The second generation Toledo (Typ 1M) was introduced in 1998, and made its début at the 1998 Paris Motor Show as a four-door notchback saloon. Sales commenced in October 1998. It went on sale there in March 1999.

The factory wiring uses an ISO plug. The ISO-12069 lead can be used to switch the permanent and ignition feeds without adjusting the factory loom.

The dash will only fit a single DIN radio.
