I have install an new 2 din dvd player to my toyaota yaris '02 make. I have followed the radio instructions to connect all the wiring of the radio to the harness which i already had from my other aftermarket radio unit. All is workig fine, radio, screen, speakers, but when i open the headlights the radio goes off and the screen turns blue with an indication "car" on it. I think it is a wiring issue, since the battery and alternator work fine.
It sounds like the new unit's accessory lead or the memory lead is connected to the vehicle's dash light illumination wire. That wire will show 12 volts until the lights are turned on then it will show a ground and your radio will turn off. If that is not the problem then check the fuses related to the headlight circuit including dash lights and interior lights. Double check the new unit's wiring. Make sure that the ground wire is connected to a chassis ground in the vehicle. Avoid using the wire in the vehicle harness. Good luck.

Looks like your trying to install a single din size radio in a double din opening. You will need a radio adapter kit that will allow you to complete your installation correctly. Best Buys or Crutchfield would be your best bet for finding the correct kit for your car. They also carry the special connectors that connect to your factory system so no cutting of wires in the factory harness will be nessesary. Hope this helps out.
switch some where in radio cut off its auto for cd, but stuck ofen or maybe a transistor switch, well good luck. Some of those toyaota radios are full of querks.
you may have to use needle nose pliers to pull them out or remove the radio and open it up and remove them also take a look at the drive belt it may have broke, there are many electrionic places that will repair it if you remove it and take it to them, most of the one i run into broke a belt or 2cds were jamed inside it.
So many Nissan radios fail that it is a business for some folks here.
Bad solder connections are the main failure (flow solder machine at subcontractor site may be set wrong). Anyway, you would be better off simply installing a double din radio from an outside source. You can add DVD player, 7-inch screen display (motorized), GPS etc. for under 400 bucks if you stay clear of domestic suppliers.
Go to the source... I have used eonon .com to find my last 2 radios... with TV, DVD, CD, GPS and some have more.... check it out..
You can google a Nissan radio repair tech in your area and discuss cost (and method of removal from your car). Then I suspect that you will consider a multifunction, double-din device...
Very simple. DIN size head units fit without any adapters (assuming your car has the DIN size factory radio with pocket underneath {I have '93 Paseo and this was the setup of mine, though Crutchfield.com shows option of factory stereo with pocket and without [guessing there was a double DIN size option]}). All you need is a wiring harness. I've seen these anywhere from $5 - $20. This will connect to the wires on the harness for your new radio, then instead of cutting any of the factory wiring, you simply plug the factory harness into this new socket.
The trim ring around the radio/climate control/ashtray area is held in with clips. It just pops out (may have to use a thin screw driver to get your fingers under one of the edges to start). Four screws hold the metal frame where the head unit, climate control, and ashtray are. Take those out and pull the metal frame out a bit, then disconnect the wires of the climate control, power lead to lighter, and stereo harness and antenna. Two screws per side hold the stereo in to the metal frame. Take those out, slide out the factory radio and put in your new head unit (You will not use the metal cage or any other mounting brackets the head unit may come with). The holes on the metal frame should line up with mounting holes on the side of your new radio.
Not to endorse one vendor over another, but Crutchfield.com supplies instruction sheets and any needed install accessories free with purchase of new head unit. Their prices are often slightly higher than you can find elsewhere (comparable to retail stores, usually more than online stores), but you get the wiring harness and instruction sheets for your vehicle. At the very least, you can use their site to see what fits your vehicle (Note: Many other stores do this as well.)
Yes, you can. This is a standard "DIN" opening. Width and height are specified; but not depth. The plastic empty space tray immediately below the radio - actually make this a "2 Din space"
If you are electrically savy - carefully remove the black trim bezel (two hidden fasteners in the middle section and a couple at the bottom; and a hidden white plastic tab buried way in the back at the bottom - need a long screwdriver to release - accessed only after removing the ash-tray...
I am not aware of any pre-existing wire harness adapter...
Electrically savy - get the above out - and then measure the available depth. You can get several molex connectors from Radio Shack, and cut the current wires - and put connectors on them - so that you can reconnect the original factory radio easily. Unplug those, and make molex fittings going to the wiring for your new radio connecting to the molex you put on the factory wiring.
I'm currently looking at putting in a satellite navigation radio with screen, dvd player, etc. into my 1988 Camry which I've owned since new. Only new car we ever bought.... Good luck.
1) disconnect the negative battery cable
2) remove panel from around radio. On some models the panel is held on with screws.On others use a plastic trim tool to pry the lower part of the radio panel loose.
3) remove the radio mounting bracker screws. These are located on the side of the bracket that houses your stereo.
4) slide the radio out of the instrument panel and disconnect the wiring harness and antenna cable.
5) remove mounting brackets from radio
It may also be helpful to tag all wires before disconnecting them.
