    Just purchased my first Prius, a 2009 with JBL 9-Speaker System. Immediately bought a "Carplay" radio:



    There is a link to the actual unit in the youtube link: it is the "ASURE 9" Touchscreen for 2009 Prius"

    However, Im concerned about the compatibility with the JBL system. In the video, I can see the JBL logos and assume he has it in his car, and the unit seemed to be plug and play. However, the description on amazon says two things: that it is compatible with the JBL Amplifier, but it does not work with 6+ speaker systems. Couple this conflicting/confusing data with the plethora of topics/threads on JBL system compatibility w/ aftermarket touchscreen radios, and my head is about ready to explode. I will be trying an install this weekend and will report back, but ahead of that, wondering if anyone has any experience or opinion on whether this will work?

    Confirmed that this unit was plug and play. Very easy to install and works with the JBL system. All 9 speakers work in addition to steering wheel controls.

    Thanks for following up. Just picked up a 2005 on the cheap with a failed hybrid battery and rebuilt that. A head unit like this is in it's future, good to know it'll work with my JBL system.

    Happy with it so far?

    Im getting this unit as well, for my 2009 prius. I assume you didn't do anything but plug and play. Was wondering if the climate control on the steering wheel (A/C on off and temp up down buttons) are working off the bat after installation? And the climate / AC buttons on the original MFD at top still working as well? Asking this because I read somewhere and saw some youtube similar installation that you need to add/install a resistor to make those work?

    Thanks for the reply in advance.
