Have you removed the stereo/Display/dash from your v?

    I've owned a v for about 3 days now, and it's great! 40-46MPG, and I love all the space inside. Already getting into a few mods - mostly minor and simple. But the following seems a little more involved:
    I ordered the Navigation Speed Lock Override system from the Priuschat shop, because I'd really like my wife to be able to control the GPS while I'm driving. But apparently nobody has installed this on the v yet, at least with the pre-made kit from the shop. I guess I'm the guinea pig! I'll definitely take pictures and share the installation when I get to it (assuming it works...)
    I don't mind experimenting a little, but I'd appreciate any hints/suggestions from anyone who has already completed any part of this process.
    Based on some videos I've seen of stereo removal on older Prii, it looks like the whole dash needs to be dissembled... Is that still the case with the v? Any suggestions, tricks, or "gotchas"?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Coming up!
    I did the install today, and it went well. I'll write up a full post (with pictures!) soon.
    VERY briefly - the dash removal seems somewhat simpler than that described in the speed lock override instructions for the standard Prius. You just need to remove the upper glove box, the power button bezel, and the top/center air vent manifold. Then you have access to the head unit. More details to follow... :)

    I am also looking forward in your manual and pictures.

    I want to use the video input on my Dutch "Toyota Touch" radio.
