HU upgrade or connecting cables to the back of the HU, or whatever tinkering you might want to do, like what I did: I converted my Defogger switch into an A/C compressor switch, kasi, walang ganun ang Avanza, e.

Maraming ganyang locking pins sa Avanza, sir.

Laging tinutusok iyung center kung tatanggalin, tapos huhugutin muna palabas bago ipasok ulit sa butas.
