Does anyone know how to remove the radio head unit on a 3rd gen IS? I’m thinking the center console trim panel and the two silver side trim pieces will need to be removed to gain access to the retaining bolts.

 

I found this for you. Hope this works and help you with that you need.

 

Last two pictures....

 

be careful when following this procedure. there is a screw below the gear lever that holds the center console in place that is not shown in the steps, that needs to be removed. i will take a pic when i remove the head unit again to fit the beatsonic dvd overide unit.

nonetheless i would like to commend the poster of this thread. i found it extremely useful and it gave me the confidence to attempt a diy fitment in the first place.

 

Here is a pic of the screw i am referring to. I can now also confirm that the beatsonic NT6223 TV Navi controller works like a charm to enable DVD while in motion as well as opening up all the features that are normally blocked while driving.

 

Wow; great documentation; wonder how difficult a retrofit of what might be the 2015's center console (from the RC) would be!?

Thanks!

 

very useful thread, I installed mine without any problem! thanks!

 

Do you have photos of your beatsonic NT6223 TV Navi controller install?

 

No not my actual install, but I posted a guide on this thread that works exactly the same except for the panel removals.
