I got this radio for about $250.00 and the costume dash cost about $33.00. Had issues figuring out that the stock dash is not too friendly with aftermarket radios.

I just got my HU the other day - An Alpine IDA-X305S.
Its the beginning. Next step, amps :)

I laboured over which way to go for this. In the end, I figured an ipod only solution (no CD input) was the best option for me.

From what Im reading CDs are being phased out soon anyway, and I cannot remember the last time I actually put one into my old HU!

Also, with lossless audio rips now going onto my ipod, I dont have to worry about "Crappy compressed ipod sound' anymore and the whole setup has given a new lease of life to my previously-retired 140GB iPod classic.

Now to go back through my recordings and albums and start attaching all the artwork to them :)

What mounting kit did you use? Scosche/Metra?

I couldnt really tell you. I know an installer who did the work for me.
He was going to feed th ipod cable through the glove box, which apparently is what most people do, But i figured itd be better for me in the allotted space underneath the HU, so I can easily remove it when I leave the car.

Sound Upgrade part1

Hi all!

Here are some pictures of my current install. My ride is a 2008 YRS 5dr LB in Melbourne, Australia.

The Head-unit is the 2012 Alpine CDE-133 (e)BT. It is mounted on a Metra Single-DIN bracket. I have also swapped those 60's-"here-is-the-future-of-technology"-green-colour bulbs on the AC/FAN controls to some cool BLUE LED's (to match the head unit!). Behind the head unit is the Metra ASWC - which ensures I can continue to use the steering wheel controls - all of this is thanks to the YarisWorld world! Couldn't have done it without this valuable resource.

Next up - Alpine KTP-445 with Alpine SPR60c's or Kicker KS60.2's in the front... soon I'll get around to doing a sound-deadening job.

Nope, it's black in the RS, but the OEM "premium" deck was silver, go figure.

Thanks!

Pioneer mechless MVH-355BT in my New Zealand 2005 Toyota Vitz RS (NCP91) powering 2 X Infinity door speakers. Next to come: 2 X INFINITY 9633I Reference 6X9's in the rear (boxed).



Head unit plays well. It has a sandisk mini usb sticks plugged in. (Thats the orange light)

Only disadvantage of this headunit is that I cannot change the colour. I would have preferred orange/red to match the rest of the dash.
