    I use 2 bluetooth at the same time one for the aux that connects to my belkin audio bluetooth and the onboard bluetooth for the phone. I guess you can connect a separate XM player and connect it to your AUX and you are good to go.

    Meh. I just spent $200 in February on the kit to make it integrated into the OEM HU.

    Edit: I just found one on eBay that supports Sirius!

    Help!
    I decided to replace the dash speakers first. I need a connector adapter for the dash speakers.
    Crutchfield has the door speakers+connector adapters, but not for the dash speakers.

    The better question to ask itself is why wouldn't u?

    U've spent the money on the head unit, why not get the OEM back up cam working?

    Finally got my unit all installed, rooted, ROM'd, and running great! I can't recommend going through Eric Chen on Ali Express enough! The guy was top notch, I emailed him that I wanted to make a purchase, he asked what car and features I had and he sent me a link to a unit with an agreed price. He sent me pics of the unit testing and shipping and I had it within 4 days shipping time, whole process took a week. I upgraded everything I could because it was only an extra $40 to upgrade to quad core and HD screen. The plastic color match is great in my 2010 prius.

    Only thing left to install is the Dash cam and the reverse camera, which are in the mail!

    For $18, I took a chance on a camera that is supposed to fit in the OEM hole. If you want the link, let me know, I can't post links yet.
    Beats spending $60 and hacking up the original.

    The $59 harness is pnp.....no hacking involved

    Here's the problem with an aftermarket cam when u already have an OEM cam:

    The aftermarket cam is mounted on the blank by means of drilling a hole in the blank, sliding the threaded stem of the cam through the hold & using a nut to secure it in place.

    Great when u don't have an OEM cam however if u do have an OEM cam, that plate is no long there since its been replaced with the factory cam.

    Once u remove the OEM cam, there is nothing to mount the aftermarket cam to.
