There ya go....pics of my head unit....whooo, it only plays music no video.....

tell me wat u think ya?

paultyler_82 · 09-30-2006, 07:31 AM

I think that looks good, goes well with the Yaris, and it's a Pioneer, so that's definately good, I think we're going with the other Pioneer Full Height unit (FH-P4200MP) in ours, but the 5000 looks pretty good there. You planning on adding any IP-Bus extras soon, Sat Radio, iPod, Disc Changer? You can change the illumination color on the 5000 model, can't you?

looks great

. aside from the head unit, what else did you need to purchase to complete the install?

paultyler_82 · 09-30-2006, 10:06 AM

Should have just been Metra 95-8202 for the dash kit
and Metra 70-1761 harness (or other company's equvalent)

same question goes with me....can we see it in red?

lucky you... you have the non-integrated stock HU. if it came with integrated.... it's going to be a headache replacing it with an aftermarket :(

whys that? all you should have to do is go to the dealer and order a new dash stereo face ($65 i think); its been listed in several threads; then install your new headunit.....

hasher22 · 09-30-2006, 08:31 PM

When i read the description of the head unit it said "10 colours to choose from!" and im like "WOW FUCK YEAH IM BUYING IT!" but if you look carefully with the 2 pics, you can see there are 2 different colours showing. One violet i think and one orange. You can set the colour of that stupid horizontal line in the middle....NOT ALL! HOW FUCKED IS THAT!!?? anyway i set it on "rainbow" so it changes colour every 5 secs.

really a downfall that not everything changes colour, and its a $800 head unit too. Lucky i paid $400 cuz its only worth $400

paultyler_82 · 09-30-2006, 08:52 PM

That does suck... Oh well, that's why I like the 4200, the white display and green button illumination match the gauges.

hasher22 · 09-30-2006, 09:06 PM

The 4200 model aint really eye candy isnt it hey? lol well thats my opinion, i think its ugly as.

Trust myself to go for looks than performace, if i knew that my head unit couldnt change the whole colour layout i wouldnt have baught it, i woulda baught a single din headunit and a single din dvd player and stacked it on one another.

you got the 4200 pault or u just like it?

tiksman · 09-30-2006, 11:45 PM

looks good but why would they not make all the lights adjustable

mrlam · 10-01-2006, 01:04 AM

Very Good Choice, it is perfectly fit and match the style of inside, give you two

I like it, it's got all the features I need, and the illumination mostly matches, plus I just like full height head units better, and I don't want anything but a Pioneer. Don't have one yet, but that's what I'll be going with. I have seen a few Japanese Head Units that I like and I think would go well in the Yaris, like the Sony WX-7700MDX... but I don't want to deal with the headaches of a frequency converter. What I would really like in the Yaris is a Pioneer AVIC-D2 or AVIC-Z1... but I cant afford that kind of head unit.

hasher22 · 10-01-2006, 04:54 AM

nooooooooo not the Sony WX-7700MDX, they look like a pair of snow goggles.........i rather have get the other double din head unit.

Oh, the WX-5900MD? Yeah, they both look good, really though, just designwise, I think they both fit the Yaris pretty well.

Seems to tie in with the "Circle Design" thing going on in the Yaris, don't you think?
