This is so helpful. I'm pretty good at DIY, but would not have attempted that job without seeing this video as had no idea how a Yaris dash and original stereo was even fitted. You made it really simple - and great hints about protecting the dash when taking out the radio and not losing the screws etc. Thanks so much - you're a star!
Thank you! I accidentally pushed the heat dial all the way into the dashboard. Popped right out after I got the radio panel out. A bit of glue, and now I can use the AC dial again lol.
Hey do you maybe know where i could buy shorter side panels from your video i am buying radio from china and it covers upper front of side radio panels so i need just lower part like yours
I would say if you are not all thumbs you can do it. Tips: - check your radio that you have the same connectors as shown before buying adaptors. (mine has a completely different antenna connector that needs a wired adaptor too) - the "spare" connector is for steering wheel controls. So if you have those and want them to keep working you need an adaptor for that as well. (have not yet researched if those are available or have to be improvised) As for parts numbers those can change depending on the radio toyota used. - Radio: use any double din size radio with ISO connectors you like (the one in this vid is apperently no longer available) - Facia (face plate) CT24TY22 this number is silver. (should contain everything you don't scavenge from the existing radio) - wiring adaptors: use the one shown in this vid (if you have the same connectors as shown) or search "Toyota ISO adaptor" and compare the toyota side with foto from your radio.
Thanks for the video, it is very usefull and detailed. Can I you use the wheel control buttons to operate the replacement head unit or do I need some additional adapter for that?
I was trade fitting car electronics all day every day, you would need to see a retailer but bear in mind this radio is years old and is no longer manufactured.
PJs projects thank for your reply , is there any email I can contact you on? The aux cable I was using is the same aux rjay works with other cars and sound comes all around?
I really like the way you explained everything step by step, and pointed out all the little pitfalls. It's unfortunate that the 2008 Yaris 4-door base model sold in the US (which is also called the Yaris sedan, and may not be available elsewhere) is quite different - I'm expecting that the Android Auto head unit I've ordered is going to need some cutting to fit. Some of the differences in the version I have: * There is more space between the A/C vents, and the emergency flasher switch is between them * There are no knurled wheels to adjust the vent louver angle * There are three knobs on the bottom section of the fascia rather than 1.
This video is very helpful because of well you explain everything and why you do it. How not to scratch it, and carfully install everything. This video makes me confident I can replace my own stereo and not destroy any original parts. Really good work!
Good installation video. Been nice to have seen the radio working with all its functions and original connections to the steering wheel and fascia controls.
Great video! Extremely clear. Just wondered, can you use the wheel controls to operate the replacement head unit, or would I need an additional adapter for that?
Brilliant video, & so easy to follow. I’ve a 2008 Yaris, same factory unit, that I’m replacing with a pioneer cd Apple play unit. As I currently have steering wheel controls would I need to buy connect 2 SWC adaptor for the pioneer, as well as an ISO fitting harness, along with the replacement facia kit? Many thanks.
Very good instructional video, especially with all the clips that I would've probably broke if I hadn't seen this video. The steering wheel controls dont work now unfortunately, but its easy to change the volume with the radio knob.
This is a great video. I just did my own and couldnt have done it without you. The only thing I would add from my own experience (2007 Yaris mfg in France) is that the plastic around the speedometer comes with the stereo when you do it in these steps. No harm when i yanked it all of together, but i suppose the speedometer plastic should technically come off first and back on last.
Hey mate, u rly nailed it. Great and kinda professional video even for dummies. I could almost swear u didn’t skip any critical thing or forgot about any necessary comment. Thx for being pro!
Hello very helpful video 👍. I have a Yaris 2008 , with exactly the same stereo. Looking to change it. Are you from Manchester, by any chance, maybe you could do it for me. Thanks
How did you find the fit an finish of the facia kit? I've heard people say the silver colour is way off the original and that the trim doesn't sit flush?
6:49 Please can you help me ? My Toyota Yaris 2009 MK2 stereo does not have the usual Aerial socket like the one in your video. My stereo only has the plastic connectors and this is confusing me as i have bought an inline aerial amplifiyer which i can't fit as i don't have the usual aerial socket in my car radio. On all the yaris car stereo's that i have seen on youtube they have the same connections as the one in your video.
Hello the wire harness coming from the car has two different ports but loooed up the radio you Installed and it look like it only had one place you could put a plug in in this correct did you only use one plug instead of the two??
Wow, what a frickin' nightmare.... Toyota really makes this a Pain in the arse... My 1997 Toyota - Plug'n-play (no fascia, adapters, etc that I recall :P ). They have gone from 'easy to fix'/DIY Dream to proprietary in a generation.
Steering controls will not work unless you buy the correct adapter for your spec car. Give your reg number to an audio retailer so they can I’d the exact one you need. In the Uk expect around £35
can you please provide the link to the aftermarket radio? I bought one from amazon 7-inch but turned out to be small. I have a Toyota Yaris 2009. Thanks.
Did you plug the iso wire pack straight into the new unit or did you plug it into the wire pack that comes with the stereo first? Also, on another video you discussed the pioneer sph-da230 unit (I’ve just ordered one). How do I install that green handbrake cable so it is legal on a Yaris like this one? Thanks :)
Some Yaris models are on what is called ISO connections and so plug directly in to the wire that comes with the new radio,some however require an adapter cable (see example below). As for the green wire you will need to connect it to the earth wire at the base of the handbrake,you should see a push on spade connector after removing the trim and carpet,test this is a earth with a meter or test probe and crimp or solder onto that cable for your switched earth. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iso-Din-Cable-Adapter-Plug-Car-Radio-Suitable-for-Toyota-Highlander-Kluger/202916886587?fits=Model%3AYaris%2FVitz%7CCars+Year%3A2010&hash=item2f3ec9f83b:g:jpsAAOSwE9RbRGMe
Help! I’m trying to find a video on removing the lower lower trim panel to gain access to the cigarette lighter panel. My cigarette lighter no longer works so I’m installing a 2 port usb 3.0 power source to charge phones. It will be wired directly to the battery. After watching your video, It looks like removing the stereo then the climate control knob panel would then give access to this piece. Can you confirm/deny?
@@shahzamanhussain4064 The video is over four years old and so the radio is more than likely out of production, you would be better off consulting a retailer or trying Google for current prices.

Could you give several models of the pioneer screen? And size - as I would probably try to get something cheaper than Pioner. ( but I don't know which could fit into this face adapter. ) or I might get the same what you have in the video just need the model and check the price. Thank you
You would need to ask a retailer or go in the Pioneer web site for the display size of what ever model is current as this one will not be made any more. This video is over four years old and I retired from electronics over a year ago.

Hey.. Nice video So, would you consider it a better / cheaper option to replace the single din unit for a double din in order to get apple iPhone to work hands free / stream music etc? Otherwise I'm looking at a Parrot or Bury hard wired kit??? Yaris 2007 with SWC 👍
Hi, I have a Yaris 2008 but the standard radio is not like yours, but the other things (air conditioning ecc..) seem to be the same...can I do the same things you did or does it change something? Thank you
Yes your new radio will have a instruction manual detailing that the blue wire powers your aftermarket amp remote input and the new radio should have pre outs on the back to run your rca cables to the aftermarket amp for the signal. Your new amp should have an instruction manual showing speaker outputs that can then be ran to your speakers.

Hello, i bought 2din to Yaris 2010 but remotes on steering wheel doesnt work, i dont know why, do i need some adapter?
Thanks for the video, please where can I get those tools I will like to put such in my car? Thanks
I would try Amazon or EBay, if that’s no good local car shops should have what you need.
Not sure if you d be able read this and reply.
Could you be able to suggest a similar unit with reverse cam option.

Pioneer 160 dab maybe? I would consult your retailer tbh.
I have a question, what radio are you using for this replacement?
Looks like a Pioneer from a few years back.
They change the range once a year so suggest you ask a retailer for what is current.
Thanks for the video! May I ask what is the 4 screws size and type?
I think your referring to the size 2 crosshead ones.

Does the Yaris have OEM footwell lights when opening the door ?
Not the models I’ve seen, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an option in some countries.
might be a dumb question but how big of screen can I fit with that fascia? As I can't find any measurement for the screen wise.
never mind, found the measurements

Faulty aux cable or the aux cable is not pushed in enough,failing that you could have a faulty aux socket on the new radio.
