Just so you know, if you get the microphone assembly and the radio from a 2013 or later Yaris it's all plug and play and then the radio will have bluetooth calls and audio.


Is this only applicable to those cars without the Bluetooth head unit? Mine has the Bluetooth head unit but the factory microphone is awful

Man yall are way out there! (I googled it lol)

I removed the off the car, peeled the old double sided tape off the emblems/car, scuffed up the badges with a scratch pad, primed and painted them, then added new double sided tape and cut to shape with a razor blade

Good to know, I wasn't sure how the badge was held on.

What about that long trim piece under it? How is that removed?

its held on by 2 (maybe 3 or 4) nuts from the back. you'll have to remove the plastic trim piece on the back door to get to them. the front emblem doesn't have any tape, it just clips in

Awesome, thanks! Did you rattle can it? What paint would you use?

Also, do you know anything about spray-tinted tail lights? I've been looking for that too.

I used a self etching primer that bonds to plastic, it will say it on the can. I have some spray on tint, but to be honest Ive never had a finished product Ive liked lol. BUT i think that has to do more with my ability to paint/prep

The air vent are two pieces that clip together, that then clip to that gray trim piece. you use a flat head screw driver to pry the tabs up
