    The 12v power receptacle by itself won't connect to the radio's audio input by hardwire or bluetooth. However any radio/mfd from a 2013 Prius should have a bluetooth receiver built in. Yours may be broken which does happen. Sharing the radio model number in the bottom right corner (like 57011) would confirm since your UK system may be different.

    On US models with built in navigation, there is an auxiliary box bolted on the bottom of the main mfd body. It provides nav and enhanced bluetooth. When it fails bluetooth fails as well. Sometimes simply disconnecting the auxiliary box will enable another bluetooth receiver in the main unit.
