Head unit (radio) replacement (found one maybe?) 2017 Prius 4

I too have the JBL stereo and from what I have researched so far it's a no no.

I'm in the UK so those links would not be of any use to me, but you could use the ask a question box and see what they say.

The only videos on YouTube I have seen so far have been non JBL units, I guess the additional amp it has complicates things

 

I've had this installed in my 2017 Prius 4 for about a year. Generally works well. Installation was very simply.
Beat-Sonic Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto for 2014-2019 Toyota models with Entune 2.0 and Entune 2.5

It's kind of weird getting used to the combination of buttons to push to engage the unit but overall I'm very happy with it.

But 1 year later, my actual radio is failing. I removed the Beat-Sonic unit and the radio is still failing. Of course it's just out of warranty.

Looking once again for options.

 

Kenwood or JVC are usually my go-to brands. I used a Pioneer in my old Highlander and it kinda annoyed me over time. Especially since pioneer stopped supporting it within a year of release.

SM-G981V ?
