Toyota Yaris 2005 to 2015 how to remove factory radio & fit double din radio

[@tonyw9334]

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!

[@henrygroover829]

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.

[@komajimmy]

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!

[@PeaceAMust]

I'm so slow 🐌 but after watching this so well explained video i know feel very confident and excited to crack on. Many thanks for your superb work.🙏🏼

[@BigManBazz]

Literally exactly what I needed and uploaded only a few days ago! Nice one mate, cheers!

[@kennyc3670]

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.

[@J_Alrighty]

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.

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.

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?

[@PJsprojects]

You would need an adapter that matched the make of the aftermarket radio.

[@lindalouisewhitear6244]

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.

[@AT-ex8dx]

I have installed a pioneer 700 series on my yaris, but I don’t have the steering controls anymore. Is there anyway to have the controls back?

[@archie6593]

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 :)

[@PJsprojects]

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

[@cichibambosa3219]

I have a question, what radio are you using for this replacement?

[@PJsprojects]

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.

[@seanlynch2523]

can you do this on a toyota yaris 2000?

[@telios7206]

Great job there,so the line out to connect to the speakers and amplifier will be were

[@PJsprojects]

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.

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

I mean the size of the screen- which fit in to this facial adapter

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.

Could we have a list of the parts like the fittings and the radio and the face plate? Do you think a novice could do this

[@Landogarner83]

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.
