    So my 2013 Prius 3 didn’t come with a back up camera. But does my existing head unit have the connectors/pluggy bits in back to install a camera? Or do I need to buy a new head unit if I want to use that screen area for a back up camera?

    I’ve looked into this for my 2012, which has the standard touch screen and it seems that there is a wire loom adapter that must be used. Do some research and you’ll find it.
