Friends: 0 | Re: radio upgrade It'll be a huge undertaking. The speakers are different (eg: 8 vs 6, and all different types). You will need to get the door panels and the associated wiring to install the rear mid range speakers (which the Prius II doesn't have). |

Friends: 1 | Re: radio upgrade Why do you want the JBL headunit? If you want better sound, just change the speakers & add an amp. |

Friends: 0 | Re: radio upgrade Toyota Publications has the parts and labor needed for a JBL install - i'll add that Venom is correct - even if I was given all the parts, I doubt it's worth it - many have mentioned poor sound... There are many now that are swapping head units - I did this - and the sound is remarkably better - even with the stock non-JBL speakers. You also get a nice Nav with most - increasing the value of your little Prius... |
