    In my readings on disabling Telematics (DCM), that does look similar to the gps antenna connector on the DCM unit. (I'm leaving as is for now.)

    Perhaps @soft_r knows more about the head unit aspect? It would be interesting to know what you're trying to do. :)

    Hey there! thank you for the information! I am trying to add a gps tracker to my new Prius! I dont want to pay the subscription on the one in market, so I reckon I can probably make one. One thing about those is that the GPS signals are some very weak signals, so I thought there's already a gps antenna poking out of my car so why not use those! My plan right now is to use a splitter, but those connectors don't look like Fakra C or Z to me, and also if the car uses the same antenna for Cellular it probably won't work, I am just looking for options here haha
