    I've been searching here (and online in general) for nearly 2 hours....can't find anything for the 2016 Prius.

    I'm trying to use the backup camera that is already on my Prius and attach to my Pioneer SPH-DA120 deck. The deck has an RCA input for a camera, but I'm reading small tidbits about the voltage on Toyota's cameras being different than what an aftermarket deck puts out? Anyone taken this task on?

    I have a Pioneer radio AVH-5600 and found that it just wasn't worth the bother th use the OE camera.
    I purchased a camera on ebay for about $15-$20. No big deal. In fact I bought almost the same camera and mounted it in the fron grill and plugged it into the AV input. Bought a bypass device to make the AV work all the time.
    Works great. Already moved it from my '09 to my '15

    I had a nice backup cam in my 2009 Camry, and it was only $40. So I don't mind getting a different camera, but I insist that it goes where the OEM camera sits currently. I do NOT want to leave the old camera and create a new hole.

    Look in the threads for a radio upgrade. I remember someone else did this and he got an adapter to allow use of the OE camera with the new head unit.

    I received an email from auto harness house with this link. I'd love to know if anyone else can confirm this working with their Prius:

    Call and ask what their return policy is if the part doesn't work.
