@ N9QGS - I absolutely know that the shop is 100% wrong. How? I converted from an integrated radio in my 2007 Yaris S to a single DIN using a kit and a new Toyota piece that you'll see on the YW link that S7V7N put up. The cost was around $100 I'd say for the kit and the new trim piece from Toyota. I also have pics on how I got from that to this:



Notice the the source unit area, not the kick. It's the same kit Derick is using, except I took it two steps more. I bonded the kit pocket closed with "melted" plastic (no heat was used), and then I had it painted to match the OEM car color.

I know back a few years ago cd players used to have a screw on top of the unit when they were brand new that you had to remove in order for the unit to work, usually had a big sticker that said to remove it, may want to check for that. And no problem, there's a few of us here who are more than happy to help.

OMG, lol! You were so right!
Funny thing, I saw this on the unit before I hooked it up, and I literally thought it meant "remove these screws if you do any repairs", because of the word "fixing"...
Everything works now!

Quick question I have about all these head unit radio systems..
Do any of them support the new digital radio format.

I was surprised to learn that my 2010 Yaris factory stereo is still only analog when all of our stations had made the switch to digital over 2 years ago now.

So if I was to replace my factory stereo unit with one of these fancy head units with the gps and dvd etc.. do they have digital?

Yes , it's a very good headunit , the installation was very easy with no cutting wires , and everything fitting in about 25 minutes !!!

And the price is very good for this much operations.I believe that the value for monay is 10/10 !!!
