INSTALLATION OF ‘OUTBACK’ROOF CONSOLE
PRADO 120 series 02/03 –09/09 Part No: RCPR03
Failure to connect coloured wiring correctly and tape up all connections as described in following
instructions will result in an electrical short and void console warranty.
For this installation you will need a hand held Phillips screwdriver, short Phillips screwdriver, electric or
battery drill, ‘stubby’3.5mm drill bit, steel ruler and insulation tape.
VEHICLE PREPARATION:
Swing Sun Visors around to side and lay flat to roof for ease of installation.
Remove map light assembly. To do this, slide a steel ruler up under front edge of light surround (front edge
facing windscreen). Lever map light assembly downwards slightly; grip with fingers and pull down out of
holding clips. Remove interior light in the same fashion; put both in a safe place for refit upon sale of vehicle.
Rear Fixing Plate Installation: Insert ‘stubby’ 3.5mm drill bit into electric or battery drill ensuring only
20mm of drill bit protrudes from chuck. From where you have removed the interior light carefully drill a hole
centrally in one of the ‘ears’located in the roof support frame (see Fig. A below). Using a hand held Phillips
screw driver fix Fastening Plate to drilled hole with a 10# x 10mm self tapping screw ensuring captive nut
points downwards. Now carefully drill through other hole in plate and fasten using remaining 10# x 10mm
screw. Press fit 14mm plastic spacer over captive nut (see Fig. B below).
Fasten Rear Fixing Plate through the marked hole into Fastening Plate
using 6mm x 20mm round head bolt ensuring captive nuts are to front of
vehicle and point down.
Front Mounting Bracket Installation: Hold Front Mounting
Bracket hard forward against front of hole in hood lining (from
where you removed map lights) and up against metal inner skin of
roof frame. Ensure captive nuts are to rear of vehicle and use same
3.5mm drill bit with only 20mm protruding and carefully drill through
one hole in bracket at 45 degrees to the hole. Note: Drill through
first and second inner skins at these points. Fasten bracket to
drilled hole using hand held phillips screw driver and one of the
10# x 20mm pan head screws. Drill through the other hole in the
same manner; fasten using other 10# x 20mm pan head screw.

Comfortable work position: Slide seats all way back, if right handed
sit in passenger seat; if left handed, sit in driver seat.
Installation preparation: Connect wiring extension supplied to console
wiring loom; connect red to red,white to white and yellow to yellow.
Tape up all connections.
Use ‘Blu-Tack’ in fit kit to adhere one of the 6mm x 25mm round head bolts to Phillips head screw driver and
store in convenient location, eg: on seat of vehicle or in/on centre console.
CONSOLE INSTALLATION:
Stand console up on front seat and plug yellow, white and red console wires into interior light plug (as per
Fig. D). Check that console lights work independently once doors are shut and timer switches off then tape up
to ensure wires do not become disconnected.
Hold console up in position over Front Mounting Bracket ensuring bracket fits in between front of console and
rear of radio surround/storage tray. Look up under rear mounting hole; line up captive nuts in Rear Fixing Plate
with slotted fastening holes, tuck wiring loom out of way so as not jam between console body and rear
mounting plate. Using the 6mm x 25mm round head bolt ‘Blu-Tacked’to your Phillips screw driver loosely
fasten console up to Rear Fixing Plate.
Using a short Philips head screw driver fasten front of console to Front Mounting Bracket using the two (2)
6mm x 16mm black round head Phillips bolts, to do this push up hard on front of console, use rear view mirror
to help line up captive nuts, do bolts up tight.
‘Blu-Tack’other 6mm x 25mm bolt to screw driver and loosely fasten into Rear Fixing Plate. Check first by
measurement that rear of console is centered in vehicle then tighten rear bolts. NOTE: Only tighten rear bolts
up firm so console is held to roof. DO NOT keep tightening so as to bend rear mounting plate downwards. Do
rear bolts up with equal tension.
Open Locker Box and remove Microphone Cable Holder and Mounting Hole Cover from inside; fasten Cover
in place using screws supplied. Fasten Microphone Cable Holder in place as per radio installation instructions.
There is an on/off switch located in front of front lights, when off it acts as a kill switch and no lights will work;
when on lights work independently as map/interior lights when doors are shut and timer switches off; when
doors are opened lights will work as door/interior lights.
