steering wheel controls work?

thanks for the info.
For the record, there can be no install easier than the Chinese things - they plug directly into the Toyota wire harnesses - with no mods (at least for base model). Steering controls and everything work (you just need to program them). To anyone that has pulled a Prius G3 stereo, they could take 10 minutes to install...

I'm now running a Pioneer Z110BT - ironically, BT is for Bluetooth - which works great for songs, but is very poor for calls......

You have gen2 Prius right? If you have not see my thread, it should help you out with the components you'll need and the wiring.
no, I dumped it and bought a used 3G PII and I'll replace the radio ASAP.

I still can't really relate much about the thing - it's too new, and the hours I've logged were driving, so I still have at best limited knowledge of ANYTHING. I was able to program AM and a few FM stations today . Funny thing - I have no idea what the model number/part number/identifying (???) is - and the support to date is nothing short of nothing...
Wait a minute, so if I get the kenwood which takes about 30 seconds to boot, I wont have a back up cam available until the cycle completes? Oh Boy.

That was my experience with a Kenwood. The backup camera doesn't come on until after the system has booted, which for some reason takes a long time on the Kenwood units.

My latest Chinese unit boots in about 9 seconds, but the backup camera works immediately, the unit doesn't need to boot for the screen to display the camera image. The only odd thing is that sound is muted when the backup camera is on, for some reason.
