    I used a bolt and nut, Drilled a hole where it should be according to the oem bracket and bolted it down. The plastic is any old ABS plastic but I honestly used an old case to an external hard drive.

    I bought a very expensive set of speakers. They are the Morel Elate 6" components. These include a 1" MT-23 Morel Tweeter. The Tweeter that is installed at the factory I believe is a 3/4" but am not sure.

    Does the TOYUSB worked with the OEM USB/3.5mm headphone in your head unit?

    The USB works with this but not the AUX. I was going to go through the mess of wires and figure out which ones do this, but I really don't use the Aux that much and needed it for my iPod to work with the Kenwood cable.

    Do you know how to get the jumper cable if you dont have one? I upgrades to a C3 radio/nav unit and have everything working minus the CAR and APPS and one other thing im assuming because Im missing this wiring to provide power to the components?

    Thank you for the help....I'm a little uncertain if I can do the mods without totally messing up my electronics....but ill review it and thanks so much for the detailed pictures. The alarm wire you mentioned? is this just a wire that is unused in the prius C or a wire you had to splice with?
