The car probably won't run with it unplugged. Most modern cars have a fail safe that will shut the car down when the alternator gets disconnected. I've never tried it on a yaris though so can't...

Hahaha that's so excessive, I love it! So far they sound fine, we'll see how they are in use. I have caddy horns on my other car and they're nice, but those definitely need another power source.
