Sometimes yes. If you pull out the OEM one and compare the plugs on the back, you should know soon enough.

Also check if the a/c overflow tube has popped out of the firewall.

Not the stock one, no. Aftermarket mirrors have a grub screw of some type, but the OEM just clips in. As for the shaking during bass……good job. Hahaha. It’s a byproduct of bass. A lot of the time it is the mirror shaking on the stalk, not the stalk shaking on the glass.

@@InstallersAssistant got it thanks for replying!

No worries. Thanks for the kind words.

Crap :( Must have missed that on the preview. Sorry.

Happy to help

Most welcome

Thanks for kind words. :)

Awesome! (Not about the shattered glass). Happy the video helped.

You are most welcome

Next time one comes in, I will try this technique. Thanks for the tip.

The front speakers should have been replaced with a component set (mid bass & seperate tweeter) to complete the sound. The shelf speakers are 8” (if fitted) and are low passed. If not, you could fit speakers there, but usually a better result is to add a subwoofer.

@@InstallersAssistant i got tsd65c component speakers in the front doors and tsd65f in the rear doors. I have not put the front tweeters in (hence your video :)) ... i will attempt this tomorrow and take it slow. I actually had someone install an android 10.1 inch touch screen for me and i am trying to save on cost etc... do you think the tweeters will make much difference and or should i try and obtain some 8inch for the parcel shelf or get an amp and mod the speakers in the rear shelf or similar? Thanks for your advice...

@@rqn1998 Yes, definately install the speakers.... and use the crossover provided. If you do not intend to add a sub, then 6x9's on the shelf with an ampo is your best bet. If this is the route you take, deaden the crap out of the shelf or it will vibrate and rattle and piss you off. Do the tweeters, and have a listen before you do anything.

@@InstallersAssistant cheers. Ive managed to get out the piece on left hand side of dash under front windscreen. Looks like now i need a tiny convertor of sorts... its like a t piece connector that goes into the 2 metal slide pieces on the tweeter.... i bought a larger t piece connector first for the door speakers but now i have to find the code or even where i can get for the tweeters....?

@@InstallersAssistant ive just rung a car install company... they said i need to run the tweeters to the midrange using a crossover cable... seems its fairly complex. I cant just plug the tweeter into the old connector from old tweeter or they said i will blow the new tweeter? I know nothing about the install of these so appears ill need to research some more....

Happy to help.

Depending on your needs, we have not yet had a need to upgrade the speaker wire. The OEM handles an amp just fine. If you are trying to save yourself from removing the radio to gain access to the speaker wires, I don’t have that info.

@@InstallersAssistant I’ve installed an Alpine Halo 11, now putting in Alpine R series 6x9 components running off an Alpine R2-A60F @100w rms. Stock speaker cable is questionable to run that power. I managed to get left side done will tackle right in the morning it’s not easy.

@@storytime7982 yeah. Done that many times. You won’t actually be running 100wrms through to the speakers. OEM is fine in this scenario.

Didn’t pay that much attention when I took the shelf out. Traditionally the bolts would be accessible from the boot.

Most welcome.

Besides removing and having serviced, no idea. Not something we do.

Interior or exterior?

@@InstallersAssistant exterior 👍👍

I have not tried, but in the systems we have run, the factory speaker cable was quite capeable of handling an amplifier (usually we run around 60-70RMS), and most times, a sub is added, so the door speakers aren't doing a lot.

With this style of door cable latch, it is not neccessary to replace as it still has enough strength to do the job. If it is a customers vehicle, you could call them and ask if they want it replaced. If it is your own, judgement call. As you saw in the video, even with the securing latch snapped, the cable was still working as it should.

@@InstallersAssistant No problem, it’s my personal car so will see if any issues arise. Thanks heaps for the input and great video!

Yeah, you can install a set of 6.5" splits almost right in. You will need speaker adaptors for the door to make it easier, and some form of mount for the tweeter (depends on the size and mounting options). But not too hard overall.

@@InstallersAssistant awesome thanks. Really appreciate the reply.

Isn't it great to find the exact tool you need is already in your toolbox? The trim removal tool is very handy. As for the engine, these things don't mean a lot to me, eg, the VT, VU, VX, all the samew from an audio point. The engine makes no difference. But hey, good to know.

@@InstallersAssistant It is - makes things so much more efficient. All I have to do now is to work out how to put the large clip back to hold the door handle together,,,

You will need a LOC (Line Out Converter). It is very rare to see an OEM radio with low-level outputs.

Happy to help. Time for a new radio. Remember to ask for the fascia and the steering wheel interface and patch leads.

No worries.

Too easy. The space is standard Double-DIN so you don’t even the Toyota ears. No fascia kit required and if you want to save even more time, grab a Toyota harness from you local Autobarn/home depot etc. ps. Nice choice the SX-R. Just a little envious.

@@InstallersAssistant Thanks for that!

Happy to help.

That’s a good question. The video vehicle was the Presara, so it was full climate with dual zone. It would be worth a go as the switches are not that expensive. As for wiring, one can only hope that Toyota have pre wired the column. Let me know. I am keen to see if this works. :)

No worries. Happy to help.

Quite right. Thanks. Editing will be done. Well spotted.

You are welcome.

From memory, this was a full speaker upgrade and would most likely be the Audison 6.5” splits, and yes tweeter would have been replaced as well. Future videos now show the adaptors and speaker choice due to being asked this question a lot in other videos.

Sweet. Glad to be of help. Deadening will be a big improvement.

I asked this on another channel but no response, apparently there is a way to modify the dmax stinger facia kit to fit the BT50 but no one is able to share how to do this or explain how they are different. In the videos they both look exactly the same but the dismantling of dash to get to the facia is completely different. If anyone knows what the differences are for the dmax facia kit not fitting please share.

No worries. It is a common clip for a lot of the VW/Audi/Skoda vehicles.

Alas no. I would assume you are not the original purchaser, and as such, the original purchaser would have been given a card with the code on it, and has probably thrown it out. Ford may be able to supply you with the code (they may ask proof of ownership). Or just throw it out and hget something new and better.

@@InstallersAssistant yes I’m the second owner. I tried local Ford dealerships but got no response.

@@danimari5833 might be time to upgrade. Your new one will be WAY better than the stock one.

I absolutely agree with that. There is a solution for the Isuzu counterpart, but currently not for the BT-50 (that I have found yet). At this stage, all that can be done is acoustic treatment, and speaker/amplifier/subwoofer upgrades etc.

@@InstallersAssistantcan you recommend an amp, speaker and maybe a sub? I’m guessing this head unit doesn’t have RCA lines and requires a high pass amp? I have the freestyle cab and was thinking about using the free storage compartment behind the passenger seat as a sub box

@@McPerferct thanks for watching. Speaker choice is really a personal thing. Different brands (and models within the brand) all have different acoustics and some may sound “better” to you than others. And your choice may be different to someone else’s. Best suggestion is to go to a few shops and have a listen to some speakers to find the “sound” that works for you. Personally, I like the Infinity Reference series. As for amp/sub combo, if you have space behind the seat for a full size box, you will have lots of options. Then the choice is style of box, being sealed or ported (with a hole or without). Both styles suit different music. My way of explaining it is this…. Rock based music suits sealed, R’n’B suits vented. If you like everything, it is harder to choose. Ignore the MAX or PEAK numbers and look at RMS. Again. Different brands and models within the brand will sound different. If you opt for a vented box, get one that is built to spec to suit the subwoofer you choose. Sealed is not so critical.

@@InstallersAssistantthank you for your reply, as for the standard infotainment system does it have low pass for an amp or do I require a high pass amp?

@@McPerferct It does not have any filters HP/LP built in. It outputs full range (ignoring the factory preset eq) to all four outputs (Front and Rear). When we add a subwoofer amp, we typically use the Front Left output, and the Rear Right output. Strange? yeah, but this way, the balance and fader still provide an output from the Line converter you use. Make sure either the line converter OR the subwoofer amp, has a control knob. Without it, you will most likely find that at low volumes, you have too much bass, and at higher volumes, not enough. If you are amplifying the front speakers, then just use the front speaker outputs.

Australia. The video shown is obvously RHD, but frmo what I have found working on american based cars, is they are pretty well flipped Left-Right

Thanks for the enquiry. I have not swapped like for like in these as all my clients have simply replaced with a better unit. That said, I would remove your existing one (as in the video), take the vehicle to the wrecker and ask to plug in one of theirs. If it works, buy it. If not, no harm no foul. Logically you could have just the screen changed, but you would be paying someone to disassemble both units. Let me know if the swap-over works. Good luck
