I'll just say that my first HU on Dory was a Sony...it was so bad that I was offended (lol) and returned it a week later (would have returned it the next day if I didn't have work). BT was terrible. Radio signal was terrible. Didn't play the songs in my USB. I'm never going with Sony ever again. Installing the backup cam shouldn't be too hard. You can feed the cable through where the license plate light assembly is at (provided it's a license plate frame style) and up through the paneling in the trunk. Then run it on either side of the car and up to the HU. I believe all you would have to do is tap the reverse light for the trigger wire, and ground the camera to the chassis somewhere (that's the hard part cuz I didn't really see any places in the trunk that had easy access to bolts. I grounded the Bazooka tube to the rear seat rail). You should decide on if you're going to get a subwoofer (the Bazooka powered tubes, either 50w or 100w with the FAST harnesses would be fine unless you want super heavy, thumping bass) or not so that way you know what kind of speakers to get. |

Thanks for the tips Kaotic! I will definitely do lots of research before I decide what to purchase. There's a couple good threads from people here who've installed backup cameras and consensus says a dry cleaner's coat hanger works well for getting the camera wire through the liftback but it can be challenging. I wonder if that's what the professionals like the Geek Squad use, or perhaps they have specialized tools that make it easier.

Yeah, it never even occurred to me to want one until I walked by the backup camera section of Bestbuy and saw how inexpensive they were (compared to head units around $400+). I've never had a backup camera in any of my cars so I think it would be neat to have. :) Plus, my OCD would get to me having a "camera" icon on the HU that would never work and couldn't be deleted. Haha! I'm probably just weird.

Good Luck with your Yaris. I have TWO 2007 yaris and I love them. Mainly because of reliability and low cost to drive. My one has 202,000 miles on it and up until a few months ago it was Extremely reliable! I drove it to Alaska and back on a vacation when it had 193k miles and drove with confidence. (Sad note: I had to replace transmission and have a new clutch installed shortly after). But I did replace those with confidence it will last another 100,000 miles easily. I let my friend borrow my other 2007 yaris and he loved it so much he bought a 2012 model.

I fitted a reversing camera because my wife wanted it. It's now standard equipment on the new Yarii here in Australia.

I wish you fun on your journey with the Yaris, but please what's the story behind the BMW M badge on the side? I'm not trying to offend anyone, but i think an M badge doesn't belong on a Yaris.

Yeah, I wondered about that M badge myself... I guess it goes along with that "Daily Driven" sticker weirdness. As soon as I get back from my trip to the mainland all those extraneous things are going to go.

Previous owner was un-turning Japanese-O? Stickers cover paint dings or cloudy clear coat spots or...? Couldn't find an "I'd rather be driving my Bimmer vanity plate?"

On my 2000 Corolla, the previous owner put a large "Pittsburgh Steelers" bumper sticker over a dent/scratch on the trunk where his wife backed into a metal fence post. I don't especially love the steelers but I didn't want the dent to show so I left it on. When it faded after a few years, I put a Molokai bumper sticker over it which is still going strong after six years. |
