Tarago Dashboard

[ghostrider_oz]

Recently bought 2003 Tagaro. the one with the golden oldy style radio/cassettes, the wife would like her cd/mp3 player installed.

Question: How to get the dashboard apart. Can't find any screws or locking tab as in older toyotas?

The following information is from "KeyShek" from the UK Toyota Estima Owners Club (http://www.estimaownersclub.com/). I tried it out last night and the instructions are correct.

"The curved cowel that goes around and above the stereo is held in place with some clips, all you need to do is to pull it straight out towards the back of the car. The best way i found, was to first move the auto shifter out the way (if yours is auto) by inserting the key, turn to ACC position, move shifter all the way down. Next, using an old credit card or similiar, find a gap to insert it into at the top of the surround, nearest to the gauges. Then get your fingers behind the card, and pull the whole assembly forwards, stabilizing/guiding it with your other hand.

To remove stereo, simply unscrew the 4 screws around the stereo and the whole unit will come out. Use these same brackets to mount your aftermarket unit."

Cheers,

Rod.

HUGE DOUBLE THUMBS UP FOR ROD

This was the best advice we had from anywhere. I had been told that it was impossible to be completed outside of the dealership.

STEREO IS NOW PUMPING FOR ALL TO HEAR
