0:20 - You got a factory cassette player in your Hijet? Cain't hide money! My 1996 Hijet only has the AM radio, and I think it has one tiny tinny speaker in the AM radio that powers on but doesn't produce any sound, probably because Japan AM stations use different frequencies. It's digitally tuned, so I can't turn a knob and tune between Japanese stations to get US stations on one end of the band. I'll need to add speakers, but I'm not putting them in the door. My current plan is to put four 6.5" speakers in the corners of the cab roof, up out of the way so they hopefully won't be damaged in a rough and tumble 4WD pickup mini truck. 10" Android head unit, 8 core processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM? Woot! I'm looking at a 7" ATOTO A6 Android head unit. I wanted something that fits completely in the dash with no overhang but I'm looking forward to seeing how your installation looks. I might reconsider, but I definitely want mechless, GPS and a rear view backup camera. The GPS will be used after installing OSMand for offline navigation, and I'll probably have a simple dash display app to display GPS speed in MPH. 3:30 - I'd read that the Hijet dash is easy to remove but it was very helpful to see it actually being done. Thank you. I'm saving this video to my Hijet playlist. You seem to be doing many of the Hijet projects a month or two before me. It's great to see you doing them before I tackle those jobs. 9:00 - You made me nervous by removing all of those long conductive pins from the connector shell so they can flop around and short when you apply power. Eek. 42:00 - There are IDC connectors that work well for splicing into existing wiring. The insulation displacement connectors are clam shells. Put one side over the running wire and plug the splice wire into the other side. Close the clam shell and crimp with pliers to push the wires down between two metal notches that pierce the insulation on both sides to make the electrical connection. When the wires are fully pressed down into the notches, the plastic clam shell pieces snap and lock together. The IDC connectors are much more reliable than twisted copper wires. Nice looking install. I'm still going with a 7" display on a mechless Android head unit so it fits flush in the dash with no overhang, but that's just a personal preference. Showing the routing of the rear camera cable was a very helpful preview of the job that I'll be doing hopefully soon... but I need to replace the clutch first so I can start driving the Hijet. Priorities! Thanks again for taking the time to make this video for other Hijet owners.
00:20 Yep. I used that cassette player everyday before the change. I used the cassette player aux cord unit and played tunes from my phone. Nice. Your future speaker plan set up will be boss. Yep. Atoto is good. 03:30 Yes sir. I am happy to help with these videos. I hope they continue to help you with your future projects mate. 09:00 When i removed all of those pins, there were no power to the harness. Yes, they were flopping around once I plugged in the harness to the head unit but all of those loose wires with metal tips were accessory wires (speakers, etc) that posed no actual power risk. So no worries. I was safe. They were separated and taped off with electrical tape in the end. 42:00 Yes. I used to use the IDC clam connections as you described but stopped doing it that way years ago because when I previously installed a head unit on a 2008 Lincoln mkZ I had a litany of problems because some of the metal pieces didn't pierce through the wires properly and it didn't bite as well as I would like. It was a total pain trying to trace down which connection was faulty. So I just removed those middle metal pieces all together. Ever since then I decided to just twist them together and then use the clam shell over the twist and out tape over the entire connection. I have never had a problem with those tap connections ever again. Thanks. I hope this video helps everyone willing to delve into their Hijet. If I can do it, you can do it too. More to come!
@@JCMFix - I think the integrated stereo amplifier modules have internal protection circuitry to prevent damage from shorts to ground, shorts to +V, shorting outputs together, etc., but it's still bad form to short the channel outputs to each other. :-) It's important to use the correct IDC connector based on the wire gauge. They're color coded for different ranges of wire gauge. Using too small a wire will definitely result in open or intermittent connections. I'm an electrical engineer and I did a large industrial equipment retrofit job where I made a little custom control circuit with an LED display that was interfaced to each of the machines. I used IDC connectors with no problems, and this was a very dirty environment with 20 micron abrasive alumina grit and a lot of vibration. Of course, I used the best IDC connectors I could buy. I think they were 3M, although they could have been Panduit, Tyco, etc. They definitely weren't the cheap Chinese IDC connectors that arrived at my house today from Amazon, for use in my Hijet remote power door lock upgrade as well as the future stereo installation.
@@Liberty4Ever True. I will tape them off in advance next time so they won't touch in the future. True. My last set was 3M. Yes, size of the wires and color of connectors matter. You the man. Thanks.
My 95 Hijet came with only AM radio and only one tiny little speaker. This guys flexing big with his cassette deck and fancy door speakers. Must be a Hijet Luxury model or something.
Nah it's cool. The screen pivots so you can position it away from those areas. It's still working great! But I would not go any larger because it would definitely block both of the areas you mentioned.

I appreciate your video. My ATRAI looks identical radio wise. How did you remove the stock radio?
Hi friend. I think a portion of this video shows it. I show how to remove the bezel/cover plus more
Yep. Obviously I missed that part. Thank you for being kind in your reply.
@@josephfirrantello6074 No worries. Thanks for being here. More videos to come!
Jesus that thing is big. Blocking the air and right on the shifter.
Nah it's cool. The screen pivots so you can position it away from those areas. It's still working great! But I would not go any larger because it would definitely block both of the areas you mentioned.
This stereo price is two times more than your Daihatsu Hijet
Nah. Check the link which will bring you to the upgraded variant.
