Trim/Dash Kit (for single DIN headunit) for Yaris yet? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

MacMaster761 · 08-18-2006, 07:41 PM

what did you use to trim it? what did you trim? is it in the back of the front trim piece? Top or bottom or both? does that make sense? how does the whole kit stay in place if it fits in? wouldnt it go through the entire way?

I use the metra kit for Echo/Celica, sorry, i can't remember the part#...

I've cutted the back so the radio push directly on the back of the trim kit.

No it will not go through, it will stay in place, the dash and the radio will hold the trim kit in place.

you should slide your head unit through the trim kit, and back into the slide off harness that is around the outside of your headunit, does that make sence?

install the slide off part of the deck, install the trim kit, and slid the deck through both of the parts that are already mounted to the dash

I can slide my HU through the trim kit, it too small...

Anyone use that Metra kit Violin was talking about yet? 34 bones is a bit steep for a trim kit, but if its clean it might be worth it.

bigsky2 · 08-24-2006, 06:31 AM

Metra Kit now available.

Part # 99-8216
Single DIN application
Fits both 3DR Hatch and 4DR Sedan (I'm assuming it also fits the 5DR Hatch for the non-US Yaris owners)

Instructions attached as PDF.

Enjoy guys

hey, that's actually pretty handy! detailed and illustrated instructions on how to take the dash apart. nice.

SimmZ · 08-24-2006, 12:22 PM

METRA are REAL great product. Great after-sale service and always complete and great installation instruction.

Violin · 08-24-2006, 12:27 PM

I see that kit comes with a bracket for the sedan and the liftback. That may explain the price.

I hope to have mine by this weekend and will post pics of the install.

MacMaster761 · 08-24-2006, 04:12 PM

already have the echo kit and looks quite nice after the small modification i had to do. I'll post a pic later, glad it finally came out for you guys though

This is great however it is still a bummer if you own the Sport because you still have to buy the regular center dash housing so that you can replace the "integrated" H/U.

do you think they'll ever make a kit for the people with the green screen radio? i'd rather not have to buy the cheaper radio, just to be able to buy an aftermarket one in order for it to fit

johnnyfive · 08-25-2006, 01:17 AM

you dont need to buy the entire radio, just the trim piece that goes around it

see here

i paid 67$ for mine from local dealership

the rest of the mounting hardware for your aftermarket radio is attached to your integrated unit

bigsky2 · 08-25-2006, 01:41 AM

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that there is a kit made from American International www.americaninternational.net

The Part No. is TOY-K969
Applicable for ISO/DIN (single) radios on the following vehicles:
2006-07 Yaris Hatch / Sedan (of course!)
2007 FJ Cruiser
2004-2006 XA/XB/TC

It is a universal pocket that comes with vehicle specific brackets for each particular application.

I got mine for USD $16 shipped off eBay from a seller named autoware302.

Wish me luck, my install is going in tomorrow.

johnnyfive · 08-26-2006, 08:47 PM

if 55405-52640 looks like a part number, that is the part number for it :)

Heads up on that installer.com website that I linked to for the Metra kit.

Even though I was told that it would ship Wednesday when I ordered it a week ago Friday, they still haven't recieved it from Metra. I was willing to pay a premium to get it early. If they don't get it in by Tuesday, I'll cancel and go with Crutchfield or someone else.
