    I have a 2007 Prius, Package #2 (standard stereo, no satellite radio). I've read some conflicting info on having an aftermarket stereo installed. These are the things I'd *like* my radio to do:
    1. Keep use of steering wheel controls
    2. Play and charge iPod
    3. Show iPod songs on MFD
    4. I also use the Slacker radio app on my iPhone and I'd *love* the use of steering wheel controls while using that, but I'm not sure that's even possible.

    I'm not sure if going with one of the DICE or VAIS systems is a better option, or just buying a new stereo... Any ideas/suggestions would be very much appreciated!

    Hi - I'm totally new. I have no idea what I'm doing. My boyfriend just bought a 2007 Prius and asked for Christmas he wanted a new radio that provided bluetooth capabilities for his IPhone 3GS and navigation. Any ideas?

    I have Kenwood DNX6960 with Garmin navigation integrated and I am happy with it.

    Go with the DICE Silverline; it does everything you listed.

    I have a question for all who have upgraded stereos. Did your new head unit start acting funny? Mine just got installed and now every so often, the volume I the radio drops and it states my current speed. Any ideas or how to get rid of this?
