    Vehicle:
    2021 Prius Prime
    Model:
    LE
    Parts List:
    Steering Wheel Controls Interface: ASWC-1
    Wiring Harness - Steering Controls: Axxess AX-TOY28SWC
    Wiring Harness - Power/Speakers: Metra 70-1761
    Antenna Adapter: Metra 40-LX11

    Backup Camera: E363 On Amazon - $13.95
    Smartphone to Radio: Panlong MHL to Composite on Amazon (haven't hooked up yet)

    Goals:
    Touchscreen radio with volume knob
    Bluetooth phone calls and streaming
    Android Bluetooth Pandora auto-launch + controls + station info
    Rear camera
    DVD/USB Audio Video
    Keep steering wheel controls
    Sat Radio

    Pics of the install: (note the rearview camera is the same exact camera, and the same radio in my wife's car, didn't have time to hook the camera up tonight).

    Overall impressions:
    I have a Prius C2, this radio BLOWS the factory one away, it sounds MUCH better with stock speakers just replacing the radio.

    Touchscreen is responsive, radio is fast, pandora integration is awesome and steering wheel controls are great.

    I'm thrilled.

    The last part of the install will be to try the MHL adapter which should allow me to display my phone AV on the radio. Will post how that goes in the future.

    Everything was bought at Amazon, they have good pricing and as a Prime member I got it quick :) IMG_20130721_123202.jpg IMG_20130801_193419.jpg IMG_20130801_213908.jpg IMG_20130801_214120.jpg IMG_20130801_214212.jpg

    I used to have this radio in my truck... I didn't take it out before trading it in (stupid, I know). It's one of the few double dins that has a detachable face plate. It's nice when you're leaving the car somewhere for an extended period of time unattended. The pandora was a little goofy w/ the bluetooth, they made it nicer for apple stuff than android. Looks good in there.
