    Hi guys,

    I've got a 2010 Toyota Prius Gen 3 imported from Japan (Living in New Zealand).
    My car only has a CD-Player, not USB port or either Bluetooth.

    Is there a way I can install the USB port? Maybe taking the radio off and plug some cable on the back?
    Has anyone ever done this before?

    Or maybe can I manually install a Radio/CD Player W/ Display Screen for my Toyota Prius?

    Cheers
    Lucas

    Here, it's a dealer-installed accessory. Dealers typically hold onto accessories for up to 2 years after the model is discontinued (so you only have 1 year left to order from a US dealer if you want an OEM unit).

    That being said, I don't know if it's compatible with a Japanese headunit. In theory it should but Japan tends to have its own set of factory-installed headunits which may have different connectors.

    I didn't install it on mine because I have BTA and also I wasn't about to pay $200 for a USB/iPod outlet that should've been part of the car from day 1 (come on, a high tech car in 2009 that doesn't have USB? for shame)
