Stereo installation

blkcadi · 06-09-2006, 02:08 PM

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem trying to find a kit to install a head unit in a MR2. I have bought 2 differant types and niether one will fit into the radio opening. I have also gone to several stereo shops and they tell me that I will have to have one specially made. Don't really want to pay someone $50 to $75 bucks, I'm cheap I guess. Have any answers?

Most decks will mount in an MR2 using the machine screw mounts on the deck and the factory supplied Toyota brackets.

I was afraid to screw into a new Alpine decks side, fearing it might cause damage to the head unit itself.

I have a pioneer head unit I bought for the car, do you think it would be safe to screw directly into the side of the unit with smal screws?

Of course it would be... that's what those holes are there for...
