    Hello all,
    I finished up my head unit upgrade last weekend. I just finished up the documentation (attached).

    Again, a huge thanks to all the PC members that made the upgrade and document possible!

    Hope someone can get use out of the document. Helpful comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

    Peter

    Quick question. Will this guide work with prius 3, non nav? I think the only difference is the jbl amp and speakers.

    Just a guess, but I would say yes. If you proceed, let me know how it goes and I will add the information to the document.

    I think someone needs to make a request to the moderators to make that happen, not sure though.

    Spiderman - I got the tyto-01 instead of the pac-tato because of the jbl system in the prius 3. Do you agree that I will need to put ht 560 ohm resistor on this setup?

    I couldn't tell you for sure as I didn't use that one. Just looking at the product briefly, it appears to have a 12 to 20 pin connector which I would assume would connect directly to the car harness with nothing more to do.
    There are others on here that have used that product I believe. Hopefully they will chime in.

    Great work! This should come handy for 2010 or later model owners.

    Interesting... the technology seems to be being developed by a company right here in Anchorage Alaska.

    I'm upgrading the JBL system in my Prius III this weekend. I'll try to do half as good a job in documenting Spiderman did on his Prius II.

    That will be great. If you want, I can attach that document to this thread (first post).
    Good luck,
