    Hello,

    I am new to this and would love to hear from anyone with any knowledge of which is the best way to go to integrate my IPOD Touch with my 2005 Prius. I have seen the DICE kit and the Neo one, yet I am not sure which is the best route to take? I have a CD unit and Navagation if that helps.

    good luck. just spent 6 hours today installing the neo sl2vi on my 04 prius. i have the ipod touch and it was a pain.

    issues:

    1. you have to ground the emergency brake to get the video to play when the car is moving.
    2. when you ground the e brake wire (behind the nav screen) the ebarke light stays on - so i put a switch in the line to keep it off when not watching movies - and to get through motor vehicle inspection.
    3. there is a speed sensor - if you move above 3mph the video automatically turns off. now i have to research where the speed wire is and take the dash apart all over again.

    cheapest place i fond the neo was
