Such as?

I would think that based on what we found with the Yaris it would probably be doable for any drive by wire Toyota.

nice...

bronsin · 06-04-2009, 05:21 PM

IM thinking something similiar will work for all such DBW cars.

bronsin · 06-05-2009, 03:47 PM

I have two sets of resistors and two sets of switches I bought that I didnt use. For $5 Ill send you a set. PM me if intereted.

Hold on just a couple more days and I'll have that module installed. I just haven't had time to rip the dash again. I also have to rethink my clutch switch, the switch broke. That's what I get for going cheap :) Anyway, I'll prolly just buy the oem one. I'll put picks up when I'm done with all of this...

POORSHA · 06-05-2009, 11:24 PM

thanks i might just take you up on it

In order to provide the on-off indicators which some folks want...rather than messing with wiring LEDS and such, why not just buy an illuminated switch button? Would that work? If so, which Digikey part number would you supersmart electronics types recommend?

I'm about to make an offer on an 07 Yaris without cruise and am MOST grateful that I stumbled on this thread! Thank you all!

The illuminated switch won't work without the same type of driving circuitry, due to the switch being a momentary input (rather than a latching switch). Basically, in electronic terms you need a flip-flop, which takes a single input and toggles the output each time the input is pulsed.

I'm probably going to do this mod soon and I'm about to gather what parts I need. I'll probably go with the mounted two button method, and since I have an 07 3-door HB auto, I'll need to run a wire through the firewall. This seems like it will be the same installation as Patrick Johnson (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...&postcount=101). I'll get the resistors/switches from digikey, where should I get the wiring and what gauges? Also how hard is it to feed a wire through the rubber hose and have it come out the other side?

The wire gauge isn't critical, as there is no current involved (we're just switching a signal input). I would go with between 22 and 18 gauge. You could purchase a small spool at Radio shack or Home Depot.

Feeding through the passenger side rubber boot is fairly easy. Poke a small hole, shove through a semi-rigid piece of wire, and then pull through your wire.

Awesome install Patrick Johnson and bronsin! Looks just like mine. I'm glad this is working out for everyone :)

bronsin · 06-23-2009, 09:28 AM

How many have done the install? Many who see mine comment on the coolness. But an equal number say "You did WHAT?!"

PS I still have a set of four switches and the resistors to do this mod. $5 gets it mailed to your door.

Bravejus · 06-28-2009, 09:39 AM

I just did this mod also, however i mounted my two button setup in the empty pop out panel next to the dimmer roller switch.

luigi · 07-06-2009, 03:27 PM

Bravejus, i was thinking of mounting in the same place. Got any pics?

trialsdork · 07-06-2009, 03:51 PM

It worked! I mounted the buttons inside the coin tray as a trial, they're completely hidden. I also installed a mini-deans connector so that I can take the whole mess out in the event of a warranty problem. I think I'll relocate them to the empty removable panel next to the dash light dial soon, for user friendliness. THanks!!!!
