    Hi guys

    I would like to buy a head unit for my 3 gen 2010.
    What is the biggest screen that I could install?
    I have seen some new 9" pioneers and these are so expensive
    I'm happy to buy a used one which fits 3 gen easily and which I can use for wheel control and rear camera also.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I think 9 inch is the biggest to fit the trim you can find on the market.

    Thanks mate. Can you recommend me some good one? I would like to buy the Pioneer one but it's still very expensive.. Maybe an older version? Thanks

    What's you current HU? The factory one? If so you'll need a Prius double din trim. After you get that any standard double din HU will do. I had a Kenwood Ddx9702s which is 7 inch.


    And by the way I might be wrong about the size since the biggest in double din should be 7 inch.

    Yeah, I got the factory one. I would like to put there a used 9" from a decent brand. Pioneer Alpine etc. I can find some on FB market (after Christmas) but these are gone super fast I ordered double din fascia just because was super cheap on boxing day and I can resell it after easily if I'll not use it. I'm pretty sure I can't put 9" in the double din area but maybe there is a head unit which is a bit bigger and not obstruct aircon in 2010 model..

    Looks Ike I waited too long to edit. Units with a 9 inch screen don't have a CD/DVD slot. Not an issue for most

    Joying sells similar units.
    Aliexpress stuff is cheap
    Credit card charge back protects me if the unit is DOA or the equivalent, dies in a month or so.
    After that I assume support may be limited, at best.
