Double Din JVC Compatibility?


Dixon

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, first time poster :)

I currently have an 03 Corolla Sportivo with stock head unit still installed. I want to upgrade to a double din unit with usb/mp3 etc. Max would be 400 dollars but i found the JVC KW-XR416 for $250 and its got all i need :)

--> http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_products_details.jsp?catID=27&prodID=599

so my question is would this unit be compatible with the corolla as in "plug and play" or would i need to customize the cables in order for it to work?

any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

most after market HU you have to customise the harness unless you can buy a harness that is already made up..sometimes this is available at and audio store.

really? why hasn't the HU cavity dimensions been standardized for all HU's to fit into?

Because Toyota are smart and have used the extra space to make it more appealing to keep the standard unit installed.

I had a JVC double din unit in my sportivo and it looked great.

Where are you located? if your in Melbourne buy me beer and ill whack the unit in for you.

turns out i need to spend sixty bux on top of the head unit for it to properly fit. this includes a toyota cable kit + jvc plug kit which fits into the toyota kit :/ (stupid i think haha) and a new faceplate or somehthing. and im in qld hervey bay mate lol thats a fair drive :)
