job, since as you say, the S model has no amp so it's a lot simpler, just a standard Toyota lead.

With the ISO lead, is it a case of simply unplugging them out of the back of the OEM headunit, into the MR2 lead and then into the Ripspeed headunit? Any chance of some links to the best places to get this from?
Only other thing I can think of is that we need to wire the handbrake feed to somewhere to allow the navigation and dvds to be changed on the move...

Thanks for the prompt reply mate. I can't remember if I read somewhere that there was a better finish on another fascia than autoleads?

Not sure about different finishes on the fascia adapters, that may be true. I used the Autoleads one and sanded it down, then painted it.
IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.

Demon I too have the S model. Its so easy to swap its unreal, take old one out plug new one in. If you get the ISO lead then it is simply plug and play.

Cheers for the link Steve.. did a search in google aswell and there different prices aswell. Do you know if there's different quality cables and would they effect sound quality?

Don't know for sure, but I doubt there's any difference in those leads for different prices. It would probably take a *much* more expensive lead with oxygen-free cables, gold connectors etc, to have a chance at making a difference, and even then I doubt you'd be able to notice any difference whatsoever with OEM speakers and a £200 head unit. Just IMHO.
