Trim/Dash Kit (for single DIN headunit) for Yaris yet? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bigsky2 · 06-27-2006, 05:16 AM

I'm still holding off on the stereo upgrade mainly because I want to use a single DIN headunit.

But because there are no official dash kits for single DIN headunits for the 06/07 Yaris, I haven't been able to begin the stereo upgrades.

I've seen people use the Echo dash kit, but I understand that there are problems with it and require a bit of modification.

Any news from Toyota or OEM companies that manufacture dash kits?

Just use both original and echo mounting brackets together.

Thanks for the pics/advice.

I've good news for those of us who are waiting an official fitted install kit.

Metra has informed me that an application is in development for the Yaris Hatch/Liftback and should be available in three to four weeks.

I just called metra. The part # for the liftback will be 99-8216. About 3-4 weeks out.

Good detective work there Violin. Not that the Jensen desk I have waiting is anything special, but I am going to wait for the proper kit to come out. Will have to call around to see if I can pre-order it from a local car audio place.

I would be willing to bet Metra will come out with both. Maybe at the same time.

Pixie - You want the Metra 95-8202.

I just got off the phone with these folks:
http://www.installer-data.com/aacars...php?carid=5534

They will have the single DIN kit (99-8216) in by the middle of next week. They're not cheap, but they'll have it before Crutchfield, etc.

They confirmed the wiring kit as the 70-1761.

hey with the metra kit, is the little trim piece that goes over the front of the unit supposed to fully go over deck? The black faceplate does not fit over the single din deck unit I bought and sits somewhat flush with the deck, this also means that the deck doesnt flip all the way out... anyone else have this happen to them?

do i have to push the trim piece up through the back of the unit towards the front?

Violin · 08-18-2006, 03:57 PM

Which metra kit did you use? The one for the Yaris is just now available for sale.

MacMaster761 · 08-18-2006, 05:26 PM

i used the one for the echo/celica...

it has nothing to do with the brackets, those are all set, it has to do with the opening that the radio is supposed to go through, it doesnt seem big enough and doesnt allow my radio to go all the way down...

I had the same problem when i installed my radio... So I cut the plastic behind the trim kit so the radio is stuck directly behind the trim kit...

Hope, i'm clear enough!
