Man, North America keeps getting shafted when it comes to cool Japanese things. For example: the skyline gt-r (before the r35), kei cars, and digital everything for the interiors of cars. Gah!

Japan is very small (so is most of Europe), the small size cars help in finding parking spot and are very good at zoom zoom around town. |

I received the pricing info for the parts from Danish Yaris, who works for Toyota in Denmark.
The total price is over $2600. This is definitely cost prohibitive, especially since there is no evidence that anyone has attempted the conversion before... |

Holy crap. Holy crap. Hmm. Maybe I'd source these parts one at a time so the sticker shock isn't as bad. Holy crap.

pink wheels are cool

you dont have to get somebody to send you the parts
go to toyota and give them the part number and they will ship it in i just call up my buddy at toyota and he orders them for me all the time some dealers tell you "they cant" but as long as they have a part number it can be ordered |

Australia does not get climate control, however we get the Digital Speedometer across all our grades, as Jinxor has pointed out.

How can it possibly cost that much? Do people realize that that is 1/5th the price of the whole freakin car? For a few digital buttons?!! Come on now!

Individual car parts are significantly marked up (>3x actual cost). I just bought a set of 09 fog light trim pieces (the plastic pieces that surround the fog lights) for $28 each from my local dealership. Those probably cost under $2 each to manufacture...

feint, would you be able to tell us, how much the whole assembly would cost if we were to get it from Japan...
And is it standard in the japanese vitz? dont they have wrecker yards... would love to go to one of those and just pull one out for cheap |

Take a look at the parts list on the first page. There are 8 parts need, besides the controls, and they are located under the dash and under the hood. I agree that junkyard parts would be the best way to test if this will work, but it might take a bit to get all of the needed parts.

I'm also interested if the price is right... $2600 doesn't count.
