    Very nice. Did you install it yourself? Have any "war stories" about the install you would like to share?

    An installer did the job. But I researched the parts and ordered them through the installer.

    TV Tuner. Is it NTSC or ATSC?

    NTSC is going away soon (as in 2006), so what is the point paying for NTSC feature?

    $ 3,000.00 including installation. My installer gave me 3 years warranty on all the Audiovox parts.

    The TV-Tuner was less than $80.00, I guess it is NTSC

    looks like the installation is plug and play, I did not dare to do it myself.

    This sounds really cool and I'm seriously debating buying this for my upcoming '06 Prius, but I find it pretty expensive. This capability seems like it should be relatively simple...does anyone else think so? Has anyone else seen anything comparable (maybe without all the extra inputs) for less?

    The Avelectronic Switchbox is for $600, but remember no wire cutting is what you might be paying for + all 4 outputs are amplified with a strong signal and it has on top of the 4 A/V inputs 3 camera inputs (Rear, Left and Right).

    The Audiovox Headrest price was $950.00 but includes 3 year warranty

    The installation was $550.00 including tailored Prius cloth for the headrests

    Maybe I'm a little confused. How does one switch between inputs using the Avelectronic.com product? On the factory installed camera it automatically switches when you're in reverse. Is this the case with your installation as well?

    What type of audio inputs does the device have? When watching DVDs is the audio in stereo?
