Any reason why one of these wouldn't fit a 1985 70 series landcruiser? I think I have enough space in the dash for it.

12v?
twenty four, that'd be a good reason. I keep forgetting I have 24v
no reason at all, just make sure it comes with a plug with 100-200mm of wire for powers/speakers
mite look a bit gay in the cruiser tho but thats just my opinoin
All aftermarket car head units look immensely gay, too many flashing red LEDs and shit. I'd like to go back to the old 1980's tape deck but I'm not sure if it works... currently it's in the dash right under the new (ish) head unit that looks like a disco ball at a gay bar (and doesn't do what I want - bluetooth)
I was there when you did that, was considering doing something like that using the old 1980's toyota factory tape deck as a faceplate.Quote:

Route the snorkle inside the cab up buy your head.
No more use for music.

Still haven't actually installed my snorkel. Holes in the template don't line up with the bolt holes and big hole in the snorkel. Not keen to drill holes in my guards till I work out why.
Get a mechless unit. No CD, just BT, USB, SD and radio.
Must admit that I liked to wind the window down on the Safari. Great sound.Quote:

That's what I did in both my cars. Pioneer mechless Bluetooth head unit for about $160. Works wellQuote:

This, do this. CDs, tapes, radio is all old school. All I want is a way of streaming music from my phone. If your headunit doesn't have bluetooth and does have an aux in you can plug in a seperate bluetooth module that you can buy off deal extreme for $20.Quote:

Big bore and snorkel
What more do ya need to listen too
When the last of my compact disks are too scratched to play I guess I will be stuck with radio :(
Use the computer to rip them to MP3 and throw a copy of the files onto a USB pen drive. Then install a mechless unit.Quote:
