This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 18 years.
Online for over 10 years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

Installation of a SONY XRC 8200 and a SONY CDX 805 in a 1998 4 DOOR CAMRY LE 4 cyl by AUTOTOYS.COM TECH
 

A XRC 550, XRC 7200 and a CDX 715 will be similiar in the vehicle

This is the finished product, ISO din flush mounted into the vehicle.

Shown above is a SONY CDX 805 changer mounting on the top trunk of the Camry using supplied brackets

Shown above is where you would have to remove the 10mm bolts to remove the factory radio and supports. To remove the trim around the radio prior to getting to this point, you have to pull from the bottom and pull the entire black trim surrounding the radio outward (there are no screws, the entire dash is held in by snaps) Be careful. You can see where the snaps hold the trim in place, they are the vertical rectangular holes located to the left and right of the radio.

Show above and highlighted by us with red dots is where we bolted in the new Sony radio into the factory brackets. Most radios sold by us will ISO-DIN mount into factory brackets in most late model Toyotas and Nissans. The factory pocket is retained. We also used a plug in wire harness (which autotoys.com stocks for immediate delivery with your order) which plugged into the factory wires. There was a factory amplifier in the vehicle which we effectively bypassed, it was located to the right of the factory radio, all you have to do is unplug the plugs from the amplifier and take it out of the loop. Our plug in harness will then plug into the harness that comes out of the loop, effectively giving you a PLUG AND PLAY installation. After bolting the radio into the factory brackets, bolt the radio back into place for a nice secure fit. Note the UNILINK and RCA changer signal cables have already been plugged into the back of the radio.

This entire installation took under 1 hour including the radio R&R and changer installation. The owner of the vehicle noticed a immediate improvement in bass response from the new deck! Thats it! - With AUTOTOYS.COM, your first or next upgrade could be as simple!
