Nice neat job, did you do all the work yourself? Did you start from scratch, or did you remove the MP3 4 speaker system that comes with the car? How much labor was involved? What did it cost for all the components?

Audio system power output by aladdinsane

Does anyone have an idea just how many watts the optional music system available with the Yaris Liftback delivers?
 
I'm not sure if I should opt for it, or go with an aftermarket system. I want at least 300 watts, not counting the subwoofer. No, I'm not looking to impress anyone as I boom along the hood, so to speak. But I do want to satisfy myself with strong audio, and not just a lame Toyota system.
 
I'd appreciate any 4-1-1 on this.
 
Many thanx-
 
Peace!

No exact specs, but my best guess would be 30WPC MAX. They may claim it more, but I have a pretty keen ear.
 
For those not thumping it's actually decent for a small car (and it plays MP3's), but it certainly ain't 300 watts.

Ok, call me silly but is there anyway someone can link me to the cord I need to plug my iPod into my Yaris?? I'm not exactly sure what I need. Thanks!

I had the same dilemma, you need a double ended headphone cord. I bought mine at Target for 4.99 . I imagine there are gold plated ones there that would offer better sound. Each end has a headphone jack.

Yaris CD/MP3 player won't read multisession CD by abcabc1

A few weeks after I purchased my Yaris I found that the CD player won't play multisession MP3 CD's. Multisession means that you burn a few songs on a CD, and then burn more songs at another time. The Yaris CD player will recognize the first set of songs burned on the CD, but will ignore any songs burned later.
  
This is way behind the times technologically. Is there another CD player made today that won't play multisession CD's?
 
To make matters worse, the Yaris manual implies the CD/MP3 will play multisession. On page 145 you will find the following: “It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded disks.” I argued with the dealer for awhile and finally wrote to Toyota Customer Experience. The answer I finally got was that the problem is a "design flaw", not a defect, so it isn't covered under warranty.
 
If curious to know if the Scion stereos have the same "design flaw". They appear to be the same size and are probably made by the same manufacturer.

If we were talking about a "design flaw" in say the power steering, wouldn't it considered to be cause for a recall. If the owners manual says it should do something and it doesn't, then it should be replaced at Toyota's expense. By the way, this is the first problem that I have ever heard anyone having with a Yaris outside of people upset that they are not getting as good gas mileage as everyone else.

Audio system power by aladdinsane

Does anyone know just how many watts of power the optional music system available with the Yaris Liftback delivers?
 
I'm not sure whether to opt for it, or just go with an aftermarket system with powered subwoofer. No, I'm not looking to impress anyone or boom out the hood as I drive. I just want to satisfy myself with power (say about 300 watts, not including the sub) and not have to deal with a lame Toyota unit.
 
Please inform. I'd sure appreciate it!
 
Peace!

300 watts? Plus subwoofer? No trying to boom out the hood? REALLY?

Really!
 
I only seek a reply to my original question, not a rude editorial from an oaf. . .
 
The Ford Focus, for example, has an Sony audio system option
rated at 500 watts, with subwoofer. There are many vehicles from different brands offering even MORE power in either a standard or optional system. My wanting a powerful system doesn't mean that I'll zoom and boom through the hood. Ask any audiophile and he/she will tell you that the more power a system has, the more it will reproduce at low levels of volume. The obvious sarcasm in your statement proves your ignorance in this aspect.
 
If I decide upon going with aftermarket I will do so, and if I feel like booming out the hood then I will, eventhough that is NOT my style. It seems you have no concept of what pimping out a ride is all about, and you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. But it doesn't matter.
 
I do hope that someone truly in the know will reply to my simple original question.
 
Case closed with you-
 
Peace!
