Loving the Prado content mate. Getting me keen to get back into my Pajero build. Just need to rip those headlights open to black them out now. Amazing how small head units can be when you don’t need to worry about CDs anymore!
I love the 120. Why? Well, a few months back my wife was driving in the rain and was going around a bend when a massive Roo jumped out. She tried to break and lost control and slamped into a massive Gum tree at about 100kph. All she had was a bruise the size of a 2 dollar coin on her elbow. The Toyota Prado saved the most important person in my life. The Prado was a write off....so we got another 120. Love it, trust it. The one you are making here looks sick!
Great job mate IJust did my 120s head unit the top of the long silver dash trim cracked so I plastic welded them and sprayed all four silver sections black with Duplo tub liner paint looks like the dash material and makes the inside look way more modern 👍
I would recommend a heat gun when installing the weather sheilds especially in the cold weather it really helps to warm the glue and to keep them permanently stuck to the windows
Hey mate, just was wondering if you could please send me the link to the head unit it looks sick and was hoping to do a similar thing to our own 120. For whatever reason the link the the description isn't working!
Cheers Jay! I know what you mean, but I had to give this one a go as it was so cheap so wouldn't have been too much of a loss if it was crap. But it's actually pretty darn good!
@@itsmikelake Yours a Petrol aye? I don't like the whistle sound on them turbo diesels not gonna lie. The Petrol oh my will blow your socks off. I got mine done for $150 so yeah definitely worth it and I do notice a slight power upgrade. My rpms sit around 1.5 without me putting my foot on the pedal and without my exhaust done it was around 1 and even below at times.
I put pioneer branded head deck in our 120 and has same functions and look as yours, but the downside I don’t like about the touchscreen is the volume I want to go back to the knob
@@itsmikelake yeah same, huge difference, hasn’t got those King Charles ears now lol 😂 Still waiting for my special coatings to turn up for the bullbar and the carbon winch , hoping tomorrow 💪🏻
Mate, everytime I watch your videos I'm off to buy something else for my 120. But the rig looks perfect. Are you going to try upgrade to a steeringwheel with media controls?
Hi.. been watching you video.. i find it intresting you DIY.. i also got my prado grande.. was also planning to replace my head unit in car but dont know what brand or what size of new head unit with apple carplay.. would you be kind to send me the size of the head unit you replace on your prado? Or maybe the video on how you install it?😊
Hey! Thanks for that. Actually really enjoying the headunit! Turns out I had it wired up incorrectly in this video, after the first start it starts nice and quickly and the Apple CarPlay works well. The sound is a little delayed when watching videos from your phone but that’s about the worst of it.
@@itsmikelake hi mate ! Sorry for the late answer ! thanks for that ! I am considering to get one. DO you know if there is any harness for it or do you need to go with full soldering ? Cheers bud
Hello mate, excellent videos and have been watching the build for awhile ..also ordered the same head unit for my grande120...does it come with a reverse camera...if not what would u suggest...
@@itsmikelakehi mate hope u r well...I got mine and unfortunately did not come with a camera...dunno why..😢we finally installed it last week with another reverse camera that we had and for some reason when on reverse it shows multiple images and all in black and white 😢😢...any ideas to fix it?
It's been fantastic so far! I use apple car play which has the maps etc in it with no problems. The only thing i'd say is the startup takes about 30 seconds. Doesn't bother me though.
Looks great man. Are you planning to install the indicator and side lights in the bullbar? Needs to be done as the bar obscures the stock indicators somewhat.
Hey I'm so glad you decided to all-wheel swap the lancer! I have a ce lancer coupe and I have read the forums of people swapping VR4s from galants in but no videos about it so I'm pumped for that! By chance do you reckon that head unit should fit in the fevo and have a good enough viewing angle? Also does it have anywhere to plug in a left and right channel for a sub? Been modding mine out too, came with manual mirrors and windows and swapped over doors from an auto, just needed a relay and they were plug-and-play which I was super happy about. Also the link for the head unit doesnt work if you could update it would be a lifesaver.
has any one had a ventilation whine problem ? mine makes this high pitch whine noise when the system is on these settings 1234 but 5 is okey any one else had the same problem 😅. car: J120 prado 2005mdl
Follow your channel.. have some request.. can you also feature and video how to install recovery points.. Thank You Prado 2004 Grande owner here also.. do you have facebook?
SO pumped to take this rig out bush! Any recommendations for good spots in Victoria?
Bunyip state forest or up to Dargo
You could try Mount disappointment or wombat state forest.
Toolangi is my favourite forest, has great tracks from beginner all the way through to very advanced stuff
Mt Buffalo is a bit of fun. A few fun trails up there.
hi can you give me the specs for your bullbar?
Loving the Prado content mate. Getting me keen to get back into my Pajero build. Just need to rip those headlights open to black them out now. Amazing how small head units can be when you don’t need to worry about CDs anymore!
Cheers! Yeah I was blown away by the size of this thing. It still packs a punch sound wise which is nice also.

What a story! Bloody stoked your wife was uninjured. They’re very sturdy rigs that’s for sure. Thanks for the kind words!
Congratulations on the progress!! Consistency yields success period. Can’t wait for the fab vidz.
Nice! I love the shop, I own a lowered JDM and just bought a 120 prado. Will keep watchin
I love How Toyota make dash parts removal so simple. Snap out or 10mm bolts😀. Brilliant how that new screen fired up so simply
really like seeing prado builds on yt good job bro
Cheers Jeremy!

Been following your videos on prado since day one because I got one around the same time you did. Awesome videos bro. Keep it up🙌🙌
Aye workshop looks fulllll, keen to see the 4wd progress and fab stuff ❤❤
I would recommend a heat gun when installing the weather sheilds especially in the cold weather it really helps to warm the glue and to keep them permanently stuck to the windows
This makes a lot of sense! I wonder if this would work in retrospect if I hit them with a bit of heat & pressure now they’re installed?
@@itsmikelake it might no harm in trying
Hey mate, just was wondering if you could please send me the link to the head unit it looks sick and was hoping to do a similar thing to our own 120. For whatever reason the link the the description isn't working!
Awesome transformation Mike. I tend to stay away from Android head units but the one you installed looks killer.
Cheers Jay! I know what you mean, but I had to give this one a go as it was so cheap so wouldn't have been too much of a loss if it was crap. But it's actually pretty darn good!
Loving the prado build series, such a minty transformation!! Can you chuck a link up for the head unit please.
Yep, same need a link for that bad boy.
Okay so I found it on ebay for even cheaper! $155. Looks to be the exact same unit. bitly.ws/wbWx
I think I’ll buy & fit one of those too. Better than the ancient Grande touch screen.
I think the one for $155 doesn’t support Apple wireless CarPlay. Any chance you have a link of the one you got mate? Love the content!
Any luck finding the CarPlay version mate?
Hey do you have a video of how to wire this exact unit up please ?
The link the head unit doesn't work, can you provide one?
Rado is coming up a treat. Just need to put front and rear ARB air lockers in now 💥💥🦾🦾
You have to do something with the mirror quarter panel plastics. Looks to grey..👍🇦🇺
Hey mate where did you find the wiring diagram to make sure you connect the right colour wires?
Do you have a link for the head unit?
Very nice Mike! I just got my exhaust done 3inch straight through and it's sounds cracka
Ohhhh I’d be interested to hear how that sounds!

Great vid. Please paint the chrome bolts on the bullbar! Kerp the black out theme rolling!
Is that link the same head unit you got or similar one specs wise 2gb ram and 32 GB rom
Another top video Mike can't wait to see you 4wd the Fevo 😉🙏
Cheers Mac! Bring it on 😈
The link to where you got the hesd unit bro?
Hey mate, can you send the link for that head unit please. The one on your description does not work. Cheers
I put pioneer branded head deck in our 120 and has same functions and look as yours, but the downside I don’t like about the touchscreen is the volume I want to go back to the knob
I want my volume knob back too!
Mad video my bro,I was wondering what head unit that is because the link isn’t working.
Lol, put my window deflectors on yesterday, on my Grande 120
They make a big difference hey! I'm bloody chuffed with mine.
@@itsmikelake yeah same, huge difference, hasn’t got those King Charles ears now lol 😂

Looking awesome mate. Can you put a link to the head unit up please. Thanks
Hey Phil, i've found the same unit on Ebay for $155. bitly.ws/wbWx enjoy!
Instant like for the bullbar bolts 🤣. Your a fu#!*ng legand 👌
What size tires and rims are you using on this build ?
Best way to remove window sheild covers is with fishing line 👌
Blackkkkkkk as. Looks great !
Hi.. been watching you video.. i find it intresting you DIY.. i also got my prado grande.. was also planning to replace my head unit in car but dont know what brand or what size of new head unit with apple carplay..

Hey Mike, do you know if the head unit is compatible with the 120 series grande?
Yep mines a 120 grande!
@@itsmikelake thanks mike
How's the gap around the edge of the head unit? Does it sit up nice and flush to the trim?
Looking nice and tidy
Hey Mike, how is that head unit going now that you've had it for a while?
Hey Sean! Fantastic. Only thing I would say is, buy the one with the faster processor in it for the best experience.
@@itsmikelake haha too late now, i've already ordered the 1 in the video, it seemed fairly snappy in your video though?
@@mrwardy7 Yep it's been great! Just though i'd mention if you wanted the highest spec one as I didn't know the higher spec ones existed!
@@itsmikelake yea thanks man,appreciate it. I would have bought it if i knew it existed too. The prado looks mint. Keep the content coming
Hi mate. Thanks for the nice video. Still happy with that headunit or would you recommend another one ? It looks quite slow. Cheers mate

Hello mate, excellent videos and have been watching the build for awhile ..also ordered the same head unit for my grande120...does it come with a reverse camera...if not what would u suggest...
Thanks! Yep, it comes with reverse camera and everything you need. Great value if you ask me. Mines still going strong 😁

Up date please i brought the same one
How are you finding the head unit for doing maps etc does it struggle at all
It's been fantastic so far! I use apple car play which has the maps etc in it with no problems. The only thing i'd say is the startup takes about 30 seconds. Doesn't bother me though.
What wheels are they man?
Also what price would you be after on the EG
DM me on instagram my guy
What head unit you using want to change mine in my 100 series and this looks like the one
Cheers
Here ya go! bitly.ws/wbWx $155 on ebay
@@itsmikelake hey, link doesnt seem to be working.....
Looks great man. Are you planning to install the indicator and side lights in the bullbar? Needs to be done as the bar obscures the stock indicators somewhat.
Hey Mike, awesome vid bro..! Where did you get the head unit? I want to get one for my 120 series, cheers
Cheers Shaun. Here ya go my guy - bitly.ws/wbWx
Sweet video bro, how did the gear unit turn out?
Tire size?
Nicee head unit mate, I think I am gonna get one for my D40 …
Spot on. I had a Sony 7 inch Apple CarPlay headunit in my d40 and it was perfect!
I bought the same head unit and unfortunately after a couple of months it failed. Was good while is lasted !
Mines still going strong! I wonder why yours failed? What happened?
