Powering stock head unit out of car - Toyota Yaris Forums

Dave240 · 10-12-2013, 06:08 PM

I installed a new deck in my wife's 2010 Yaris and didn't realize until after there was a CD still in the stock head unit.

I was hoping I could just run 12V power and a ground to the head unit and eject the disc, rather than pulling apart the dash and hooking it up to power in the car.

Can anyone tell me where to hook power up to? Photos included for reference.

On the right most connector in the top picture apply +12 to the two pins on the bottom right and ground to the fourth pin from the right on the upper row of that same connector.

Those pin references are as the picture is oriented, which is upside down.

You can score a connector for that off eBay for about $10. Make sure you get the "to toyota OEM" connector, not the "toyota to aftermarket" one, like this.

You may have to shave/grind/cut off some of the plug to make it fit--I had to on the one I made for the Bongiovi Acoustics module I tried out in my car.
