Have anyone tried 9" stereo in 2010 yaris?

I don't have an external amp on it. Just using the built in amp in the head unit. It's a Chinese unit sold under a number of different brand names. This one was advertised as being specifically for Toyota, so the front panel is the correct size and doesn't need spacers to fit the dash opening. Of course, here in Australia, the touch controls are on the wrong side of the screen. So it was important to fix the wrong wiring in the supplied adaptor cabling for the steering wheel controls.

Since I retired, I am only driving around 130 kilometres (about 80 miles) most weeks. If I was doing regular long trips I would most likely upgrade the sound system.

The main reason for the previous head unit upgrade was to provide a screen for the reversing camera. That unit was starting to fail, so I fitted this as a replacement. I don't have the equipment to work on SMD circuit boards, or I would have looked at repairing the older unit. It was cheaper to buy a new unit than to purchase the tools I would need...

The rear view camera is great for hooking up the boat trailer, as I can see the tow ball and trailer coupling on screen. It's also handy reversing down the boat ramp. I have a Hobie Tandem Island. It's 5.5 metres long. Boat and trailer are close to to 7 metres. All up weight is 360 kilograms, well within the towing capacity of the Yaris, but looks huge hooked on behind.
