    Hi all,

    I am new to the forum, but have searched through it as much as I've could - still haven't found anything so here's a few questions.

    I own a European 2005 Prius with the 6-CD+Tape JBL-thingy.

    Does someone have specs for the cables that goes to the stereo? I am going to plug in a "Double DIN" DVD and I've found a bracket that I believe I can use.

    However - I understand that there are some additional wiring I have to do to keep the air-con, but also - what about the wiring to the steering wheel?

    The DVD I have is for a RAV4 (Chinese after-market), but from what I understand it would fit "perfectly" with just a few modifications.

    So - anyone have specs for ALL cables that I will find behind the radio? And also - how DEEP can a DVD/Radio be? The one I have is approx 160mm, and then add to that the cables/etc. Will that fit?

    I don't want to pry apart the Prius and look myself, since it seems to be a pretty time-consuming job, so I'm saving that for the installation itself. :)

    Thanks all for reading/answering.

    Yes, thanks! I've been looking a bit on that site, but not yet payed to login. I'll do that though.

    However, I searched a bit more in the forum and "someone" had placed a RAV4 DVD-unit in the Prius and got it to work (also getting the steering wheel connectors to work), so maybe I'll just try and see what happens. :)

    Anyone that have mounted aftermarket stuff in the 2005 Prius and can let me know what to expect?
