Hello,

I have an 02 ES300 but it currently has the stock 6disc changer. I want to upgrade to an aftermarket double din. What exactly do I need to go about doing this? All I know is the dash piece that was originally made for a NAV system which I should be able to buy.

Thanks.

 

not sure about es.

but basically for my gs

ddin itself
ddin face plate
wire harness (usually the toyota one is compatiable for most cars within 87-recent)
amp bypass (for the gs)
ipod cord for specific HU brand (to enable charging and direct link to headunit, hence no need to control from ipod)

stick to the name brands (pioneer, kenwood). they are popular / famous for a reason

all i can really think of right now. bypassing the Navi (for movies / using while driving purposes) is pretty easy and can be easily searched on how to do. anything else let me know, I'll be glad to help

 

I'm also interested in upgrading my 02 es300 that has factory 6 disk changer to an aftermarket navigation stereo system. Does anybody have all the part numbers listed anywhere? Are there any DIYs? How much is this going to cost?

 

Does bypassing the amp avoid groundloop feedback?

 

Also, any suggestions on aftermarket double dins?

 

for the money.. cant beat pioneer...

 

yeah, looking at the Pioneer avic-z130BT.

 

bypassing the oem amp will eliminate ground loops..

you can get the 87 up toyota harness metra part #70-1761 plug it into the oem amp harness (behind the glove box or in trunk if u have ML system)an extend the wires to the radio, you can get power from the radio harness.

metraonline.com

use the oem mounting brackets to hold the pioneer in position, get the lexus nav dash bezel from the dealer. should be an easy install.

 

Will metro part #70-8113 do the same thing?

yes and no... it will work to get audio but it wont bypass the amp (ground noise)...
