DIY - Radio Installation 2000 Infiniti I30

This is for a 2000 Infiniti I30 with a Bose system 

Remove the vent first with a flat head screw driver - Then you can remove the bottom plate where the shift selector is - Then you will see 2 screws on top and the other two screws under the ashtray - Then carefully unplug the stereo 

Now with the radio installation kit for single or double din - You will need to make sure that you remove the A/C switch and the ashtray - The radio screws WILL NOT come out - You have to put the new stereo and the A/C switch and ashtray on the new bracket - Once you put it all together you will see how easy it is to do 

Make sure you get the correct wire kit - On my vehicle I didn't need anything special other then the RCA male jack ends - You must connect the antenna and you must put the two blue wires to a hot wire to turn the amp on that the Bose system has in the trunk - This stereo is a DVD player that plays videos to I had to ground the wire to keep the TV in while driving - Again I did notice if the antenna is NOT connected during testing the stereo will not come on - The blue wire has to be connected to the power line as well for the rear speakers to work - Once you are done then you can reinstall the stereo

This is a DIY on how to remove and replace your stereo in your 9th  gen corolla . First things you need is a after market stereo , the face plate and the radio wire . When removing the vent face the OEM stereo face will come apart leaving the main component in the car .

DIY 8th Gen Corolla Modification Stereo Install

In this DIY I will show you how you can use your stereo brackets on a 8th gen Corolla when your stereo doesnt have the holes in the side for them to be screwed on . plus with out using a stereo instal kit . Most stereos will screw in but others wont . 

Once you remove the face plate of your stereo make sure you dremel the opening so that the stereo can slide in and out with ease . Some stereos you don't need to do this but this MOD is for the ones that make it difficult . In this case this is a flip screen stereo so you need room for the stereo to open up and close . 

This part here takes some time cause you have to put the face plate back on and pull the stereo out and then measure how far it sticks out , Once you have made your measurements make sure you mark with a marker where the OEM brackets will be placed when installing the stereo . Then with the help of Plasti Proxy you apply some on each side and then place the brackets so that it will bond to the stereo , be careful with the openings you don't want the glue to go inside . 

Once the perma plastic dries then you install the stereo , still in test mode to make sure its the proper measurements and then test the flip mode as well . 

Then install the face plate for the stereo and then your DIY is completed . 

I find it that this plasti weld has come in handy for many things and bonds tight .

DIY - Basic Stereo Swap

This is a basic stereo installation but this was done on my 98 Corolla .

Purchasing the stereo kit is way easier then to cut wires to your old stereo just in case you like to put your old one back .

Basically remove the cover with a flat head screw driver then unplug all the wires from the hazard and clock , Then unscrew the stereo then unclipping the stock wire harness .

This year Corolla as many you don't need a stereo installation kit you can use the side ones off the stock stereo .

Once you finish then put everything back together it's as simple as that , Follow all the directions for wiring it's not hard to do the only reason I put the pink wire on the side is cause this is a DVD stereo and that's the emergency brake wire so that the DVD will play while your driving . It's illegal to drive with a video playing .
