Trying to replace stock radio w/ head unit for 07 Toyota yaris... please help!

Make sure that is the right kit. I have read that some kits are actually for the echo and they dont fit right in the yaris. You are probably going to have to take apart the whole dash but this site has a few rpo installers so they should tell you the correct way to do this.

 

From that pic it looks like there is a plate that goes over the vents and radio. A plate should go on the front to replace the stock one and have a hole for a single DIN radio and some kind of hole for storage. The Yaris is a very new car and ive heard that a lot of the parts are coming out in the spring so you may have to wait a while for the proper kit.

Edit-Ill be joining you on yarisowners.com

 

Hmmmmmm, chainsaw, crowbar, and some C-4 , that oaghta git er done!!!!

Looks like a challenge for something custom, hope someone make a kit for that thing soon.... Probably end up something like the early 90's GM truck kits. And will probably lose the fancy looking silver front, Unless the kit is dyed the same color as the dash, which would look good.

 

The good thing is the yaris is based on the same platform as the Scion xA and xB. Those are supposed to be tuner friendly to fit in with the younger generation so i assume the Yaris should get its fair share of parts as well(but you know what they say about assuming) I wouldnt be surprised to see a well matched kit in the future.

 

new cars with the intergrated console require a very expensive kit that replaces the whole thing, except with a whole for the new radio. Either way, it's not gunna be fun. I recommend buying the kit online somewhere for cheap, and then getting a shop to put it in for you. Unless you REALLY like a Challenge!

(i know this mostly because i've done my friend's 04 Accord, and tha was even worse, he had to buy a kit with all the climate controls and stuff on it , just to replace the face of the console. It cost him about 200 bucks just for the kit. NOT FUN.)

good luck!

 

I see where youre going with that ibanez but if you look in the pic there is a seperation between the radio and AC controls

 

Hi
I just looked in my Metra catalog and I saw no kit listed for your car. Can you tell me the Metra Part #

If you do have the correct kit, it will come with a very complete set of instructions. Read the instructions carefully and then if you fell you do it, by all means do it. But if you have any doubts, let a pro do it.

Post the part number of that kit.

 

hmm. i thought that was just a "beauty line", but I guess I am wrong yet again. lol. thanks weird 22

 

And I just finished a little research. They are right. The kit you mentioned is a standard Toyota kit.Your Yaris has a small write up in Mobile Electronics magazine, July 2006, page 66-67. Lots of good info here.

The picture of the dash is different than the one you posted. The picture I have shows a standard Toyota radio. So change the trim piece and your in business
