    For your data connection while on the move, do you have to use the 3G link or can/do you connect through your smartphone? I'm assuming that you didn't have an OEM backup camera on your car, correct? What's the mfr and part number for the unit you're highlighting here? Finally, did your steering wheel controls continue to work for this new HU? I definitely like the OEM-look that this unit has. Thanks for the vid.

    Good Video. For quick boot , did you connect the yellow wire for constant power? I tried to install similar unit in my car and it seems to reboot each time !
    Also at night, it is super bright and unit is not on "Dim" for night mode. Do i need to connect the Illum: wire ? Can you share your experience on these two points and how you solved them?

      @SweetLou0523 Před 4 lety

      Not on this gen Prius with the non gps head unit. On my 2011 Prius II I have the dumb head unit just like this guy started with. You control nothing other than media through it. Also, the 2011 Prius does not have automatic DRLs in the USA. (I have the dash sensor and all wiring but apparently the USDM spec never had it enabled. The JDM spec does) DRL function such as it is is just a decent on the headlight switch. There also is no setting for headlight off timer. I believe it’s 30s by default. As far as smart key, idk what you mean by that. The key fob only has lock, unlock, and panic. It’s not a smart key fob.
