Advice about self-installing a radio/MP3 player/CD player - Toyota Yaris Forums

RMcG · 08-06-2021, 10:42 PM

Hi everybody,

I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris base model Hatchback. I have never put a radio in the car. But I want to self-install a radio/MP3 player probably with a CD player as well. I think I probably want Bluetooth capability as well. I probably want to use aftermarket electronics, because I think the brand name Toyota electronics will be expensive.

Based on looking at Youtube videos, it certainly looks like I should be able do the installation myself. But I would like some general advice about this.

(I think the car has speakers and an antenna that came with the car from the factory.)

QUESTION(S): Does anybody have any advice, tips or general suggestions about such a self-installation?

Does anybody have any advice or tips about what electronics or other parts to buy?

Thanks very much,

R.
