Factory Amp location in 09 Yaris Hatchback - Toyota Yaris Forums

Harpsped · 11-01-2016, 07:34 PM

As the title suggests, this is about the amp location. According to the connections I have going into the stock head unit, I have an amp connected. However try as I might, I cannot find it. Its not under the seats and it isn't in the rear of the vehicle. I may be blind, but I don't see it where it would be like in the Tacoma; under the head unit. So, I am lost.

The reason that I am trying to locate it is because I recently lost audio from the factory unit although it does still have power. I'm attempting to troubleshoot prior to making aftermarket purchases.

Thanks in advance!

09 hatch does not have connections for an amp from factory, nor does it have an amp.

Unless you have the Bongiovi DSP?

Please see the attached picture for the current stock unit. The ports image has the three ports that currently have plugs into them. The bottom two circled together are the power, speaker, etc. From what I have found online, the top most circled one is for the amp.

Can you help me understand this better?

While im not so sure about yours having a factory amp, if theres such a dealer option where you are, if there were then the wires going to the speaker would then be empty, since the speakers woukd run off the amp. If theyre not, then i would be inclined to think theres no factory amp.
