    Did not have to unplug the 12V battery, cut or tap wires, the DVR camera is USB, all plug and play.

    Dash panels were very easy to remove after watching a couple of YouTube videos. Toyota Prius generation 3 head unit and HDD removal

    This is the exact Unit and Eric Chen was the Sale Consultant. He answered all of my questions before ordering: Hot Pure Android 4.4.4 System Car Radio for Toyota Prius 2009 2013 R/L 2 Din 8" HD Amplifier USB GPS Navi Music DVB T Handsfree-in Car DVD from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    I am curious about the radio reception which is poor in my 2010 Prius 4 (without nav). Does it use the existing antenna? Does it pull in stations well? Also, it looks like no HD radio or Sirius XM. Correct?

    @Sergiospl did you pay for the $100 import tax? US doesn't charge any import tax

    It uses the existing radio antenna, no HD radio or satellite Sirius XM. It comes with IGO Primo GPS/NAV which is just fantastic. I select the Space Shuttle instead of the usual arrow to navigate the map.

    I think It will be an invoice from Customs for import tax based on the value of the content of the package that the seller reported.

    To be absolutely sure he would send me the right "plug and play" plugs, I sent him:
    -Photos of my Model No. for the 2011 Prius Two, no JBL,
    -What the back of the radio looks like,
    -The car plugs,
    -Color of dashboard bezel,
    -Green color lighting buttons.
    The 2012 Prius stock Headunit Model No./plugs/bezel color may be different from the 2011.

    I believe my unit was tested for about 3 days.

    Will let you know. I have an OEM backup camera as well. The only solution is to connect thru the RCA if it doesn't work
