Stock 2008 radio - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sodium Duck · 12-01-2008, 03:50 PM

So, I pulled my stock radio out, and I'm looking at the back here.

Why does there appear to be 2 spots for an antenna? Like there's a mini motorola and a regular sized motorola.

Odd.

Maybe one is for the LB and the other one is for the Sedan since they have different type attennas.

i think its for differant radio options maybe? its been two years since i had mine out but im wondering if i saw that as well(mine was radio delete)...been a while...anyway...im guessing that perhaps one of the radio options offered for our cars uses the oddball size one.

This is a bit

, but I was wondering if you could help me out with something...

Could you give me the measurements for the bezel since you have yours opened up? I need them to see if I'm going to need a custom bezel for the touchscreen that I'm adding soon.

Thanks in advance, bearded one!

What do you mean? The dimensions of the opening? It's almost 8"X4", 7 7/8" X 3 7/8" if you want to be extremely exact.

they probaby use the same radio in other cars. some toyotas have 2 antennas like 1 in the glass and 1 on fender or roof. some option they never put in yaris i am sure

Yup that's it. Thanks a bunch!
I need to see if the following screen fits in there without having to mod the OEM bezel:
