36. Mobile phone holder base
35. Bluetooth head unit
I replaced the genuine audio head with a 1DIN size Bluetooth head unit. For a long time, I only used the car to go shopping around the neighborhood on weekends, so I leaved it as the original unit. For the past few years, I've been listening to music on a genuine FM radio by plugging a Bluetooth transmitter into a cigarette lighter socket and connecting my iPhone, but the noise gets louder when I turn up the volume.
Previously, I thought my Bluetooth head unit was broken, so I bought a new one to replace it, but it turns out it wasn't. I remembered that, so I decided to replace the original unit with the one I had in storage.
As for the replacement work, it was easy to complete, requiring only a little force to remove the panel and no machining required.
I thought about replacing the speakers, but after replacing the head unit and adjusting the sound quality, the sound was good, so I will continue to use it as is for the time being.
The hands-free microphone is fixed to the base of the wiper switch lever. The movement of the lever was not obstructed and fit neatly.
Finally, put the cover on and push it in.
Remove the genuine head unit and fix the 1DIN Bluetooth head unit, storage box, and left and right spacers together.
The outer panel containing the air conditioner vent can be removed by pulling it forward. When I opened the glove box, I could put my hand on the bottom left corner, so I pulled it out from there.
In original condition. CD player and FM/AM radio. At worst, it's unnecessarily big but at best, the knobs, switches, and signs are big, and it's a universal design.
This is the panel for 2DIN/2DIN wide navigation, and the lower part is connected. 1DIN storage box, left and right spacers, fixing hardware, conversion harness.
