Hey..anybody in the Washington area 206-253-360 ...that's experienced in installing scion accessories? I just want to eventually meeet up with somebody to do installs for a reasonable fee..audio and exterior modifications only. Thanks!

 

Contact "ratcityrain"

His name's Shawn and he's AWESOME when it comes to lots of mods. Especially audio and exterior! Check the links in his sig. His xB is SWEET.

 

Or I could always help you with stuff, but my knowledge is limited to shift ***** and cargo nets, carbo BOXES and door sill inlays... lol

No really... I'm serious

 

for what vehicle??? xB tC xA??? I can tear apart a xB pretty well.... xA shouldnt be any more difficult... and tC... i'm sure i could fumble my way around convincenly enuf.... (is that even a word?? damn cold drugs)

any time table on when you want to do anything???

 

And i'm pretty much the same way with the xA.

 

a 2006 tC. and I'm in tacoma..probably going to order the parts from mcgeorgeparts.com ..are you guys good with audio upgrades?

 

can do audio....seing that they use the same radio in all 3 models... wiring harness would be the same.. just a matter of getting the right trim piece(s) ... and the type of deck your putting in... personaly havent done any speaker upgrades myself.(had others do it) but those shouldnt be to hard either

 

In your sig it says you have a nav system..are you able to do that? I'm thinkin of purchasing the AVIC-D1 but don't want to get ripped off by Car Toys like before..let me know if you are able to do nav install..

 

yeah... can do nav install... AVIC-D1... that pioneer i think?? is it double din or single??? installing the deck shouldnt be a problem.... if the NAV part is a add-on or built in... it shouldnt be a problem either... only thing that may cause an issue would be the flip down door the tC has... if i remember reading... there may be some clearance issues with that.. .but i'm not 100% sure....

my NAV system is a eclipse double din... so it fits just about peferfect in the stock opening... just a couple of trim peices for either side is needed... not sure if its needed for the tC... but i'm sure if you surf the ICE or TECH sections.... you can find out if have any clearnence issues with the deck you ...

 

great..i;'d trust you moreso than myself.. i read that you need to drill new holes a bit further on the mounting bracket to make the cover work perfectly. i just gotta search up the links.

 

Just like KK i can tear a xb apart in no time & well already have torn it all apart multiple times.

i have done some work on a TC & could assist you or KK or any others in doing one. the AVIC-D1 is a Pioneer unit & i believe that's the double din unit & does not come w/ a built in DVD player. Also I believe that this is the headunit that won't allow you to wire it up so that it can be viewed while driving as well, just a fyi. As for installing it and the NAV, piece of steak. The only thing you have to be concerned about is that door on the TC like KK said. Once you determine that, the rest is easy. The only thing i will say about the TC is that the rear panels are more difficult to disassemble then the XB, but that's just me..

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Ahh... the memories of the hatch panels... That brings ya back...

Those were a biscuit (I even just typed biscuit, no need for the system to edit me...lol)

Speaking of tearing my tC apart Shawn, we gotta get together some time and you take a look at what went wrong with my cathodes...

 

ok this sounds good..is there a place to meet you guys.don't know who is actually going to help me and how much would you guys want for your time? ..something reasonable of course =)

 

ONE HUNDRED.... TRILLION... DOLLARS!!



just messin

 

I just got done drilling the holes in mine to make my new piece fit right. Didn't know there was a post and "How to". Would have saved me a little time.

Anyways....it wasn't hard at all. I know the tC decently well and between me and KeKai or someone else, we can get it all in and working. But as far as I know, I dont think anyone here will charge you unless you are just handing someone the keys and saying here. Do it.

 

well if you got your stuff all set to go... wiring kit, trim pieces etc... SE.. one of the clubs is doing an install day on the 15th... i believe.. in tacoma... i'll be at that.... if not we can work something else out pending each others schedules

 

sweet jesus..Scion owners are cool as hell...I'm going to ordering the stuff online soon. I think bajangles.com is the cheapest I've seen..its like 995 new. I saw taht new Z1 which looks real cool but I can't wait and it's going t be real expensive!

So I need the actual unit itself..the Toyota wiriing harness..is that it? How would I go about making the steering wheel controls work..I'm trying to search that up.

 

Hey I splurged ..999 grand total for new unit at bajangles.com Are any of you guyys free on Thursday or Friday ?!? I'll drive to your residence if needed ! =)

 

i may be availible one of those days...... will have to check my work schedule..... will let ya know... i know i have a day off one of those 2 days.... or like i mentioned b4... sunday we're doin an install day.. you can come to that and check out a bunch of other peoples rides.... i know 1 other is installing a deck too.. but thats an xB

lets see... Deck, wiring harness, a double din trim kit for a tC...think thats it....

 

sounds good bro, let me know when you can..I'l be heading down to Oregon this Saturday.
