ZRE152 DVD/GPS headunits

[Hyena]

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been asked, I did a search and nothing showed up.

I'm looking at a DVD / GPS headunit to replace the stock single disk unit in my 08 ascent (I haven't actually taken delivery yet but I've already started looking into mods :) )

From the below thread I can see a similar unit has been fitted to an aurion but I'm just wondering if anyone's done a corolla yet with one of these "specific" toyota ones rather than the generic double din touch screen ones ?

You can get the units on ebay

Or locally

Much cheaper than the rude price toyota asks!

Cheers

Did Toyota every make a 2 DIN unit for the ZZE12X cars with a GPS?

They did and still do. Last time I checked, someone was quoted 3.5k for one. Rediculous.

I've installed a genuine one before on a ZZE123 (Corolla Sportivo). It's just plug and play and finding a suitable location for the DVD/GPS unit. I'm not sure if the newer Genuine Toyota Headunits still have a standalone unit that connects to the headunit.

*gasp*

did this still have the 6 disc stacker? DVD compatible? 5.1 dolby? (Subwoofer out)

It was single I think, no DVD (a hack is required), not 5.1, no pre-outs. Sucks aye.

The newer ones have 4 disc in-dash I think with MP3/WMA support. I would bet my money that it still wouldn't have pre-outs.

So no one has seen / heard anything about them in the current model ?

For the price Toyota are asking, it's going to be hard to find someone who has.

I was referring more to these ebay ones. I thought it'd be the opposite, because toyota are asking so much more people would be looking at alternatives such as these.

Plus now that Toyota offer the Follow Me system for a much lower cost people who want sat nav are probably likely to head in that direction.

Ah good, someone else to be the guinea pig :P

Are you going to upgrade the speakers at the same time or just slot the new headunit in for now ?

[scracy]

Ah bad news guys! im not going ahead with this unit as it appears to only fit

corolla sedan not the hatch.You wouldnt think there is a difference as they do look

the same but unfortunatly they arent. Bugger and i have allready changed the speakers

to Infinity 6012i front and rear.
