I would like to replace my infotainment system with an apple carplay/Android Auto. Does anyone have one installed? I have a 2012 V. Thanks
I have not replaced the existing mfd as it includes some hybrid data, xm radio, hd fm etc. What I am considering is a low cost add on screen mounted in the blank area in front of the steering wheel for a simpler install, with wireless Carplay and built in camera recording as a bonus.

Will that get in the way of seeing the road, mounted where you're suggesting (I have no idea of what your dash looks like). Even so, it's not a huge gamble.
Plenty of room on a Prius v without disrupting any forward view. Of course you are unlikely to buy a 13 year old v. The fact of the matter is a much smaller mfd replacement loses functionality and does require looking down and away from the road to operate.
