Compatiblity; Vitz with Yaris Stereo
Hi Guys. I just bought a Toyota Vitz, Japanese import. Anyway, I was offered a standard stereo to replace the console inbuilt unit, but I preferred the inbuilt unit; I feel it leaves the interior with a nicer finish and deters theft.
The problem is twofold: 1) The Japanese have this weird FM range; I would have to install an FM band expander to be able to tune to local stations. 2) The CD player only plays standard CDs - no mp3/wma etc.. I was hoping to replace the stereo with another inbuilt unit. I searched around on ebay and there are a number of replacements I can buy. My questions are; 1) I seem to find only Yaris stereos - although the shape seems identical externally to my Vitz model, would I encounter any problems installing one of these in my car? 2) Are there any security codes I need to be aware of to replace the unit? What sort of issues can I encounter? Thanks for your feedback. |

Wow, a two year bump.
Looking at the Japanese and European wiring diagrams, you should be able to swap in a 2006-2011 European market Yaris OEM radio without an issue (they use the same connectors with the same pinouts). I don't believe that the radios used in the Yaris had security codes.
