Advice on harness

[N9QGS]

I hope you can use the Pioneer HU in your Yaris, I was not able to in mine; cause I had the integrated stereo in the S model, and when you pull that out you have no supports for a radio, and Metra only makes it for the single din.... :-( Probably have to order quite a bit of stuff from Toyota to make your car accept a double din, I think your okay if you get the cheaper model Yaris with the "factory" radio. Good luck - Ron

Oh man, now you have me worried. I have the S model with the intergrated radio too. I do appreciate the warning though.

But i bought Metras Double Din trim plates pictured here (which i thought was the support system)---> http://www.amazon.com/Metra-95-8202-.../dp/B000K52CY2 and toyota's oem center bezel (silver outside trim piece) from my dealer.

Im i missing something here? If i cant get this damn pioneer in my car i think im going to !!!!!!!

Can anyone else confirm this? Do i need anything else to mount the HU?

Also on another note, i think im just going to take metra's smart harness and just cut the universal plug off, and crimp that end of the wires to the harness that the pioneer unit brings. is crimping ok?

That's all you need. Just transfer the sheet metal brackets from the sides of the integrated radio to the sides of the new one.

maybe the sheet metal bracket is what N9QGS is referring to as not being present in the integrated radio...(is that even possible)???/


i am seriously going to kill myself if i spent all of this money just to find out i cant install it!! Especially when im getting it delivered tomorrow!!!!



Edit: Found this youtube video of the intergrated radio being removed from the yaris and the radio doesnt have a sheet metal bracket around it!!!!! At around 1:40 you can see what im talking about. WHAT DO I DO!!!

The most you may have to do is to hammer or grind down the alignment "bumps" on the OEM brackets to allow yours to sit properly.

What to do? Step 1 DON'T kill yourself.

So let me get this straight..*loosens noose around neck as i lol at palmers post*, when you say case for the intergrated radio, you mean that there IS a metal piece/bracket that holds the 2 din intergrated radio in place so that the radio doesnt fall on its weight? Meaning that that same case can be detached/unscrewed from integrated radio and attached into my 2 din pioneer HU and use it IN ADDITION to the metra dash kit i purchased therefore not needing any additional parts? I just want to make sure i understood what you were saying.

I had seen your post before btw, but then again you were installing a single din unit, so i thought it would be different from my install. But i was using it as a reference for when i was planning all of this.

As you can all see i am an idiot when it comes to car electronics, as ive never done this before so i appreciate you guys' patience and help!

I am a computer nerd so im willing to trade my knowledge for yours if need be
