Stock 'radio' help...

So I'm installing a sound system in my car, i have all the parts necessary even a new deck except i found out the dashkit i will need to install my deck will cost me about 100$ from toyota its the 55405b model. I don't want to spend that much money and the current dash looks pretty sleek...however after installing just the speakers I realized that my deck only goes to level 50 volume and after that it just says max and doesn't go any louder. I was wondering if there is anyway i can change that so i can go as high as i want. I want to be able to do the same with bass, treb, etc...

if you are driving a 2007 American Yaris, then all you need is a Metra Kit for most after market stereo systems. Most after market Head Units . . . even the cheap ones have a better amp than what comes in the Factory Head Unit. I would personally recommend Alpine Products . . . but to each his own . . .

For the Hatch / Sedan:

Double Din: www.Metraonline.com , Kit Number 95-8202
Single Din Conversion: www.metraonline.com . Kit Number 99-8216
Wiring Harness Adapter: www.metraonline.com . kit number 70-1761

Both of these components can be found online for about 10-15$ or you can go to CirCuit City and get the Double Din Dash Kit . . . Ebay for the others.

Lets make this a sticky so people stop asking about these sorts of components. . .

See this thread for pictures of my Install of a Double Din with the Metra Kit: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6880

I installed that using Metra Kit Number 95-8202
