Thats the exact same unit I bought for my 2005 Vitz.

You will need to buy the dash kit (my car already had one as it came standard with a single DIN radio). You can however find them on ebay.

You will need this:

As for the radio though. Its a great little unit. The bluetooth features work really well.

I wrote about the setup in this thread (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46256)

other than that dash kit did you have to get anything else? I noticed in that thread you mentioned you used a Toyota to ISO and an ISO to Pioneer . Where did you get it from and what is this for?
Also I cant see really clearly on the pic you posted earlier, but what happen to the extra space below the new radio, is it just an empty hole so you can see all the wires inside the dashboard or did you cover with something?

Thanks in advance

A universal single din pocket should fill the hole nicely. There are a few of them on ebay.

I already had mine so I did not have to go out and buy it. So unfortunately I cant give you the exact measurements or model of the pocket I have. Just make sure that the pocket you buy is exactly the same width as the radio.

As for the connectors. You need the following

ISO -> Pionneer
Pioneer -> ISO

2 connectors in total


The current adapter which goes into your stock standard radio won't work as is. You have the option to cut the wires and wire it all up yourself, or you just buy the above adapters (one side fits into a pioneer radio, the other is for toyota type vehicles). It just makes things so much easier and you don't run the risk of wiring it up incorrectly.

Maybe you should just buy the whole lot from this guy:

Tell him you need the pocket and Pioneer -> ISO connector as well.
