Installing an AFTERMARKET RADIO in a 2001-2007 Corolla!

- So... car radios get old, and when they do, you need a new one. The logical route would be to buy a new one and put in in yourself, of course!! That's exactly what I'm doing today: Putting an aftermarket Kenwood DPX502BT in a 2006 Toyota Corolla. While there were certainly a lot of hurdles to overcome, we got it done and it is AWESOME!! I hope you guys learn something about how you can do this on your own car and enjoy!!! I apologize that this isn't a perfect how-to; it was one of my first vids and I have since massively improved my quality.

You have to take the entire dash off because that is the security for radio not to be stolen. Late 90s early 2000s radios got stolen a lot from cars, and so they made it harder to take them out, and more involved.
Thanks for the context!!
Good try. I have a 2007 Corolla that I want to do this to, but this video is mainly a before and after. Suggest fast camera cuts and getting to the point quicker. Taking apart the dash is what I really need. Keep at it. You have the right idea - just need more polish. You got this!
I agree with you an ALL these points - my newer videos are a lot more concise and edited. This was one of my first and so I was still learning how to make good vids.
Kind of pointless to make a how-to that just fast-forwards through all the "how" parts.
You're absolutely right!! This was one of my first videos and I've gotten a lot better at accurately representing my videos as well as just making quality content since then. Still got a lot to learn but I'm getting there haha
fanta it never said it was a how to video
Man yea wtf
I put this same stereo in my 2006 Chevy Malibu a week ago but mine doesnt have the CD player or remote, both of which I didn't need or want. It was my first time installing a stereo and it went pretty smoothly. I watched a lot of CZcams videos which helped😆 I love it. Major upgrade from the factory stereo and I wonder why I waited so long to replace it🤔
I'm glad this video helped you out! It was one of my first (and definitely one of my worse videos compared with recent ones).
This was more than enough help brother. Thank you.
Good vid bro! & you're a better son than me.. I woulda told my dad to kick rocks 😂😂
Thanks man!! It's something I wanted to learn how to do so it was a win to try and do it.
@@DartBProductions same bro . My girl has a Corolla and I was getting a refresher but that's dope man. I hope your pops enjoyed it!
You do good work.....:)
This was definitely a learning experience for me haha
I have the same harness do I not wire the blue antenna wire if it wraps back into the harness
Without further ado.... Great job!
It could have been a lot better but I'm glad you found it helpful!!
@@DartBProductions you need to keep making videos your a natural in front of the camera, keep going!
@@derekedwards5390 Doing my best :)
You dnt have to take the whole dsh apart for the stereo just remove the a/c vents and u cud acess the stereo screws.to remove stereo ..🎶🎶🎵🎵💽📻👂
Good to know!
13:09 yea, try any other car other than a corolla. One screw to take off almost the whole trim piece, how can you complain.
Yeah, it was definitely way easier to do it on my mom's Suburban last year. Thanks for the comment!!
Where can I buy one of these! Love my corrolla but need aux and or bluetooth
I installed this same receiver in my wife’s Nissan Xterra. Everything seems to be functional, however the lights are extremely dim. I’ve already adjusted the dimming adjust all the way up, but you still can’t see the lights during the day. Only at night. Any suggestions on what to do?
yes Mr. Helms... I have the same stereo.. when I get off work I will write down the steps to fix your problem..I had the same thing happen and lucked up and figured it out. I got u on this... in case you don't hear from me today, comment so I will get a reminder please... it literally takes 5 seconds to do.. I just can't remember the exact button this minute.
ps, it has nothing to do with the dimming thing..it has to do with an exterior button if memory serves me.
To the right of the manual tuner theres a button says "disp" push it one time n wait 1 sec. The display will stay or should stay on permanently.. click it again and the only time u see the display is at night. Ok... another thing you can try is.. press the SRC BUTTON FAR LEFT TIL U SEE "AUX" and stop.. then press your tuner button once and you'll see "function" and stop. While on the function screen turn the knob to the right or left til you see "display function" and stop. While now on the display function screen, press the manual tuner knob one time and stop. Now you are on a screen that probably says "color select" or "brightness".. well turn the knob until you see 'dimmer' and stop. Push the manual tuner knob one time and now you're on the "dimmer off/on" screen.. select off and STOP!!. DO NOT PUSH THE TUNER BUTTON AGAIN OR IT WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID AND YOU HAVE TO START OVER. Instead, right up under the word "Pandora" on the left of the tuner button is a "Back button/search button" push it until it backs you to the main screen which should say "Aux". You should have your dimmer issue fixed.
Mr Helms...I just posted a one min video for you. Go see if thats the problem.. I hope it helps. Sorry about my southern accent. Ugh.
It looks like you've gotten some help already, I wouldn't have known off the top of my head. Thanks for helping him Ms Pynes!!
What did you do with the black jack for the AM/FM signal? I install an aftermarket on my 07 corolla and don’t have radio signal
You should have been able to plug it in to the back of the head unit
Clean that engine!!!
Definitely need to do that
Man idk why but you unplugged your battery but ur light for the shift knob came on? or am i trippin?
Where is your dad buy his rims? Looking for some rims for a similar Corolla
the hubcaps came from amazon
If we’re supposed to connect the all the colors with the same color why do some places say the yellow to red? Does it depend on the car.
It probably does depend on how the factory set it up, there are industry standards but not everyone uses them.
Dude. I commend the effort. Great video! But like, if you want the truth. It seems like an easy job… I’ll come back here and say I was wrong when I try and if I have a hard hard time… but don’t get me wrong. Good effort. But your installation video is you trying. Something happening… and you going”off camera” to finish… 🤣. Some might say. If you need to go off camera you shouldn’t be posting a video about it 😆
Did you connect the antenna? I did not see that
It probably got cut out... I filmed this a long time ago but I remember that the camera fell at one point and missed some footage
How is called that plastic frame used to fit on the dashboard?Where i can buy one to replace my head unit from my Corolla 2006?
The actual frame that you need will depend on the head unit you're getting as a replacement. I got all of my parts from Crutchfield.com (not sponsored)
@@DartBProductions I need one for single DIN...I want install a old stereo cassete tape...i am tired to trow away cd's
Do you have to disconnect the battery?
It's good practice to do so, you don't want to set off an airbag or cause something to short
Hello friends, who can tell me how to order this Kenwood radio for my Toyota, who can send me the link to the store
You could try crutchfield, just search their website and they can help you find the equipment
Does a 2din radio really fit in a Corolla? I'm about to get one, and was about to purchase a 1din headunit
It fit just fine for me with the adapter bracket, the factory radio is technically 2din
What are the names of the other parts that you used for the installation that didn’t came with the stereo ?
The parts were bundled with the stereo from crutchfield.com. If you look at the point in the video (2:11) when I introduce the various parts that will provide you with the most information about them. I regrettably don't know the best place that you could find them for sale on their own.
Thank you so much !
Of course!
Por k no lo acen con un corolla del 2000 americano
What size radio is tho...??
This is a 2din
Whats the name of the radio
Kenwood DPX502BT
Kenwood DPX502BT... Best Buy sell this brand... If you buy the radio from their store they'll install it for you for free
what did you do at 14:20 to get the black trim to fit on the radio. I have the same car and radio...
There is a trim plate around the radio when it comes out of the box that you have to remove in order to fit the adapter plate for the Corolla onto the head unit.
@@DartBProductions Do you remember how you did it? was it the 4 small screws on the side?
@@eatrainbows7 No it was just a small black plastic trim plate around the face of the radio that popped off with a little effort.
Unless you're talking about the factory metal radio cage. You should have gotten two keylike metal pieces that you can use to slide that off.
Where to buy ?
I used crutchfield.com
Theirs a show on tv called come dancing i bet in USA its called POINTLESS
Not really sure what point you're going for here but thanks for watching!
I watched but video pointless you are supposed to show from start to finish you left out and had not filmed the important bits and all these ammhs ammhs
I'm sorry it wasn't helpful to you. I didn't really intend for this video to serve as a how-to and my camera skills were quite poor at the time since I had only just started making videos. I do really appreciate the feedback though and I have come a long way since this video.
Dude, you couldn't give us a step by step on the dash disassemble?
I should have
I have a 05 corolla s type what size radio and dash kit do i need 6" or 7"
I'm not sure off the top of my head I'm afraid. Crutchfield.com is a great resource (not sponsored, just what I use)
hey dude can you link the stuff you used? i got a 2003 and need to upgrade that stereo haha!
If you go to crutchfield.com you can pick out the stereo you want and then they will automatically tell you all the extras you need for your specific car. It's pretty sweet
Should I buy an adapter bracket as well or the new stereo would fit in the stock braket?
That's going to depend on the stereo. Crutchfield.com is a great resource (non sponsored this is just what I used).
I am trying to find an antenna adapter for this model car can anyone help out with a link
Is this what you're looking for? www.ebay.com/i/200583243604?chn=ps
What a waste
Do you have instagram?
I do not currently but am definitely looking into it as a way to expand my reach.
a disaster
I assume you mean the video? It definitely is one of my least helpful pieces of content. I have learned a lot about making informative and useful content since then - I encourage you to check out some of my newer videos!
Worst "HOW TO" video ever made.
You know I honestly agree with you there. We all start somewhere.
Sorry this video is of zero help.
