Fitting Headunit To Yaris: Phase 2! (phase 1 Too)

[Moffmo]

The tutorials in the workshop only work on phase 1, but on the phase 2 the layout of the dash is very different, for example the top half of the dash is actually attached to the speedometer bay...

So what you need to do is firstly is pull off the Speedometer by gripping sides and pull, quite tricky, but dont worry it will come out eventually...

This is why its different in phase two, in phase one you can ignore the steps involving taking the speedomter out.

After doing this, again for phase 2 only, you have you unscrew the screw holding dash to the dash lol...as shown here by the arrow and circle :)

After this you need to take heater knobs off and unscrew the screws as shown in the pic. When you have done that, place your hands where the red lines are along dash (picture went a bit off, but you can figure it out), grab the edges and pull, and i mean really yank it! (dont be scared!)

You should end up in this situation

Try and put this put this out of the way without breaking the wiring, i just shoved it in speedo dash hole and it stuck it in there, its holds it pretty well ;)

Anyway, now you need to unscrew bottom half, you need to unscrew the screws shown by the arrows here....(Screws cannot been seen in pic, arrows show where it would be)

Now remove the ashtray (press down on metal tab and pull it out) then unscrew the screws there as shown here...

Now again grab the sides and pull, i found it easier to pull at the very bottom where dash board is and lever it out as far as possible. then i gripped the top and placed my thumbs on the sides of top bit, i levered with my thumb (pushed with my thumb) and it came out with a bit of a fight...but at least you dont hit yourself :D

Disconnect ALL the wiring that goes into the headunit and lighter. Congratulations you have a free unit...

To put new headunit in, you need to unscrew the cash tray and put your headunit in from BEHIND where cash tray was, screw the headunit on like the cash tray was held. hey presto, you got a heavier lower dash :D

Start putting the bottom bit in, but leave it reasting agaist gear shifter...This will allow you to wire it all, get your Halfords adaptor and plug the old toyota connections into it, then connect the adaptor the the headunit wiring, and if need, plug the headunit wiring into the headunit :D

Like this

S - Standard plug/wiring

HA - Halfords adaptor

HC - Headunit Connection :D

After that, get it all put away screw it all in and this should be a finished project :D

Hope this helps you all!

Tips

Dont leave key in ignition this will blow your fuse :S (when disconnecting and connecting)

test the headunit works before putting everything back ;)

If you find the headunits memory resets itself, you need to look for a yellow wire and a red wire, there will be two halfs, you need to make sure the red wire is connected to the red wire and the yello wire is connected to the yellow wire.

Hope this helps

Matt, your my hero!

Thanks a million -- u have no idea how i was struggling 'til I found your posting!

The descriptions are brill, and the photos invaluable! Cheers!

I've had to take the dash off 2 or 3 times now to fit my sat-nav - must say I've worked on many easier cars before :S

Thanks again,

Don

[Moffmo]

:D no problem mate, i too faced the same problem!

I too have taken the dash off to install sat nav

[maz-uk]

Thanks alot mate. I have managed to install a double din system with ur help and i think jezz. Made it very easy. Actually i got one query also. After finishing the install when i switched on my car the Battery light and the airbag light is on now. Any ideas?

[Moffmo]

not sure, maybe the DD unit is taking up too much Battery?

As a side note (unlikely) just check your fuses

[maz-uk]

Umm i did check the fuses. All ok. DD consuming Power? never knew that could be a possibility its just a normal Alpine DD, but actually it is 50x4watts so could be possible. Will send a pic as soon as i get my phone connected to comp. Looks Very nice. Oh yeah and thanks to Jaxx not jezz

[jaxx]

always happy to help!

Cheers for the great instructions Matt. Fitted my new CD player last week. Wouldn't have been able to do it without your post.

I did want to cry at some point when a) I thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew and b) when I finally got to fit the unit in the slot and it didn't seem to fit (the unit's fascia had an little extra plastic surround that needed to be removed).

Cheers anyway, saved me a few quid on installation.

Mick

[maz-uk]

Sorry i cant post any pix. Unable 2. But it sure looks/sounds nice. Thanks again.

[Moffmo]

nice one guys! It does take alot of confident i agree, but the end result is soo pleasing..

Also, next time you need to take your dash off, you know how ;)

Mick - I had that, the dash would just not go back on, and i thought :censor: iv really buggered it up now. The clock thing was catching on a bit of wire and the plastic cones which guide it into the holes were bent...

Doh

[Crisis]

Does this start the Phase 1 part at taking the two dials off?

Also what parts do I need to buy? It seems I need to buy these 3 parts to do it properly, or do I? Let me know!

Fascia Surround:T55406-52010-B0

£38

Double Din Unit: FP-11-03 (Rav 4)

£40

ISO Lead: PC2-17-4 (Toyota)

£12

Cause thats £90 of extras! Is that right?

[Ryan1985]

Yeah Crisis, need all they bits thats why I haven't done it yet!!!

[Crisis]

Ouch, I guess its best to do it right though... Maybe Xmas would be a good time people always want to buy little things so maybe an ISO Lead hehe.

[Moffmo]

Crisis, make sure you get the fascia surround for whatever phase yaris you get ;)

[Crisis]

Well yes... Im not that stupid (although... Im sure I'l end up doing something similar)

HI, Moffman,

Is it possible for you to take a snapshot of how you've held the aftermarket HU in place? Plse...

My Br's bought a yaris and it has the cash box missing, ive tried to put the HU in and there is nowhere to screw it in :-(

Do i need brackets on the cage on the HU?

Plus do i need to take the plastic surround on my stereo off?

Many Thanks

FH

[Moffmo]

Hi, i wont be able to take any pics until friday, but you should be able to screw it in somehow.

The standard cd player is held on with a metal bracket at the sides, which is extended up to where the cashbox would go, i simply screwed into the side of the headunit.

And yes you will need to take the plastic surround off the stereo

P.S. if anyone else take pictures before friday please do, ta
