The metra harness will connect to the adapter for the OEM radio. The other end of the metra harness will connect to the adapter for your new radio. You just have to crimp the wires from your new radio to the metra harness adapter - you will not need to cut/crimp anything from your OEM radio. The wires you listed below are color coated to match your new HU (most likely the same colors). Make sure you have a wire cutter, crimp tool, and

Yeah, I figured that out and was posting it as a PS to share. I hate it when people ask a question and then add on "never mind, I figured out the answer" without telling what the answer was ;)

And also, I said screw it, and ordered the iPod connector, too. So now I'll have to wait another week to install this thing.

Is the original Head Unit discussed in this thread still available for purchase? If so, where? I'm having trouble finding it anywhere.
Thanks in advance! |

Has anyone upgraded from this unit? After all this time. This unit has been out for a few years now, so it seems like someone would have come up with a better unit that runs windows CE 8 or something by now. There are a few things I would like to see in an upgrade unit:
1. Better visibility in direct sunlight 2. Better overall bluetooth quality. Better sound pickup and mic quality, along with better overall output to the person on the other end who's listening. 3. A slightly faster unit. This one is quick, but I wouldn't call it fast. When you change screens and such. Not really much of a complaint here, but if we're talking upgrades, might as well go all out. So this would be hardware upgrades, like a faster CPU and more RAM. 4. Better volume controls might be helpful. There tends to be a disparity between radio volume and bluetooth volume. 5. Let the upgrade unit be running windows 7 CE or even Windows 8 CE. Upgraded operating system. Anything else? Has anyone upgraded yet? |

Buying/Installing an In-dash Navigation System and Backup Camera
Hi Guys,
I own a 2009 Yaris Sedan Base. I was wondering where can I order online an in-dash Navigation System and a compatible backup camera? Also, would the dealer install the parts that I bought or I have to do it myself? Finally, how much would it cost me to buy every thing from the dealer and have the dealer do the installation? I live in Ontario Canada, a ballpark figure would do. Thanks, |

I owned the 2007 Yaris Seden, upgraded my in-dash entertainment system with a Sony XB64 for $299 (no GPS, but a similar model can be had for $600?) $50 for parts and did the installation myself. The backup camera from ebay for $20 and compatible with the head unit.
So I'm guessing $700 total? would be cheaper if you can get the head unit on sale |

Hi there,
I've purchased a similar unit but have problems installing the unit. (I've installed a single din headunit into my yaris before). The problem I have is that on the factory mounting brackets the came with the yaris there are "dimples" on the mount which were used to hold onto the factory unit.. However the Headunit I have purchased does not have those holes.., So what's happened now is when I screw the bracket on, those "dimples" are causing the bracket to not sit flush and instead stick out a bit and now I am unable to install this headunit.. Can anyone help? |

Well the bluetooth died on this unit. The unit that the thread is talking about that everyone bought. Anyone else have this problem?
It has ceased to function entirely. And of course, no indication on the screen of what may have gone wrong. Tried several different phones, so its not the phone. |

2 Din new navigation radio system
Hello All,
Sorry for my previous post where the picture were not public :-( I'm looking to change the factory radio of my 2011 Yaris Hatchback 4 doors (Canadian model) for a new navigation radio system. l'm worry if it will fit whit my current radio trim. See images below. The new navigation system that I'm looking for: My actual radio see trim detail: Other Yaris radio model (sedan or newer?) trim where radio side button goes under the trim. What do you thing? Thank you in advance! |

Judging from the pics I would say that model is not going to fit in a hatchback yaris.

I disagree. Looks like it may fit fine as it replaces not just the stereo but also replaces some of the plastic surrounding. The other yaris is a European version and I'm sure if needed you can order the trim and it snaps in.

I want this eBay Android Unit but wondered if anyone had any experience with these kinds of things? Was going to go the Nexus 7 route again but figured if these are already all set up and better... and I would really like a back up camera.

See CTScott's comparison pic: Above, regular double DIN sized radio and surround bezel, below, the kinda double DIN sized looking factory radio. I still haven't figured out in which market the silver "integrated" head unit was sold. Has to be Europe, because manual with tach, and electronic A/C controls. |
