Yes, but 98% of eBay seller have no licence of authorized reseller. So you have no warranty on your product. By example, check on Infinity website, they clearly tell they will not cover by any warranty the Infinity products bought on eBay. I buy often some car parts on eBay, but I stay far away of buying expensive electronics on eBay.

Sometime saving money is great, but if the product break 1 month later and you have not warranty... humm.

I had decided not to get my HU changed and got two 12" subs and a 4ch amp running the speakers and a mono block running the subs. I have changed my mind now that I have this all installed. The HU is slow somtimes it wont read MP3 cd's and doesnt have functions that cheaper aftermarker HU have. I am now looking to upgrade mu HU and my speakers

the stock scion pioneer deck is pretty nice actually, the pre-2006 deck is a bitch cause it has no knobs, all the volume and track and stuff selection is all run by buttons (pretty stupid) then again I'm not sure if you can install a 2006 deck into a yaris, I couldnt even install a 2006 scion deck in a 2005 scion. They said the wiring of the car is completely different, don't know if it would work in the yaris. Also the pioneer means nothing.... Its not a real pioneer deck, it was just designed by them, meaning that none of the pioneer accessories (such as the CD-IB100 ii - ipod adapter) fit the scion deck.

wow i'm good

Probably depend on headunit models... 1 CD, 1 CD/MP3 or 6CD/MP3. Maybe a different manufacturer for each model.
