No Radio in Yaris?
WHOA! From reading the spec sheets at the top of the list here it says it includes a "Radio Prep Package"? Just speakers and no head unit? Someone tell me that isn't the case.

I don't see how they can get away with selling a car in the US without a radio in it. The Yaris is a cool little car but it's much less attractive if I have to turn around and spend extra money on either the bargain basement Toyota stereo or an aftermarket one. Maybe they will make the head unit cheap. What would be the most you'd pay for it? Personally it would have to be under $100 for me.

I don't think it means no radio I think it means you can upgrade the stock one, cuz look at the dash and tell me it wouldn't look stupid without a radio. It will come with one stock I promise.

But look at two things on the spec sheets above.
1. the radio prep package specifically says 4 speaksers w/o head unit then! 2. under the list of available Toyota accessories it says "Base Grade Audio Head Unit"...sounds like it is additional Unless I'm reading it wrong and I really hope I am. |

There is a possibility that the stereo will be a dealer installed item and several choices will be offered. That means a buyer can choose to have just a basic unit or an upscale one.

True. But like it was said above I bet the dealers will install radios in all of the cars.

check out the detailed info about the yaris here:
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47 I believe radio+4 speakers are standard for the US. The CD+4 speakers are an option. Apparently, the 4 speakers only is also an option. |

stereo
my dealer had advised me that whichever yaris model you decide on will come standard with some sort of stereo, whether you get the cd player, the single disc mp3 player, or the six disc mp3 player. i decided on a 3-door rs, so it came with the six disc option, and i'm pretty satisfied, the srs tru-surround gives it a clear, deep sound. although i find skipping through folders and mp3's somewhat awkward compared to my previous jvc mp3 player, which i might still install in the yaris.

Radio
I don't know if this was discussed already but I think I can answer the radio question in a roundabout way. The Yaris will come with 3 optional packages: convenience package, power package, and the all weather guard package.
The convenience package includes: AM/FM CD with four speakers, MP3/WMA playback capability and auxiliary audio jack. The power package is an upgrade on the convenience package and includes the stereo system in the convenience package. The All Weather Guard Package includes things like Daytime Running Lights and rear window wiper. So basically, I think that most all models that are sold at dealerships will include the Convenience package with optional Power and All Weather Guard package. The base grade audio head unit is an additional accessory in addition to what the packages offer. |
