you have the easiest install compare to the GTS model...no need to sweat it...

you will need a dashkit from walmart for $9.99, which will fits mr2, echo, highlander, etc...

antenna adaptor is not needed, just use the larger one...you will have two for antenna if yours is like the GTS model...

you will need a wiring harness kit for 87+ toyota...

that's all you'll need...for install instructions, use the search button...

Hey Zheng17, what i found is that if you get an aftermarket deck all you need is the wireing code from toyota ie power, ground wires, Bascially color codes on the wires. 2nd you need that headunit, the deck should come with it's own wire harness. and yes you do need to splice wires, contact your local audio dealarship and see what is needed, you don't need an antenna adaptor just plug in your antenna wire from original unit and stick it into the new one, really if you take your time with all of this it should take you up to 2-3 hrs max, making sure all wires are clean, this is important because if you don't connect them fully then u will have a short...... NOT GOOD lol but anyhow just read the instructions and it should be a plug an play i'm running a premier pioneer deck, i love pioneer they have so much to offer that's my .02 GOOD LUCK :bling:

...and yes you do need to splice wires...
eh...if you want to risk the guy from burn off some fuses or even his ecu by cutting stock wiring, sure, go for it...

don't be cheap, just get a harness...it's only like $6.99 at walmart...


...all of this it should take you up to 2-3 hrs max...
you must be working with breakfast, lunch, afternoon, and night time coffee breaks...it shouldn't take more than 30mins to do a GT stereo swap, including soldering...
