    I just pulled the trigger on a Smarty Trend 9.5” Android head unit:

    Toyota Prius XW30 (2009-2015) Android car radio - 9 inches

    Now I’m looking to replace the backup camera. I’m trying to find a plug-and-play unit and found the following:

    It appears like it is a direct replacement to the OEM backup camera. Would the cabling need to be replaced or will it work in HD with the existing cabling? I’m also hesitant to purchase without any reviews, but it is tempting.

    Any thoughts?

    No thoughts, but I'll be very interested to hear your experience with that head unit, and also the backup camera? I'd like to upgrade my head unit, but it's so hard to tell how well these android radios actually work. Particularly with stock backup cam/steering wheel controls/etc.
