thanks Steve,
to replace with a single-DIN Radio, will I need a new cover-moulding?
trying for a week already to find one in Germany.
none of the major importers have it.
would be happy if I don´t need a cover at all.
bye

Consider installing a CB under the single din stereo like Shadow Warrior did and you will not have to worry about the cover:

That's exactly what I was going to post! Excellent setup.

no new trim pieces needed. a dash kit from best kits, scosche, metra, etc.. will work. dont forget to order the appropriate harness as well. it will be available from whomever you order your dash kit from.

here is a few good pics of the dash kit out of the truck....

Thanks,
will I need a cable Adapter for the Sony ?
can`t find any shop in Germany selling this adapter for plug and play.
would safe lots of installation time.
regards
werner

good idea with that CB.

Thanks to all,
for adapting the Sony, we took an adapter cable from a toyota avensis.
it seems, toyota is using the same cable for different modells.
Radio is in, sound is perfect, receiving stations much better now, plus can use USB and free hand phoning.
cruising gets every day nicer.
