thanks

I don't know - I haven't been in a tunnel long enough to notice it (in fact, I don't think my Prius has seen a tunnel). I do believe the signals are there (speed) on the existing connector that is plugged into my nav.

Is your HU (Rav4 PIP) a 6.2" screen, or 7" screen?

I think it's 6.5" - but could be 6.2.

You need a slightly smaller screen to allow the side buttons (that make it look more OEM).

It is a good news, Gen III Prius SOL is just comming to my garage. Hopefully it wouldn't be overpriced and also there may be some EU tax/toll advantage as CASKA established the new affilation in Budapest, Hungary on October 09. Keep us posted,pls. I'm curious if the GPS will use newer Win OS then WinCe 5.0.

here is the answer I got :

Dear Sir, Madam,
Thank you for your interest in our product and we will do our best to help you as soon as possible.
At this moment Caska Europe BV is established in the Netherlands as a full partner of Coagent Ltd China.
Unfortunately, being established is not the same as being operational.
The coming months we will setup the European after service, the resellers/agents per country, warehousing, etcetera.
Besides all this, the product needs a little adjustment to fit the European market.
For the European and the Global market, Caska is building her own webshop. In the webshop you can find almost all the answers to your questions. And the most important thing of all: we will serve our customers with global shipment!
As soon as we are ready to serve you, we will send you an invitation to visit our new webshop and/or to visit us in our showroom if you like.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!

Thanks for your patients and we look forward to meet you again.

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the helpful information!
I've been following these threads for many months trying to plan the best move to install an all-in-one nav doubledin in my 2010 Prius II. I've been looking for the easiest install as well as the best deal.

I'd appreciate any comments on my conclusion.


1. According to rrolff, a good/compatable 2DIN is the
2 Din Indash DVD GPS Navi Toyota RAV4 Digital Panel PIP

Which is roughly $500 after shipping.

2. As I understand it, you do not need to buy the mounting kit because this DIN will fit exactly into the existing mounting chassis of the prius.

3. It looks like the trim kit is the hardest part, since there seems to only be one available and costing around $130.

TOYOTA PRIUS RADIO SURROUND 55405-47080

Thus $630 to get all the parts you need for this basic installation.

Does this seem correct?

4. I was looking around for alternate options for a trim and found this:
TOYOTA PRIUS 10 2010 DASH TRIM KIT DASHBOARD STYLING

Do you think this might be a good alternative as it is only $90 and much more stylish/worth buying?
I am contacting the merchant to find out.

If all this works out, it might be a good idea to sticky it as a workable solution.

Thanks again!
