Toyota Yaris CD Player

[veeeffarr]

Bear in mind I know jack shit about cars..

Girlf has just got an '02 Yaris 1.0 GS, has a slot open for what looks like a CDPlayer (Yeah ok... Lol..)

Just wondering what a decentish unit to put in there would be? Are they universal?

She wants a CD Player.

Cheers,

T

I might have a fairly good stereo that might fit... it's currently in a Toyota Carina E so chances are it might fit... Will find out for you as my next door neighbour (not the grumpy old fart) has a Yaris

This stereo has loads of speakers etc, will post again with full spec!
(only thing is there may not be any boot space after all the bits n bobs have gone in)
xXx Loz xXx

From what I remember, its not quite as easy as it could be to change the stereo in a Yaris. The stereo (as best I know) is in two halves with the cassette body right the way down by the shifter and the dispplay built into the MFD up towards the top of the dash.

I was involved in sourcing the parts for this a while back, and I think it ran thus:

1)you will need a blank frame from toyota for the bottom half of the dashboard where the cassette (I presume) is.

2) Then you need to get a Harness adaptor for the cars wiring (unless you want to cut and shut it which I DONT advise)

3)Also a blanking pocket for a late model Rav4 (i think again!)


1) from toyota and points 2 & 3 can be sourced from anywhere stocking autoleads


Once you got all that it should slot together quite nicely!

As for a "good stereo", I like Alpine for solid sound quality and reliability. JVC tended to develop faults and start skipping and Sony, well, they just have lots of flashy bits and lesser SQ


hope that helps

Fuck...

Well there's a cassette player... And below that, about 50cm from the floor/gear lever there is a letterbox shaped hole that I would've thought would be for a head unit :S

[Rookie]

No, as far as I can see that is the 'trinket hole'. What a bloody waste of space! The thing is, without getting the right one and putting it in the right place, things will get very complicated. Chances are it will require new wiring to power it, and probably rewiring the speakers.

The Yaris is not the choice of Chavs; now we see why!

Yeah I learnt in one, they're so much fun to drive too. Screw all this '0-60 in 7 seconds' crap, that thing is absolutely perfect for blitzing round a town. My car is a 1.2, and the Yaris feels much faster acceleration-wise.

Define 'movement'. If you want to rocket off, then yes, you're going to have to change into 2nd very quickly. But most people don't drive like this. When on my lessons I found the Yaris was fine for quick acceleration anyway, and you can get 20 miles an hour before you need to change to 2nd. And it will get to 30 before hitting the rev limiter.

[numark1]

Movement as in be able to drive at a comfortable speed without racing the engine. Changing into second gear in her 1.1 at about 2-5/3k revs stalls the engine.

Anyway i never said i want to go uber fast and 0-60 in 7 seconds (anyway 7 is slow )

1 litre cars do 0-60 in about 15 seconds, so i bet you were blitzing around like a loon.

15 seconds is dog slow, i could walk to 60 quicker than that.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Yaris isn't your bog standard 1 litre, the vvti gives it 77bhp. What bhp does your saxo put out to make it that much faster?

According to this, the 1.4 saxo has only 75bhp!

[EuropeanNC30R...]

I've never heard my dad complain about servicing costs, so I'd assume it isn't a problem.

With regard to that slot, it looks like it'd take a CD player/radio, but I think you have to get the official Toyota one that replaces the one already in there. Could be completely wrong here, but my Dad was looking into it a while ago.

[numark1]

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Hmmn does seem to be around 67-68. However I'm seeing wildly different 0-60 times for it all over the net.

13.6 seconds....

14.1 seconds

The Yaris is quite a tall car for its class, good for around town but probably negatively affects it aerodynamically on the open road.

[numark1]

Also my friend had a 1ltr diesel yaris when his car was crashed into.

That was an actual joke, no turbo or anything. I think 0-60 is about 23 seconds.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

lol that's ridiculous.

Being honest the Yaris ain't a bad car to drive, the vvti means it has quite a revvy engine. The brakes are top-notch too. The only thing I don't like is the body roll, it goes onto 3 wheels easier than you'd like.

Like you know how cars are supposed to have more grip etc on corners than bikes? Well my VFR can take corners completely composed, whereas on the same corners at the same speed the Yaris would be wallowing all over the place.

[numark1]

Reminds me of my heap of shit except in a straight line, anything over 70 and it starts to make alot of noise, after 90 its shaking all over the place and feels quite unsafe.

[jonnay]

My 05 Corsa is only a 1.0, but it's only got 3 cylinders and is pretty good on acceleration. 12v.

Don't really understand cars to be honest though, too many wheels

I'll have a look and see what I can find.. Don't even know what the speakers on the Yaris are like to be honest.

EDIT: The car's in Warrington
