Heyz

I wanna change the stock headunit's green lights to red. (Can't afford a real HU just yet)

I'm remember about a year ago sometime there was a DIY post for this.

I've searched and can't find it.

Help please! ^_^

Thanks

its not worth the time and effort, any cheap aftermarket HU from a decent brand will beat the stock HU hands down.

Try google mobile electronics australia and join the forums there, lots of cheap stuff in the for sale section u can consider.

P.s. Audio is a bloody addictive thing to build up tho. just ask brandon (big bum)

here's my current audio evolution from the rolla to my current car.

Rolla Stock Audio (single cd) ->

Rolla Stock audio (6 cd) ->

Pioneer double din ->

(brandon i can't remember the modle number)

Belcanto double din dvd screen ->

JVC kd-av7008 ->

Nakamichi CD700

And don't even get started on the amps and speakers and eqs!

just stick to a decently cheap hu and don't start the slippery slide!

Lolz hey man,

Yea i know the endless perils of gettin into ICED out hardware lolz

Nah i just wanted to change the HU colour to be consistent with the console mod that i did. (i didn't want to have a fruit basket effect in my car lolz)

I"m off overseas for a fair while soon too, so i don't wanna really spend anything on a new HU. stock is ok for now.

I have been looking at cheap average HUs such as Sony, Panasonic, n Pioneers.

My budget I was considering was about 200ish. but lolz it gets complicated wen u want the extra bells n whistles such as bluetooth, USB connections, 45/52/70watt, LCD Displays etc etc. >_<

But thanks for the website lead...i'll check it out...

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
