    I am planning to remove the factory radio and install an Appradio 4 in my 2009 Prius, here are the parts I am getting.

    Metra 70-8114

    use solder and shrink tubing on your wiring connections for a permanent trouble free install is the only advice I have. good luck!

    Seconded!
    I installed an alpine ILX-007 and rear camera into our Honda Fit recently. There was too much noise for the camera to work properly until I soldered the connection.

    I had to learn to solder for that project, and I consider it time very, very well spent.
