Got started on the new DPS harness but have hit a few snags. It's too dark to go out to the car and pull the HU now, but I think there are some unneeded wires on the pin harnesses and not enough wires on the socket harnesses. Pics (this weekend?) once things are sorted out.
plug for D10

Pins 8 and 9 aren't shown in the EWD and are labeled "POWER ANTENNA" and "ANT TURN-ON (12V+)" on the new D10 connector. The aftermarket harness has pin 8 jumped to pin 9, and pin 9 is labeled "POWER ANTENNA". Since the eggmobile has a fixed antenna, and doesn't adjust the length of it when you change channels (*ahem-LEXUS*), I'm thinking that these can be removed safely. I will verify if there is in fact a wire connected to it tomorrow-ish.
plug for D11

Pin 4 (the dot) is only present on the new D11 connector and is labeled "DIMMER GROUND". This will need to be connected to the OEM harness to control backlighting, yes? There isn't a wire on the male pin connector to match, but I may just cannibalize the "power antenna" wires.

The Yaris actually has a powered antenna (amplified). Pin 8 is the feed from the radio to the antenna amplifier. Pin 9 is not used on the OEM radio.
Pin 4 on D11 is not used on the Yaris.
