Hi, this subject prompted me to create an account. I don't own a Toyota Yaris, but a good friend of mine just bought one. I can break down the audio capabilities for the stereo in the car. Because the setup baffled me at first, I stewed about the capabilities of the audio system. Basically, there is an external 1/8 inch input jack which can be used for mp3 players, walkmans (if anyone still listens to cassette tapes) a voice recorder (like in the movies, usually involving shrinks) and whatever else you wish to hear through your stereo (drum machines, video games such as PSP's, gameboys, ect.) Once plugged in, the stereo automatically switches to the "AUX", or auxiliary function. There is no function on the radio to control your MP3 player! Selecting you songs has to be done manually through your MP3 player, which was mentioned in the previous post. However, the single disk CD player can play MP3 and WAV files. Listen up, this is where it gets good. If you have 150 songs on your computer, and want to burn them onto a a CD, the Yaris will be able to play all those songs on one CD, as long as you burn them in data format. So that means: instead of burning an "audio CD" that may play up to 20 songs at best, select "DATA CD" once you open your CD burning program, and start adding songs to the list to burn. You can even get more elaborate by putting the bands/groups into individual folders based on each artist. The stereo has a "Folder" button, which allows you to scroll through different artists on your CD, as long as you're burning the folder with the songs in it, and not the individual songs. If you have 10 songs per folder, usually you can fit about 15 different artists on your data CD, give or take the length of your songs (MP3's take up less space than WAVs.) The folder option allows you to scroll through different artists, while displaying text across your stereo, which enables you to identify the artist, and the song which is currently being played. Hope this helps. As far as airbags go, this post wasn't about airbags, plus I don't own a Yaris, so you're out of luck there. Only the important issues, haha. Take care.
