Installing Sirius Satellite Radio On A 2005 Tacoma - Taco Tunes From Outer Space

1. Here are the parts we found to completely remove the factory sound system and replace it with kick-ass aftermarket parts without having to cut, drill, or fiberglass anything; we didn't even need butt connectors!

2. Obviously, to replace the door speakers we needed to remove the door panel. We started by removing this upper plastic piece that covers the mirror hardware. There are two screws that hold on the panel. One is located in the lock/handle assembly, and the other is under the door pull/armrest, right by the door handle. The screws are hidden with a little cover that is easily opened with a small flat-tip.

3. Here Adam has already unscrewed the four 10mm bolts that hold the factory speakers in and unplugged the harness to pull the stock speaker.

4. Scosche also offers factory speaker hook-ups as well. This really makes the job much easier than having to cut and splice everything together. Plus, it can be put back to stock by simply removing the harness.

5. By using the custom Taco Tunes speaker mounts all that needed to be done was a little notching to clear the wires, and then both the mounts and the speaker could be bolted in place.

6. With the new speaker in and no worries about loose connections, the door panel can be put back on without any concerns.

7. After the fronts were done Adam jumped to the rear speakers and removed the rear door panels.

8. The rear speakers were unbolted the same way and popped out.

9. The only modification that had to be done to the Taco Tunes adapters for this particular application was to notch for the short speaker wire.

10. Here you can see the notch for the speaker wire as Adam bolts in the speaker adapter mount.

11. Just like the front, the mount is held on with the provided hardware and the Scosche harness is plugged directly to the factory wiring before screwing in the upgraded speaker.

12. With all the speakers installed and out of the way Adam moved to the dash to make room for the new head unit. The hardware for the radio is hiding under the heater controls. Use a small screwdriver to pry out from the bottom. This is enough to get it out.

13. Once the screws are taken out, the dash panel can be popped out and the radio can be unbolted. With the radio in hand, the clock/hazard light assembly is removed to reinstall in the new Scosche dash kit.

14. Here's a look at the dash kit that Scosche designed to retain the factory look.

15. The clips holding the factory dash in will also be transferred to the new dash kit.
