Aux Port - Canadian 2006 Yaris

[spryguy007]

I have read alot about this topic, but it is still unclear whether you can add an aux port to a 2006 Canadian Yaris that has the stock cd player in it (no aux or line in button).

If it can be done, how? and how does the port get activitated with no button to select. I want to run my Tom Tom through the radio without using the FM modulator function

Many thanks

What's the part number on the label on top of your radio?

[spryguy007]

My wife has the car, but it is the same radio as in the attachment27150

[CTScott]

The pic unfortunately doesn't help. The part number will let me verify compatibility with the aux jack. Does the radio actually play cassette tapes? If not, then the CD-Tape button is probably the button that gets used to switch the input.

[spryguy007]

No the unit does not play tapes. The model number on it is toyota 31806

I hope this helps

[CTScott]

In that case, I'd bet that the CD-Tape button is your Aux selector.

The part number should be ten digits. There are three radios for 06 LB's:
86120-52060
86120-52530
86120-52490

The first was made by Matsushita and is not AUX jack compatible. The other two were made by Fujitsu and are AUX capable.

[spryguy007]

The book that comes with the radio shows the Toyota part # as 08600-00980

[CTScott]

Hmmm. I don't see that part number in the US/Canada, Europe, or Japan EPCs. That may be the manufacturer's part number.

[spryguy007]

I double checked the owners manual lists the radio as toyota part # 08600-00980 as well.

I guess I may need to change the unit, but I like the look of the stock one.

Thanks

[CTScott]

I would pull it out and take a look at the label on top to see if it has a different number, and while you have it out snap a pic of the back, so I can see the connectors back there. It only takes about two minutes to pull it out and the only tools needed are finger tips and a phillips screw driver.

spry... great thread.. I was wondering the same thing also about my 08 radio/cd player...

CTScott.. The number on my face plate is 31809, and I think it is part# 08600-00997

Can you see if I can add the aux connector also?

thank Scott!

Like with Spry's that is not an actual Toyota part number. The picture below is one I took when I swapped out my 09 HU. You can see the Toyota PN on top.

The large white connector (D74) on the right in the picture is the Aux jack connector by the way.

27158

[spryguy007]

This is what I saw when I took the radio out as you requested

[CTScott]

OK. That is definitely the Toyota part number. I don't understand why I don't see it in any of the EPCs (US/Canada, Europe, or Japan).

Is that connector on the right in the picture, one row of seven pins?

[spryguy007]

yep seven pins

[CTScott]

I have no idea on this one. I have a Toyota publication that has the pinouts for most of the connectors used on various vintages of radios, but I haven't seen a 7 pin one.

[spryguy007]

Thanks anyway, I think I may go after a hard wired FM modulator to keep the look stock

[Betrivent]

They have hard wired FM transmitters? DO WANT! Please point me to one! I really want to plug my stuff in directly (I have an 06 LB as well)

[IllusionX]

CTScott: the top picture is the unit that came with the Echo hatchbacks when we had them in Canada. I had that unit, it is made by Fujitsuten. It should not br AUX port compatible.

Apparently, the 7 pin plug is for the CD changer.. or cassette tape.

Future Shop (and presumably other retailers) sell this thing by Scosche: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10114376&catid=25017

I haven't gone in to actually look at one in the store, but I believe it plugs directly into the FM antenna jack on the back of the radio.


Hey CTScott, I have this stock HU in my car:
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=117&pictureid=1544

Do you know if it's capable of working with the auxiliary jack?

I bought the jack part a few months ago, plugged it in to the wiring, and didn't get quick plug and play results with my iPod classic. I put it on the backburner since I have a wireless FM transmitter. Never did revisit it and get it working...

Since the topic has come up again, I thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance.

[IllusionX]

Hmm, is this the one with mp3, the unit is black with silver knobs right?

[CTScott]

For some reason I can't find any info on the 08600-xxxxx radios, other than they seem to be mid 90's vintage radios. I wonder if the cars with these were "radioless" from the factory, and then either the port or the dealer threw in old radios that were collecting dust?

[Dave]

Hmm, is this the one with mp3, the unit is black with silver knobs right?

Mine's all silver, can play MP3 CD's, and has the awful green backlighting. I don't think I have a picture of the front of it.

[IllusionX]

you probably have a 6 cd changer?
None of the silver faced mp3 capable are aux compatible. Shoot.. mine is not aux capable either.

CTScott: I believe all of the Yaris radios in Canada are dealer installed.

this is mine
#8600-01000

[Dave]

Nope, I definitely don't have the 6 CD changer one.

It looks basically like the one you posted, but all silver. As seen in the somewhat blurry cellphone pic:
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=117&pictureid=1574

[IllusionX]

weird.. this unit looks butt ugly on a sedan :P It's easier on the eye with the black HU. but this confirms my thoughts... The radio is dealer installed. That's why we all have all those different kind of radios.

anyways. back to topic... definitely not AUX capable with yours. If it was somehow aux capable, you would have an AUX button on the unit.

[Dave]

Heyyy.. I kinda like the silver :) Fits in nice with the rest of the trim.

I know it doesn't have the AUX button on the front, but I was hoping the stereo might still have the parts inside to use the function if it was activated somehow. I was thinking of something similar to how the stereo recognizes the 6 CD changer and functions by pressing DISC multiple times.

[Michael K]

Dave: Were you able to get your stereo working with an auxiliary input?

I have the same stereo unit as you. Can anyone else confirm for certain whether or not this stereo will work with an auxilliary input?

Thanks in advance.

[CTScott]

It doesn't look promising for that model.

I have an 08 USDM black HU and the AUX jack/cable for sale in this thread:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21881

[mlaverdiere]

A few weeks ago, I bought a Canadian Toyota Yaris 2006 with a 08600-00980 radio (see pictures attached taken by spryguy007) and I can confirm this:

1. The unused connector *is* a 12-pin connector, i.e. one 7-pin row + one 5-pin row (the picture was obviously taken from an angle, that's why we can't see the 5-pin row);

2. I have easily managed (plug and play procedure!) to get an aux adapter working with this radio. The one I use is "BlitzSafe TOY/AUX DMX V.1" (there are others available out there; you just have to make sure that the adapter you buy is compatible with the old Toyota 12-pin connector type, i.e. 7-pin+5-pin.) Once the adapter is connected, the "CD-TAPE" button allows to switch to the AUX adapter, with which you can use any Ipod, MP3 player, etc.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys
Very interesting thread. I have fujitsu 08600-00997 cd stereo, with D74 aux connector at the back, and there is a jack plugged in with all the wires connected to the pins used by aux input (17,15,16,19) according to the manual.
The problem is that I can't trace the cable, and there is no aux jack next to emergency brake (I popped plastic covers and there is nothing there).
Does anybody know if this model actually supports aux input (no buttons on front panel)

[limochong]

I'm assuming that you have yaris sedan model right?
I have 2007 sedan and i found my aux jack at the back of the audio harness bundle, it's located behind the panel where aux input jack. So from the HU follow the harness bundle reach your hands down and in aux jack in taped and wrapped with the wire bundle. Just cut off the tape then you will see the aux jack there.

[jkspark]

I have the 08600-00980 like a couple other people here. (08 Canadian LB Yaris) I took it out and loose in behind the radio is the same connector that has the stock aux plug attached to it. Is there anyway that I can plug that in to the this radio?

Does it look like there are any unused plugs on the radio? At this point, if it fits, then give it a whirl and see if it works. Can't hurt

[teddy]

I've got the same unit as spryguy. Has anybody successfully attached an aux jack? That would be sweet!!

Sergo, can you please post a picture of your D74 aux connector, so I can see the collors of wires? pls

[SiLiZiUMM]

Ok, so with my canadian Sedan 2008 I have too the silver 08600-00997. Which, I think, do not support aux input.

Also, found the D75 aux audio connector.

Now, what are my options in order to get my aux input to work? I guess I need to change the car radio unit.

An interesting option would be to buy a used Sedan 2009 unit (satellite ready from the description):

As you see, there's already an AUX input built-in. I guess the sizes are the same, would the wiring be the same too? Aka, would it work? It would cost less than 100$CDN shipped. Good buy, or should look at something else?

Thanks :headbang:

[why?]

do we know who actually makes the toyota stock decks?

personally you should buy something else, get something aftermarket, the sound quality is just better.

Anybody know the answers to this?

I want to go this route too... I like the stock OEM look personally - so not looking to get an after-market deck.

I have an 07 Yaris HB LE. From reading above, even though my radio unit doesnt have an AUX port on front (same unit as Dave's), sounds like it DOES have the necessary aux cable/wiring behind the unit to work were I to buy the above OEM deck w/ the aux input on the face!

If I know this will work, I'm going to strart hunting around scrap yards for 08+ yarises that I could just take the oem radio unit out of.

Thanks for further feedback...

The extra connector is the aux connector, which would plug into the 4th connector on the back of an aux equipped one:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=42275&d=1307553946

[CTScott]

Ahhh ok I see. So it looks like the car is wired up for AUX input but I would just need an HU that supported that 4th connection.

So is there a way to connect an AUX input to the 08600-00980 through the cd changer socket?

Thanks a million.

Correct on the first part.


Yes - There are quite a few aftermarket Toyota Aux interfaces that work through the CD changer port. Here's a $65 one for example:

http://www.amazon.com/PIE-TOY-AUX-1998-up-Auxiliary-Converter/dp/B0014E9XP4

[ExocetCom]

Has anyone used the GTA Car Kits module? $100 seems pretty reasonable for near-full control through the stock HU, and is about half the price of the cheapest aftermarket HU with ipod/USB interface after factoring in install, wiring harness, and DIN kit.

By the looks of the GTA Car Kit video, the 08600-00999 HU, which is the one in my 07 Canadian Yaris and appears to be the same as other posters, this HU will accept the auxiliary input which is accessible as a "Disc". I'm guessing the modules that are part of the kits are used to a) allow control through the existing HU and, b) convert the output signal from the mp3 player to the correct voltage/resistance range the HU requires.

[IronYaris]

I have a 08 yaris hatchback, same radio as spryguy007
was anyone able to find some sort of aux/usb installation for this radio?
