Thanks for accepting me !
My wife's Toyota Yaris Icon was rear ended last week and a certain write-off.
She has put a deposit on a 2023 delivery miles (5 mile) Jazz Hybrid Mk4 SE (basic model).
The dealer has snazzed it up with black alloys and tinted rear windows etc and it's a nice pearl white colour so it's bit nicer than the standard SE.
What she is going to miss though is the Yaris's rear camera and SatNav, only available on the Jazz models higher trims and the new Elegance model. Even though I am an electronics engineer, I doubt if the Mk4 'infotainment' system (if I could get one for RH drive) could be easily integrated into the SE model as it's probably 'coded' into the car.
I have a truly excellent 8" screen Garmin Drivesmart 86 SatNav with integrated Alexa in my own Mitsubishi, combined with a Garmin BC 40 Wireless (blue-tooth) rear backup camera. It's an excellent setup with lifetime maps etc and far better than the Yaris's inbuilt Satnav and rear camera.
My thoughts are a that I could 3-D print a bespoke housing to house the same Garmin units to fit over the Jazz SE central radio unit. She could still use the steering wheel controls to control radio channel and volume and anyway she would probably be using the Garmis Alexa feature with Amazon music etc for audio plus the Garmin also has full mobile phone call integration.
Or is this all just a pipe-dream?
