    Pros:
    • MP3 player
      • supports non-english text in ID3 tags
      • random mode is very random
      • displays album art
    • Has GPS navigation
    • Support OEM USB port
    • Support for OEM steering wheel controls
    • Support for OEM backup camera
    • 8" display

    Cons:
    • FM radio reception is poor
    • Can't play MP3s while using Navigation
    • Navigation nags you about the speed limit (when it's active)
    • NoWifi
    What you'll need:
    • Toyota antenna adapter (for model year 2012 to 2015)
    • Toyota USB adapter
    • custom hack for steering wheel controls & reverse signal hookup.

    Overall I like this unit more than the OEM head unit that it replaced.
    I'm selling this guy because I upgraded to an Android unit.

    I originally purchased it on eBay in July 2014. It took me a while to figure out how to get it all hooked up right.
    I used from September of 2014 to March 2016.

    This is a bargain at $100.

    You pay shipping. Or, local pickup, or mod-party meetup?

    This is not a good deal, it's a killer deal :O
    Wonder if you can update the Navi Map and how good/accurate is the Navi.

    There's a little SSD card behind the "GPS Card USB" hatch on the lower left. I've never messed around with it. I'm not sure how to updated it or what the capabilities are.

    I put the box on the bathroom scale. The weight is just under 8lbs.
    According to USPS shipping calculator ...

    You need an adapter for the factory USB. You also need an adapter to connect the square antenna plug into the round hole. And you need to get creative with the steering wheel controls & the backup sensor. But it's not too tough.

    Can you be specific of what extra is needed for this to be plug and play with steering wheel controls, stock back up camera, stock sub, and radio plug.

    Also, if I do not use the navi, will it still nag me about the speed?

    The Navigation app only nags about the speed limit when it's active.


    If you're model year is 2012 to 2015, you need a Toyota antenna adapter that looks like this.
    upload_2016-3-24_21-55-23.png
    (Search B00ACD9RFO on Amazon for an example.)

    You will need a Toyota USB adapter for the USB port in the center console that looks like this:
    upload_2016-3-24_22-6-37.png
    (Search B00QF01H2E on Amazon for example.)

    For the steering wheel controls, my solution looks like this:
    upload_2016-3-24_22-8-8.png

    This is wired according to this diagram:
    upload_2016-3-24_22-9-15.png
    (Note that SWG=Steering Wheel Ground, SW2=Steering Wheel 2, SW1=Steering Wheel 1)


    The RCA plug from the OEM reverse camera just plugs right in. You will also need to stick the stereo reverse signal wire into slot #2 in the above connector.

    And that's it!

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe only the 12-15 Prii needs the antenna adaptor. The 10-11 Prii doesn't need it


    iPhone ?

    It's not as good as an Android unit. But it's way better than the vanilla OEM stereo.

    You know how capitalism works -- It's only worth as much as what the market will bear.

    This hardware has shipped under a few different brand names. Pumpkin is the first that comes to mind. It looks exactly like same hardware as my newer Android unit.
