    I currently have a 2020 Prime LE with the base 7-inch radio and the only downside to the car is that it doesn't have Android Auto (2021 and later), so I am stuck with Carplay only.

    At the moment, I am looking to replace the stock head unit (86140-47620) with an OEM unit from a 2022 Prius (86140-47710). All of the connectors are the same (minus the unused green connector on my 2020) and it should (hopefully) just be a straight swap.

    Is it possible to do this or are there any software conflicts between model years that would cause issues? Would I have to take it to the dealer to have it reprogrammed or unlocked or anything like that?

    Someone already replaced it UPDATE: Android Auto in a 2020 Prime LE on Reddit.
    And I'm also looking into replacing my radio on my Prius 2020 XLE.

    Haha, that's actually my post on Reddit, I forgot to update my forum post here.

    It was pretty painless and the head units were pretty much identical and the swap took less than 20 minutes
