I am a bit afraid of all the wiring I would have to do. was it easy to remove the head unit? Did you change your tweeters? can I just pull off the a pillar plastics?

Did you remove your door cards? Is there a secret screw somewher behind a panel? there often is one near the door grab handle.

loads of questions,...I know


It wasn't very difficult. But took some time to lay down the wires to the back. and it took some time to find the right remote + wire.

The wiring depends were you will install your amp. My is in the back and due my lift there is a good 12V+ and ground.

Removing the head unit was easy. At the back you can remove a small plastic cover. There are 3 srews to remove and then the display can be removed. The blach plastic cover is hold down with clips, so you can take it away very simpel. The radio is also mounted with some screws.

I onlu put some rear 7x10 speakers in the back with an sub. The front speakers are stock. I find it sounds good for now.

Thanks a lot, where did you find the remote for the amp? I was thinking of using the 12v socket, or did you find a better one behind the head unit?

With the blade of an iron saw :D

I cut the 2 pins wich hold the badge. And I used 3M double-sided tape to put the badge back on the grill.

And the badge is easely to separate. I middle part u can pull right of, and the other pins I drilled them out. After painting I gludded it together again.

So, finally got the Bola's mounted. What looks that amazing.

If got 245 45 20 tyres for a few reasons :

# A bit cheaper
# Good loadrate (103)
# Still a little Tyre highed
# lowering not necessarily anymore!

The TPMS worked immediately after mounting. So that was nice.
