_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 Lol once I work out how to upload... Or is that a poor excuse to wait until I clean it? upload can be temperamental here at the best of times any rate. Best to host offsite like photobucket.com and then link it to here using tag. (you are forgiven if there is too much jargon in that sentence ha) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mongoose100 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 Shall take some tomorrow. Completely stock standard, unfortunately a Jap spec one so have to work out what I'm going to do regarding the stereo in it. Ultimately would love the factory business system to get rid of the widescreen that it's got but unsure if it'll be plug and play Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted April 12, 2014 I believe Sept 2000 is the magical date they changed to the world wide tuners. Unless you have a real early fitted model radio and the car being 2001 it should be able to be changed to Oceania or similar. If you have the 16.9 wide screen then the radio will be in the boot on the left hand side with the amp nav gear. To put the radio back instead of the screen could get involved or have I got that wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
