Although I am not installing this on a Yaris ( a Trailblazer), this was helpful in getting a good idea as to what to expect. I got my FMV kit brand new on eBay for 15 bucks (they are very cheap now). I called around and most places want 120+ to install it. Decided to do it myself.
Just an FYI.. Even if you do not subscribe to the OnStar services, this unit has one heck of a good blutooth function for $50 it cost to purchase. I tried other (Motorola) units but they sucked. This unit has solid Blutooth performance!
Hi, i installed my Onstar FMV a Different way :O it seems to be working properly,,i Connected the Red and Yellow wires with the same wires my stereo is connected..(including the ground wire)
Yes the red light is blinking. If you listen to the audio, I was in set up mode. I was doing this video after hours. Once the unit was set up the following day, the light was green and is still green.
Great job on the instructional video. Question: Since the unit only needs to see constant 12v, switched 12v and ground, couldn’t you have just gone into the fusebox?
