Hi! My 2014 Prius Three's radio recently got upgraded to the Sony XAV-AX6000 and Maestro RR & I am enjoying the new features. Didn't realize though that when on CarPlay the mic input comes from the head unit and I did not plug in an external microphone...so other people can't hear me. ☹️ Also, I didn't get the mic that came with the head unit as I bought...

i have a 2010 Gen 3 prius with a navi and separate passenger amp , i am trying to install an Alpine SWE-815 active subwoofer , i should support High level and RCA , i tried connecting to the rear speakers , however it sounds very shallow for what it should sound , i tried to also connect it to the front speakers but also the same issue , should i connect it to the pre-amp signal or what do you think the issue is ?

Thank you]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:50:23 +0000 https://priuschat.com/threads/cant-find-an-adapter-for-the-stock-backup-camera.259350/ https://priuschat.com/threads/cant-find-an-adapter-for-the-stock-backup-camera.259350/ invalid@example.com (taupehat) taupehat

installing a new powered sub into my 2014 prius plug in.

i noticed there were two spots to connect my power wire and I chose the one closer to the front of the car. Anyone know the difference between A and B?

And if using A is safe?
Thx!
