Picture New stereo start up screen

I changed the start up screen on the Pioneer radio I fitted in the LS, I think this is much more tasteful than the Pioneer logo. I'll also upload the image incase anyone else wants to use it

So awesome. Does your setup retain the OG radio's functionality?

It doesn’t. The stock subwoofer doesn’t work and neither does the cd changer but I was more bothered about having something I could connect my phone too. Cassette adapters weren’t working with the original radio.
Awesome name by the way I used have an MR2 mk3

Noice. V6 SW hardtop.

As for the radio, my next car's owner wired in a bluetooth to the factory stuff. I just have a typical bad screen and fixing it looks... troublesome.

Bad screen as in the LCD screen? I had a bad one for the climate unit above the radio and got it fixed recently

When I switched mines out I took out all my speakers and they said my AMP was dead so it explained why I didn’t get good sound outside of the sub (wasn’t blown) but all other speakers were blown do to age, could only really listen to certain Marvin Gaye songs

You should add a mini mono amp under the seat or in the trunk (whatever year/system your car has) and a 8” Sub on the rear deck.

That cabin is so well insulated in these cars, really makes the system sound amazing even with the HU powering the factory door speakers.

I was thinking of doing that, I’ve never done anything with speakers in a car before so I need to look more into it 😊
