wow that was two cars ago. i remember the old mirror was a little hard to remove since there was something like a plastic piece that was locking it in and i had to push it aside. the fuse adapter i got from a local pep boys or equivalent car parts supply place.

i got my mirror from ebay for ~$50 and it was marked as coming from a 1999 seville. worked fine. also, i had a fuse 'splitter' from my old car so i just kept testing the fuses until i found ignition on power and then plugged in the splitter which has another fuse in parallel with the original...

i put a scion t1807 in my 2006 sport replacing the stock non jbl radio and the fm really sounds great with strong bass. i like being able to program the display also. my son thinks i'm a geek for doing it but it's easy to do and drives people nuts if they notice it.

nah, the window lock was the first thing i checked. i found another forum that said the gears get stuck and to take the back door apart and play with the gears and loosen them up. as long as we didn't burn out the motor trying to lower it. what confused me is that i can't find the fuse for the...

the rear window on our 2003 Sequoia doesn't work and I can't figure out which fuse controls that window. does anyone know which fuse i should look at before i decide the motor went bad. thanks

there is at least one long scion ipod thread that says if the scion radio is plug and play in the 4runner, that full ipod connectivity is problematic because of one cable that is part of the scion wiring harness that is not present in the 4runner. guys managed to figure the pinout of the...

i may be old but not weird -- yet. i did put the mirror on for the week. the next weekend i ran my wires. i combined the ground and reverse lights and wrapped them around a bolt below the fuses. i had a fuse splitter that i got from pep boys or something. i tried a few fuses until i hit one...

i used a big pliers and gripped the cover by the sides and wiggled it off. then there is a tab or claw on the bottom of the mirror on the windshield mount and moving it either to the front or back allows the mirror to be slid off the wedge mount glued to the windshield. took me less than 5...

John: diagram was perfect. either i am getting old and weak or they are putting these things on better than when i was younger. i needed a vise grips to get the plastic cover off....... then, after playing with a screwdriver, i used my finger to move the claw (or tab) to unlock the mirror and...

i want to change my inside rear view mirror to a compass, auto-dimming mirror and need to take off the existing mirror. i saw information on taking off the black cover or sticking a screwdriver in the slot and wiggling the mirror off the mount. i half heartedly tried both of those and neither...

i also got the t1807 and installed it in my 06 sport edition. took me longer than 25 minutes but it is much better sound than the factory radio. next project is the compass mirror............

i am going to install a compass mirror and once upon a time i saw a link for a $4 part which covers the wires going from the mirror to the head liner. of course, now i can't find the link or the part number at the online parts houses. does anyone know the link to the parts house for the wire...

knightfire just put the t-1807 in my 2006 sport. didn't notice any rca connectors on the back. had to cut a hole for the 2nd antenna input. sound is a whole lot better than original stock radio and steering wheel controls are all intact. good luck.

i changed out the basic stock radio in my 2006 limited with the scion t1807, using castalucci's removal instructions and i am real pleased with the new radio. there is one unused connector on the back of the radio and i was wondering what that is for. thanks

i have read and re-read all the scion hu threads and am still thoroughly confused. i have an '06 sport with the stock 6 speaker radio. i cannot tell from the threads whether the scion t1806 or t1807 will retain my steering wheel controls and the aux input without any re-wiring. also, what is...
