    After submitting my vehicle purchase satisfaction survey to Toyota where I complained about entune being the worst thing ever, they contacted me and let me know it wasn't going to ever be upgraded to CarPlay.

    With that in mind I was looking at how to replace the car stereo and was wondering if anyone else has in a 2017-2018 prius prime with 7" screen.

    From what I can tell using these parts from Maestro:
    (main unit)
    https://amzn.to/2Wywtjs
    (harness for prime)
    https://amzn.to/2MNO4iJ
    (USB harness)
    https://amzn.to/2ta8xWl


    Will make the steering wheel and other built in car functions remain working with the stereo.

    The stereo I had in mind is:

    And for the din kit:
    Metra Online


    Is there anything I am missing? Has anyone done this?

    Doubt that you can install an after market radio in the prius prime. Check crutchfield.

    SM-G960U ?

    What is that part number for?

    Also I don't consider crutch field as my number one source of info. They don't sell the din kit for a prius prime or the maestro main unit.

    Here it is 2024 and I am having the same dilemma and found your thread @dcantat. What was the verdict. I just had a long conversation with Best Buy today and seems that this Maestro ready Kenwood double din unit might do the trick - with all the necessary wire harnesses of course.

    Kenwood - 6.8" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Digital Media (DM) Receiver and Maestro Ready - Black
    Model:DMX7709S
    SKU:6516336

    My main curiosity if the radio will loose things like notifications from the car that might normally pop up on the OEM radio.

    Thanks for any feedback you have.
