I haven't gone in to actually look at one in the store, but I believe it plugs directly into the FM antenna jack on the back of the radio.

Hey CTScott, I have this stock HU in my car:

Do you know if it's capable of working with the auxiliary jack?

I bought the jack part a few months ago, plugged it in to the wiring, and didn't get quick plug and play results with my iPod classic. I put it on the backburner since I have a wireless FM transmitter. Never did revisit it and get it working...

Since the topic has come up again, I thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance.

CTScott: the top picture is the unit that came with the Echo hatchbacks when we had them in Canada. I had that unit, it is made by Fujitsuten. It should not br AUX port compatible.

Apparently, the 7 pin plug is for the CD changer.. or cassette tape.

IllusionX · 08-26-2009, 10:40 PM

Hmm, is this the one with mp3, the unit is black with silver knobs right?

Mine's all silver, can play MP3 CD's, and has the awful green backlighting. I don't think I have a picture of the front of it.

For some reason I can't find any info on the 08600-xxxxx radios, other than they seem to be mid 90's vintage radios. I wonder if the cars with these were "radioless" from the factory, and then either the port or the dealer threw in old radios that were collecting dust?

IllusionX · 08-28-2009, 11:35 AM

you probably have a 6 cd changer?
None of the silver faced mp3 capable are aux compatible. Shoot.. mine is not aux capable either.

CTScott: I believe all of the Yaris radios in Canada are dealer installed.

this is mine
#8600-01000

Dave · 08-30-2009, 09:32 PM

Nope, I definitely don't have the 6 CD changer one.

It looks basically like the one you posted, but all silver. As seen in the somewhat blurry cellphone pic:

IllusionX · 08-30-2009, 10:32 PM

weird.. this unit looks butt ugly on a sedan :P It's easier on the eye with the black HU. but this confirms my thoughts... The radio is dealer installed. That's why we all have all those different kind of radios.

anyways. back to topic... definitely not AUX capable with yours. If it was somehow aux capable, you would have an AUX button on the unit.

Dave · 09-01-2009, 12:11 AM

Heyyy.. I kinda like the silver :) Fits in nice with the rest of the trim.

I know it doesn't have the AUX button on the front, but I was hoping the stereo might still have the parts inside to use the function if it was activated somehow. I was thinking of something similar to how the stereo recognizes the 6 CD changer and functions by pressing DISC multiple times.

Michael K · 11-02-2009, 10:34 PM

Dave: Were you able to get your stereo working with an auxiliary input?

I have the same stereo unit as you. Can anyone else confirm for certain whether or not this stereo will work with an auxilliary input?

Thanks in advance.

CTScott · 11-02-2009, 11:00 PM

It doesn't look promising for that model.

I have an 08 USDM black HU and the AUX jack/cable for sale in this thread:

I've got the same unit as spryguy. Has anybody successfully attached an aux jack? That would be sweet!!

why? · 11-23-2010, 01:33 AM

do we know who actually makes the toyota stock decks?

personally you should buy something else, get something aftermarket, the sound quality is just better.

CTScott · 06-13-2011, 08:46 PM

The extra connector is the aux connector, which would plug into the 4th connector on the back of an aux equipped one:

ExocetCom · 08-13-2011, 06:17 PM

Has anyone used the GTA Car Kits module? $100 seems pretty reasonable for near-full control through the stock HU, and is about half the price of the cheapest aftermarket HU with ipod/USB interface after factoring in install, wiring harness, and DIN kit.

By the looks of the GTA Car Kit video, the 08600-00999 HU, which is the one in my 07 Canadian Yaris and appears to be the same as other posters, this HU will accept the auxiliary input which is accessible as a "Disc". I'm guessing the modules that are part of the kits are used to a) allow control through the existing HU and, b) convert the output signal from the mp3 player to the correct voltage/resistance range the HU requires.

I have a 08 yaris hatchback, same radio as spryguy007
was anyone able to find some sort of aux/usb installation for this radio?
