First of all, the oem headunit does not have RCA outputs meaning you cannot connect an external amplification unit. There are ways around this using an RCA converter but IMO, if you are going to upgrade your system... you will want to upgrade your source unit too for useability and upgradability reasons, not to mention the improvements in the overall sound.

Step 1: Removing your front centre bezel to unbolt the brackets holding the headunit.

Step 2: Wiring up your new headunit. You'll need the following diagram to do so. Remember to go by the pin letter rather than the wiring colour.

Step 3: Installing your speakers. Well here's a start.

Step 4: Installing your amp. Quite a few locations you can mount it. Personally you won't be needing to fiddle around with it once you have correctly tuned your settings so somewhere away from sight is good (e.g Underneath front seats, underneath boot lid, behind rear seats, etc). Your manual that should come with your amp will provide you with all the information you need.

You'll need a few things before you get started such as an amp kit to wire up your amps, side butterflies to cover up the side gaps the aftermarket unit leaves and some other little things here and there.

Feel free to ask any question and welcome to Tocau :D

Azza has wired up an amp and sub to run from the standard head unit.

Go to JB hifi and buy a Stinger - SLOC, you will splice this to your speaker cables and it will give you 2 rca outs for your sub, amp combo, beware of engine noise and avery average sound quality.

I'd lose the stock deck as well. I mean, head units are so cheap nowadays, you can get very very good ones for as little as $350, and they're much more tunable than one you get with the car. You'll have at least 6 EQ bands as opposed to 3, 2 or 3 RCA preouts, the ability to play most audio file formats, the list goes on.

you can also add bass by deadening the front 2 doors,

I've done it.. and it's best $120 I've spent.. Still running stock speakers, and it's mid bass improved alot.

lol.. not 'killing' it.. deadening is when you cover the inside of doors with a heavy material... so that it would give you better sound insulation...

2 main benifits are... Readuced road noise... and improve mid bass on the front stage....

I paid $120 for Dynamat Extreme Doors Kit.. but you can use cheaper stuff like Flashtac ...

but apparently Dynamat was the easiest to use, so it was my choice since it was my first time..

      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.

      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.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
