I do like the unit so far. I did a quick demo of the head unit for weeyari during our local meet, and I think he might have even liked it too

.
Haha, alright! Awesome, cannot wait for that.

Did it come with a harness? I suppose that the seller on ebay would send one as these are sold as "OEM" head units, right?

PICS!!!!! PLZ!!

I'm anxious for the pics. I've been hearing pretty good things from such a cheap HU. My initial concerns over long-term reliability so far seem to be unfounded, again, from what I'm hearing.

Yes, it came with all the wiring harness specific to toyota OEM plugs/connectors. It also came with a remote control, an iPod aux cable, external USB cable, and the external GPS antenna.

The HU install was plug 'n play an took me about 15-20 minutes. It was a perfect fit (200mm W x 100mm H opening) on my dash.

Here are some pictures I took this evening (more to come later on):







*note: Either I bought the worst quality LCD screen protector, or I did a crappy job applying it onto the screen -- not happy with result.







The photos below are taken from eBay listings:

Looks real nice in your Yaris. Looking forward to a full review.

Does it have three pairs of line outs(front/rear/sub)? That feature is a must have for me.

I'm guessing it won't mount without the proper radio trim in an UK Yaris as ours have a full trip computer like this one: http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/im...?id=1257798140

A shame really, seemed like a great deal.

How's it sound? How's the navigation/dvd quality/tv/etc? I know you have a full review coming, but I can't wait!

Yeah, there’s just too many bells and whistles I need to touch on but in the meantime I’d be happy to answer any questions I've not covered yet.

I’m not very good at giving out reviews but will try and do my best. I’ll have to break it apart in sections and post as many pics as I can for those who are interested.

I thought it had a separate sub line out but it doesn't. please see diagram below for the complete wiring hookup.

It has a decent sound and friends are pretty impressed once they hear it. Just an FYI though, i did upgrade my FR speakers to Kenwoods and the rear channels to Pioneers and I am running a 10" Bazooka tube with built-in 100watt amp ($40 craigslist special ) and the whole system sounds great with good bass pumping. Movies sound is also great while it supports many formats such as dvd, divx, dvd, xvid playback from a USB stick, SDHC card, and DVD media.
