Toyota Prado instal of Grom Bluetooth BT3 kit


If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to some decent Bluetooth in your Toyota get excited as this is one of the easiest instals I have done in a while!

Groms’ call handling I’m repeatedly told is way better than the factory Bluetooth and now can be controlled from your steering wheel too (if you have buttons)!

Here I am installing Grom’s TOYNB3 The same would go for the TOYNU3 too though you’ll want the bluetooth extension for that guy

Even stopping to take these photos it was ready for initial testing in under 15 minutes!

Work your trim tool under a corner and make your way up to the join then pull it gently outwards
Now two 10mm bolts on either side
Pop this lower section out, it has three connectors. The one for the lighter is a bit fiddly take your time.

I pulled the whole lot toward me to reveal the back. Put a towel down to protect the face of the unit and lean it forward.
Here is the socket we’re looking for. This didn’t have anything plugged in to it.
If yours does unplug it. It will go back in to the supplied harness
Here you can see it plugged in and the left over plug not needed.
You can also see where NOT to mount the module (it looked like a good spot!)
Ready to pair and test! (and relocate the module….)
Push the DISC/AUX button to toggle through to CD CHANGER2!
You may have to cycle the ignition before it sees’ it. If you turn it off, leave it for a good 20 seconds before switching back on.



Mount the mic and have a play with the visor to ensure they dont get in each others way
Pull the door seal back and work the lead in with your trim tool (or thumb)
When you go past the pedals and steering column make sure nothing will get caught up

I’ve been mounting them in the instrument cluster too which is way easier but the owner wanted it here
If you can work out where this is wedged it’s a nice fit.
I like to make them more accessible usually but the client insisted
It’s just above where the ashtray goes.
The trim is not pushed in proper as I was testing the fit.

OK, time to put the car back together. Pretty easy wasn’t it!

Thanks for looking, Skot

Here’s a demo in a Hilux until I put the video of this together
