Hi
I have made a couple of writeups that can be of interest for you fellow Land Cruiser owners. Details can be found on my blog inditravel.org https://www.inditravel.org/en/home/
- DIY Intercom unit for overlanding and offroad
- 2-Din player with navigation and back up camera
- Navigation apps for car and mobile – overlanding
There is a lot of noise in a Land Cruiser. And when driving on bad roads or off-road, it is very noisy. When you also hear a little badly like I do, it becomes a problem to talk to the sidekick, or hear what is being said over the radio. This gave birth to the idea of an intercom system. It consists of two headsets with microphones, of the same type that gamers use, and an amplifier box with inputs for CB and VHF radio, mobile phone and music / radio.
It works so that we can talk to each other via the headsets, listen to music or talk to other cars using a radio or mobile phone. The signals can be mixed together so we can, for example, listen to music and talk together at the same time, or use the headsets as hands-free for mobile and VHF / CB radios.

Old Landcruisers are not prepared for large screens, but it is quite easy to get a 2 Din player in both an 80 and a 78. You just have to be willing to cut a little in the dashboard. A 2Din player is twice as tall as a regular car radio.

Re: DIY Intercom unit and 2-Din players
Nice write-up. For the intercom I'm not sure, if this is really useful - except you are driving a rally, the noise level in a land cruiser allows you to talk and listen to your co-driver, but that's only my opinion.
Didn't know, that MapFactor exists also for PC.
