Dash Kit - No Mods
Ok... This weekend I set out to install a new stereo deck. I have read the posts on what wire harness to buy as well as the dash kit for mounting.
I used an American International TOY 969 Kit. None of the brackets/tabs would fit so I used the brackets from the original radio. Holy $h!t. Everything went perfect until I though I was done. The radio and mounting kit stuck out too far to get the center panel back on (the panel with the air vents). In and out, in and out, notching, grinding, lifting, trimming, nipping... Bla Bla Bla.. I even stripped one of the mounting screws in the new radio. I got it in but I had to slot the stock deck mounting bracket holes to move the radio back and down. Not really what I expected. I got it in but it should probably come back out because on the right side, it is still too tight keeping the right side trim panel from fitting perfectly. I know there are SEVERAL threads about changing the stereo. Is there a dash kit / mount kit, that will fit the Yaris with NO MODS? I didn't hack the car but the rest of the mounting hardware is not what I expected. Same subject, different note: My new deck has provisions for a rear aux input. I took a 1/8" stereo patch cable and cut off one of the ends. I stripped the casings and I soldered a piece of solid bell wire to all three conductors. Probably about 24 gage or so. Slipped shrink tubing over the three leads and it was just the right size to slip into the right terminal number of the cars wire harness. No mods to the factory wiring. The 1/8" stereo plug plugs into the back of the deck. Back to the dash kit... Is there one available to fit the yaris with no mods to anything? Plug & Play if you will including mounting brackets? |
