[@niichan-jan3337]

I need any adapters? or you can simply connect the cables to the new radio. Which radios can you recommend with bluetooth? Please🙏

[@DriveShifty]

@@niichan-jan3337 Hi there. Yeah so you are gonna need a "universal to yaris wiring harness". You may need an other adaptor depending on which brand of radio you go for. Some brands will include the adaptor anyways. If it dosen't then you just need to get a "(Brand name of your radio) to universal wiring harness". I would stick to the well known brands like Sony, Pinoneer, Kenwood ect. They are tried and tested!

Niice! Thank you! But how do you install the second player? Can't figure out those cables, and is it possible to install a subwoofer? (Yaris 2004 D4D)

[@DriveShifty]

Second player as in a new head unit? You will need a universal to toyota radio adaptor harness. There is ways to install a sub off the orginal harness and radio but they don't sound that great. Best and easiest bet is to install a new headunit and run the sub off rca cables

[@bogscave]

@@DriveShifty ''Second player as in a new head unit?'' yes, cause I can't find a new modern unit for such an old car hah, also I have the spot prepared for a nea one on the bottom (like for a Pioneer or something with a CPU and Bluetooth) but didn't find a way to connect it to the car, will search for the adaptor, so the both units will work but the music I'll get from the new one, Thank you!

[@DriveShifty]

@@robertfields4836 The thing I am thinking is that if there radio isn't turning off then it must be wired worng or something is crossing wires. When you have the keys off and out nothing should be on. To wire a headunit in they need power, ground and a 12v key switch. The reason I'm asking if it was after market is that someone could have wired the power into the key switch as it also sends 12v. I haven't got any other thearys than that as it sound like a wiring gremillion specific to you. Next set would propable be an auto sparky. Hope this helps

Hi, thanks for this video. I followed all the stages of disassembly like you, but the lower part (the car radio) does not get off. I checked that I removed all the screws, but the car radio does not move. I try very hard, it does not come, I'm afraid to break the frame... Please, can you help me ? It would be grateful, bc u the only person who made a video about yaris 1 phase 2... Thank you !

[@TH3TIMP5]

Hi their. I'm amusing that you are still trying to take it out from the dash. Their is only those 4 bolts that are holding it in. If it's the first time that part has ever came off it is going to be really tough. Even though I have had my one out loads it's still tough. Hold the sides of it closer to the top and pull towards the middle of the car

[@CianODonnell]

Yes I can confirm that part is really difficult to remove, I used brute force in the end but I could easily have broken it.

[@Jahmed5635]

Would love another video on this without you missing anything out etc

[@DriveShifty]

What did I miss out?

[@movindudassanayake4322]

Hi, this has been very helpful. However, I was wondering whether you would be able to help me finding which of the wires from the stock headunit goes to the speakers. I’m trying to tap them to go to my subwoofer (don’t have enough money atm to get an aftermarket headunit). Any help with a wiring diagram or advice would be useful.

[@DriveShifty]

Hi there. You would need to run a high to low rca converter as the signals won't work well for your sub. Here is the first one I found on ebay .www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGH-LEVEL-SPEAKER-TO-LOW-LEVEL-RCA-CONVERTER-2-CHANNEL-CABLE-ADAPTER-CTLOC10/361011092624?hash=item540df01c90:g:13QAAOSw2oJZ1P-I:rk:17:pf:0 Best off going for the rear speakers as they are the easiest to find. I can't remember what the colours are but I know it has it's own plug. So it you were to look at a adaptor harness for a yaris it would be the conector with the 4 wires going to it. You will be able to find a wiring diagram on www.yarisclubuk.com/ for it. If I was you I would look about for a cheap headunit on ebay or facebook for £10. Would save you a load of hassle! Hope this helps.

[@blackdaan]

Buy a radio second hands. Its 20 euro's

[@_B_A]

hey very cool and helpful video would any wiring be different for a aftermarket stereo. Thanks

[@DriveShifty]

Between the two phase I'm not sure. Don't think so as the wiring harness are the same for both cars. If you have the rear parcel shelf speaker, CD change or the toyota under seat sub woofer I can see it being different. A good wiring diagram should sort that out! You can also get different plugs for different head units but there is an adapter for everything! Hope this helps. Sorry for the slow response

[@_B_A]

Drive Shifty Sorry for such a long time to reply. Good videos ☺

[@ValterZzzz]

Can you connect your new after market radio with that uper built-in display and volume wheel?

[@DriveShifty]

You can only get a steering wheel adptor. There is harness you can buy that adapts it all. Make sure your headunit is also made for steering wheel controls

[@lessewer]

Is the steereng wheel control working with the new headunit?

[@DriveShifty]

No. You need another harness for that! YarisClubUK facebook group is the place to search for that. A lot of people ask about it!

[@techymann150]

Just seen this, what parts are required? Does it fit in original place? And where did you purchase everything from

[@DriveShifty]

Sorry! I did reply to this but I though it was on a different video xD So if you are putting in a new headunit you will need: Single din head unit (Any brand that you like) [Anywhere that sells car audio stuff] A radio wiring harness for a yaris [Ebay is usaly the cheapest] And you may need a universal wiring harness to your brand of radio. [Ebay again] It fits right under the old radio where the storage cubby is. Hope this helps

[@warry25]

All you need now is some channel branding! (Logo etc.)

[@DriveShifty]

Yeah xD I've got the professional voice sorted! Lamo

[@matenorth]

Hello, why not take out the factory unit and put the new stereo there so you can keep the storage space?

[@DriveShifty]

Hi there. You would need a different fascia in order to do this or would have to have a steady hand with a dermal to cut a hole in the space above. The factory headunit is where you would put your cd's into

[@matenorth]

​​@@DriveShiftyThanks.Yeah, I replaced mine today and put it on the tray but my stereo is not exactly 1din I think or the tray cutout is smaller so it doesn't fit properly. Also I couldn't secure it so it's there suspended, hope it doesn't fall. The screws that holded the tray cannot be used for my new stereo, I couldn't figure out if there were screw holes in the new stereo. Any thoughts?

[@DriveShifty]

@@matenorth What's your new stereo? Model and band name? It might not be a single din unit. I know that you can't run them with the extra bit of trim that comes with the head units face plate

[@niksgee]

Hi, I own 2 toyota yaris. One is made in japan 99 but has cd player. I have just got my old yaris 02 made in france back but that has tape player (both toyota yaris factory). I want to keep the 02 due to low mileage and its ulez compliant as made in EU. So my question is, could i swap over the tape player/cd player? Would the connections be the same, despite one is made in japan and one is made in france?

[@DriveShifty]

Good question! From my thinking the plugs should be the same as there is only one universel adaptors for them. The only thing you would have to swap over is the headunit it's self and the trim peices that go around it. With then both being Phase 1's the process is different at the start compared to Phase 2's. You just need to skip the taking the plastic surround for the clocks and just start at taking the bolts out from behind the heater control nobs.

[@Hdx050]

Just bought a toyota yaris 2004. If I decide to put a radio does it play things from your phone with a cable going into the radio

[@DriveShifty]

Hi there. Depends on what radio you put into it! A lot of aftermarket headunits even have bluetooth build in to them

[@lukaszjeznach]

Does anyone know how the upper panel with the on-board computer works with a non-factory radio? Does the volume knob work? The display shows information from the radio?

[@DriveShifty]

It only shows you the time and your MPG stats after removing the old radio. The controls on it do not work with the new radio

[@japol1995]

Good day, do You have a leveling for the dash board bulbs. I am trying to check my odometer lights and fuel tank lights on my 2004 Yaris

[@DriveShifty]

By leveling do you mean video? If so no but if you want it out I can help. Off the top of my head for the phase 2 to get the dash display out you need to: -Take the surround off just like the first step of the video. -Unplug the conector that is right there. -Take the 4 bolts that hold the display in (I think there is 4 this is off the top of my head) -Unplug the side connector on the left handside of the front of the display -Pull the display toward you and wiggle it out of its hole -There is two plugs on the back of the display so don't tug on it but try and undo them as you are wiggling them out. Hope this helps. It will be different for a phase 1 and maybe if it's left drive but it shouldn't be far off. I'm unsure if there is bulbs on the back but it is worth a look. Thats only because it's been a while since I have hhad mine out. Dosen't take to long to pull out so worth a look!

[@rackoslair4758]

Just got a Yaris Myself, do you reckon the process will be any different if I use a custom lower bit with the old radio delete so only the aftermarket radio will be in it along with the pocket? Will I need to modify anything to work properly or it should be as straight forward as yours was?

It will be the should be the same. I've never had a double din plate. All the mounting hardware will be in the same place some screw might not have been used
