    can any expert recommend some good branches. i am looking at many models. however, there are too many conflicting reviews.
    btw, there is a local place i will bring my car to do the work.
    they also sell some. If any one please help me out what to purchase, i will be very much appreciated.

    It is almost never cheaper to buy these things after the fact then just getting the model with them to begin with... Do you even have the high res display for nav?

    I see only two choices.

    1. Buy a Prius that is factory equipped with Nav, JBL sound system, and backup camera.

    2. Buy a Prius without those options and install after market equipment. Check here for help and advice: Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics - PriusChat Forums

    I have the factory stuff and that's easier. But I think the after market equipment might be better if you select top of the line equipment and get a good installation.

    Well, thanks for the input.
    however i already bought the Prius 3 with not such option.
    anyway, this weekend we'll get nagivation/dvd/backup camera installed using Kenwood DNX6960 and CMOS camera for 1050 dollars.

    good day!:cheer2:

    So how did the install go? Did the installer have any problems hooking up the Kenwood 6960 to your Prius three with the JBL amp?

    Could you post some pics? I realize the thread is somewhat old, but I am looking to do this with my new prius as well.

    Thanks
