2006 Yaris Hatchback Replacing Stereo Head Unit help - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well, First I'd research what units can replace the unit with adapting hardware. Some don't have any adaptation capabilities, so you may not be able to, without having some MacGyver skills. The unit's manufacturer also has wiring adapters to have their units installable in various vehicles. Go to a stereo shop and ask the sales person what there is in the line of available hu's for your car, and then make a decision on what you want to get, and if E-bay or whomever your source can supply you with that model HU. There are a myriad of different mountings with hu's and there are also many universally adaptable ones as well. You'll just have to do the research as to the unit you want, and its adaptability with your vehicle. - short answer (yes you'll need mounting brackets originals are not removable from the unit's chassis) Every NEW unit I've seen,
had installation instructions in the box. Lastly, you need to make sure that the trim adapting will be EXACTLY LISTED for your unit and the model of your vehicle, or the final product will not look like how you want/expect it to!
Good Luck, and . . . . Happy Moding!
