Stereo Install - Toyota Yaris Forums

barryware · 10-23-2006, 05:35 PM

Howdy.. I have read a few posts and I thought there was a picture of the back of a stock Yaris stereo which I can't find.

I plan on installing a Pioneer DEH-P4800MP deck. I have ordered a dash install kit along with a wire harness. I need a little help from those of you who have already replaced your radio.

What else will I need? I ask so I am prepared to keep the trips to radio shack down to a minimum while installing and I really don't want to tear the car apart to look and put it back together again while I gather my components.

Do I need an adapter for the antenna on the car to the new radio? I don't believe that the wire harness comes with an adapter for the aux connection. The replacement radio has provisions for an aux input. Actually two, one is a 1/8" stereo plug and the other are RCA inputs. What would I need for this?

I am happy with the stock radio but I want to free up one of the bays for some other stuff. Is there a market for the stock radio?

Thanks for the help and advice.

Check eBay. There are hundreds of OEM radios with very few bids. You might be able to sell yours. I elected to just give mine away to a forum member for shipping costs rather than have to pay an eBay listing fee for nothing or next to it.

Thanks Guys (or Gals)... I have everything on order but it is not here yet. I don't want to mess with the factory wiring. I did purchase a wiring harness to connect to the wiring harness that comes with the deck to the harness on the car. I was a bit concerned as to the aux input. I have a stand alone XM receiver that I currently have connected to the aux jack in the center console. It is the other end that connects to the radio I am thinking about. In the pics from the link you posted (thanks), I see a plug that goes into the radio that has only four wires, two green and two red... Are these the connections for the aux input? The greens look like they are going to the same terminal and the two reds are separate. The wiring diagram for the car shows that the aux connection should be shielded... They don't look shielded in the pic.
Once I have it apart, I can ring out the connections and figure it out. Like I said, I want to be prepared to complete the task without having to run for parts and supplies during the install.

Thanks for all the help.

to keep your factory aux plug you will need to make a custom adaptor from the four wires you mentiond, to either of your inputs on your new deck.
