Hey all,
In need of a bit of help - I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris (UK) and I am planning on replacing the head unit.
I currently have a W58824 and I have ordered a Parrot Asteroid Smart. (double din)
I have also purchased this: (can't remember model number)

Could anyone tell me what else I would need such as Wiring harnesses and ISO mounts?
I am a complete beginner at this, but I would like to learn hence why I am trying this for myself.
Thanks!

If your new radio is double DIN and you ordered the 180mm opening trim, rather than the standard Toyota 200mm opening one, then you will not need the trim kit to fill the gap on either side.

For the wiring harness, you can pick up a generic Toyota one on ebay for $5 US or less, or the Metra 70-1761.

Any idea why I would loose power to my center cluster dimmer knob and my a/c control knobs. I installed an aftermarket single din. Got all the right stuff. My dimmer doesn't work. And the lights for the a/c knobs don't light up anymore...

It sounds like the PANEL1 fuse in the under dash fuse panel is popped.

Did you disconnect your Ground battery terminal from the battery before attempting install ?
