Thanks this really helps a lot. But, I was wondering where you got the silver piece, that fit around the radio. I'm new to cars so I don't know what it's called. Thank you.
@rldel149 I've got a question, I can't tune any AM radio stations, FM works perfect, do you have any ideas where that is? I want to check if it might be unplugged or something...
@porkerpig89 There are two types of radios they put in over here. The one like I pulled is called an integrated radio. It can run iPods, CD changers and sat radio. The trim is built-in to the flipping thing (I believe) to encourage people to keep it and buy more Toyota add-ins. I think they wanted like $100 to 150 bucks just for an iPod cable.
I've gotten about 26,000 miles on it now and am sticking to about 39 mpg running highway speeds and the A/C.
Thanks, we just put a Kenwood KDC-HD545U in the car my son drives. Sounds good and not a bad price, HDR, CD, iPod, front USB & AUX, AAC/MP3/WMA, removable face, through-the-face-CD, remote and will do BT and SAT as options.
Great Vid. Thought id ask here if anyone knows if head units these days have a loom that accepts steering wheel controls? I have a 2008 Yaris, i want to relace the entire audio system but would like to keep steering wheel controls as its all i use, become very fond of them ;)
I have an older Camry w/wheel controls & the Sony unit required a separate module & harness. It is too cramped behind the dash.
This Kenwood likewise shows wheel controls, changer, sat radio and bluetooth as I recall when paired with appropriate Kenwood changer & sat reciever kits.
A thing I do recommend & I alluded to it in the video, bits included directly into the radio/head unit itself, the more room there will be available to fit something like wheel controls & other harnesses.
Awesome! You made it look way easy! Thanks again for the video. ps- What was the music or the artist on the CD when you first started it up and also an the Aux channel?
I'm thinking about showing some of the radio's features. It's hard to get started w/but once you do, it really has some powerful features w/more sound & display options you could ask for.
The hardest part of most installs is finding room for all of the boxes & a place to mount them behind the dash. This was an all in one except for the Sirrius which I may never add. And between an iPod interface & mp3 disk there isn't much need.
Where Can I Find the integrated dash kit?

@adolfohoudini - no idea less it be a bad radio. It only has one antenna, I'm assuming it is plugged in well.

Thanks for the reply. So it seems steering wheel controls are not rare for newer head units.

Not as much anymore and they are getting better but as I understand it, all are not created equal.

Hello,
great vid.
But i have got a 2006 Yaris.
Is there ANY way to get a Din radio in my car?
The volume adjustment and some other buttons are on the left and right side next to the radio.
I hope you understand what i mean...if not, just look at a cockpit picture of a 2006 Yaris....
--> it seems to be impossible )-:

They have to save labor these days. It is sort of surprising you only need a screwdriver to swap a radio.

A good "How to" film. I did not realize how many parts one could just remove from a panel of a auto. Thank you
