Default Replacing import radio with cd player

Hi, i have a 1994 Lucida Estima(M reg) import. I want to take the radio cassete out as it only recieves radio three. There is no obvious way to remove the stereo from the front. Do i have to remove the dash and a hundred screws(please say no)to get it out, but if so, could someone post a link to how i can do this, thanks, Tom.

The surround comes out of the dash to reveal the mounting brackets & fixing (4) screws of the CD player....


Pull out the cup holders and gently rock them side to side while pulling towards you...

Or use a paint scraper & gently prise the surround out....

you can see the surround removed in this pic....

you`ll need to get ISO adapters (as in the pic) so a UK spec radio can be wired straight into the vehicle..

Any good motor accesory shop will do them,just ask for a Toyota Previa,MR2 etc.... adapter

Don`t mention Estima cos that`ll confuse them....
