I'm going to be installing one of these in my '03 soon, anyone have any pic's of the install or where they mounted the unit?

Any info on removing the radio and dash pieces would be helpful too.

Thanks

Good info (radio removal):

How to Remove the Navigation Head Unit from a 2003 Toyota 4Runner

I want to purchase this OR the Mediabridge unit. As far as where to install it, I guess be creative. Glove box is pretty big (I only use it to store the manual and nothing else)..... let us know how you like it!

I don't have a pic for installation but took a pic when I had hu out before installation. I was new and wasn't sure if I could do it for myself. However installation is fairly simple. I think people usually locate pa15-toy behind the hu. The way I did was to locate pa15-toy under driver seat and only cable links through dashboard so I could use of aux stereo for other device. Once you took hu out, you will easily understand because all you have to is to connect cable to back of hu. Hope this helps a little.

Great information so far, thanks!

I received this in the mail today and the instructions state that if you have the Rear Seat Entertainment system (I do)then the unit should be hooked up to the ECU located in the rear quarter panel. Anyone hook it up this way?

Kinda sucks if I have to hook it up this way because then I have to find and buy an AUX cable that is REALLY long and run it all the way to the front.

All hooked up! AUX and Ipod hooked to the head unit. Pics in the "USA Spec PA15 toy" thread in the General Discussions. Thanks Cookie for the link and Thanks to Rando for the write-up.
