Anyone had an OE head unit apart? (aux port) - Toyota Yaris Forums

CoryM · 05-23-2012, 01:14 PM

Hey guys,

I have an 09 5dr with the factory aux port in the head unit face. I want to have an aux wire in the console/armrest so I can hide all the wires etc when parked. I was thinking about removing the head unit, taking it apart and soldering on another set of wires to run to an aux port in console. I am wondering if this is viable or not. As in, is there enough room to do this in the head unit?

Thanks for any input on my...... aux input

Cheers.

My 09 5 door US Yaris had the external AUX jack via the connector on the back of the radio, so I haven't specifically seen the one you are referring to, but from my experience, there is a lot of open space within a double DIN head unit. So, you should have plenty of space to solder a set of wires parallel to the existing jack and bring them out.

Thanks Scott. I didn't think it would be too tight in there but figured I would ask. I'll give it a go once I get caught up on a few other things.... OK, a lot of other things. Not enough time in a week anymore.

Thanks again.
