    Eric never asked about bezel color. He never mention there was an option. I always assumed they were all gray

    He didn't ask me either. I was just trying to be prepared. I'm hoping it matches well. I think it will based on the pictures.

    Nexus 7 ?

    FWIW, Here is a YouTube video reviewing a similar unit. This video got me looking at these...and since I have just a basic Prius, it would provide a substantial upgrade. I played around with the Torque app on my Nexus 7 and it works really well by the way. Having that integrated into the dash will be handy. I downloaded the Sygic GPS app as well. I think the one that we ordered has a different GPS app...but the Sygic one has been working well for me. And free too! (You can upgrade it to some premium features if you want.)

    It comes loaded with Google maps but not for offline use. You would have to either use a 3G or your phone data.

    Please correct me! I think from 2012, the color dash bezel is dark grey.
    2010/2011 - black,
    2012 - 2015 - dark grey
    PIP - Light grey silver

    @Sergiospl is your steering wheel control remains functional including the temp controls, trip, and display after the install?

    This looks to be a very similar unit to one I've just received from China to fit to my 2011 Prius T4. I bought mine from autopumpkin, with a 10% discount and free shipping, it took 5 days to arrive in the UK. Being a new member I'm not able to post a link to it, but it is easy to find on their website.

    However, the one they sent me has different buttons down each side to that on the website - see my image. I did email them about it and they said it has been updated. There are a number on ebay, some have buttons as on their website and some have the same as I have. I see it already has a 4gb card in the GPS card slot, which is next to a USB port, lower left behind a false button. I assume this is the supplied IGO maps app.

    I'm having an auto electrician fit it on Monday, it needs a backup camera feed re-routing from a mirror monitor I had fitted last year, and I want to be sure it's all done properly as I don't fully trust myself!

    Will update further when it is installed.

    Yes, I only reprogrammed the left side buttons of the steering wheel!

    I would not touch the right side buttons of the steering wheel(TRIP/DISP/TEMP Up/Down buttons), but I reprogrammed Volume and Mode buttons of the left side of the steering wheel.

    Home screen to Settings, scroll to Steering wheel control and program one by one the Volume Up and Down buttons .
    Press desired screen button, then press desired steering wheel button, then press again same desired screen button, it will blink, then click SAVE or reprogram all 4 buttons, then click SAVE(Can change later)

    I program down arrow "MODE" to start NAVIGATION.
    I program Up arrow "MODE" to switch to music, dvd, video etc... or can be programmed to go to next song.
