Help with 09 yaris sedan kenwood radio?

[Fiosguy]

Ok then, I'll give the harness thing a shot. Scary..

The 09 center looks different than the 08. I want to put this in:

I'm worried about cutting something I shouldn't, I do appreciate the help but the Yaris is my new baby. Only 300 miles old.

Any ideas on the toolkit I would need? Torx? Anything like that?

Interesting - I hadn't noticed that they changed the radio for the 09 sedans to the same style as the liftbacks. Theoretically you can use the 08 LB install kit. With the aftermarket harnesses you don't cut anything; You just plug the harness into the car's connector and mate the wires from the new harness to the wires from your radio's harness.

Does yours have this radio:



Or this one like my LB:



As far as tools go - Just your fingertips (to pop off the black trim pieces along side of the silver area) and a phillips screwdriver to remove the radio.

Behold the ugly stock radio:



See why I am scared?

I would imagine I have to pull that cover off, but can't find a car kit for the 09 yaris. Didn't an earlier model have similar? I'd hate to spend the cash on a part I couldn't use.

I'm trying to put this in: (with the gps unit, that goes internal).

Ahhh - That is the old standard Sedan radio. It looks like the one I posted is the optional upgrade.

In that case what IsLNdbOi said is right on - Use the same kit and harness as for the 08 Sedan. The big chuck of silver is the actual face of your radio, so removing it is still not an issue. You will need the Toyota "yaris sedan non- integrated radio trim", which is about $80 from a dealer (this replaces the silver radio face with the trim shown in the picture I posted). Your radio is a single DIN one, so you'll end up the the radio and a pocket under it.

Guys, this is awesome. I can't thank you enough.

I'm desperate enough to try it! I'm definitely going to become a regular on this forum I can already tell. Thanks to both of you!
