Toyota Yaris upgrades, generation by generation.

The 2011–2020 XP130, including plenty of Japanese-import Vitz cars, nearly always for an Android screen with wireless CarPlay because the Touch 2 unit or the Japanese radio cannot do it. The 2005–2011 XP90 comes in for the same screen and a camera. XP210 owners want dash cams and a wireless adapter for the factory CarPlay.

The Japanese unit comes out and a car-specific Android screen goes in its place with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB for Irish radio and a camera input, so you lose nothing and gain the apps. The fascia and harness match the Vitz dash, nothing is cut, and the steering-wheel buttons keep working. The dashboard language is a separate job we can talk through on the day.

Yes, as long as it is wired properly. We take power from the 12 V side of the car at the driver's side fuse box, never from the hybrid system, and fit a low-voltage cut-off so parking mode cannot flatten the small 12 V battery. The cable runs behind the A-pillar trim and the headliner, and a rear camera goes along the tailgate loom.

XP90 — 2005–2011: Factory CD radio without a screen on nearly all cars; a Toyota navigation unit on a few high-spec cars. XP130 — 2011–2020: Toyota Touch 6.1-inch on 2011–2014 cars, Touch 2 or Touch 2 with Go from the 2014 facelift; no CarPlay on most cars, and Japanese-import Vitz cars carry a Japanese unit. XP210 — 2020 on: Toyota Touch 2 8-inch with wired CarPlay and Android Auto on 2020–2023 cars; Toyota Smart Connect 9 or 10.5-inch with wireless CarPlay on most later cars. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

CarPlay: Android screen with wireless CarPlay on the XP90 and XP130, factory CarPlay on the XP210. Reversing camera: Tailgate-handle camera on the Android screen, the Touch 2 input or the factory unit. Car radio: Nine-inch Android screen with DAB and a camera input for 2006–2010 and 2012–2016 cars. Parking sensors: Four sensors in the rear bumper with a buzzer that beeps faster; sound only. Dash cam: Hardwired from the driver's side fuse box with a cut-off; 12 V side only on the Hybrid. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Parking sensors: two to three hours. Most Yaris owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

XP90: the Factory CD radio without a screen on nearly all cars; a Toyota navigation unit on a few high-spec cars stays and we add to it. XP130: the Toyota Touch 6.1-inch on 2011–2014 cars, Touch 2 or Touch 2 with Go from the 2014 facelift; no CarPlay on most cars, and Japanese-import Vitz cars carry a Japanese unit stays and we add to it. XP210: the Toyota Touch 2 8-inch with wired CarPlay and Android Auto on 2020–2023 cars; Toyota Smart Connect 9 or 10.5-inch with wireless CarPlay on most later cars stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
