Going to try to just plug it into existing USB-C power outlets.
We'll see.

edit: I think I like this spot. All I have is a suction cup mount which doesn't work on that plastic surface, which is quite sloped.

I want to add the JBL Basspro SL2 under my passenger seat

Guides online say to tap into left and right signal wires for the high level input, but super confused on which wires I should tap into. Does anyone know which wires I should tap? I included pictures of the wire harnesses in the car
Or is there any way to use the empty harness...

1. Feed your own wires from behind the stereo to the tweeters. It's not hard, you can use a thin stick to tape the wire to and push it through the opening in the dash behind the stereo to each tweeter. This allows you to have your tweeters on your wires and they'll be disconnected from factory wiring. Your front and rear doors will stay connected to factory wiring. Now you have individual control over all 3 sets of speakers.
2. If you're installing your own amp, just use OFC...

Well it seems Apple has answered my prayers. From what I have been reading video streaming is coming to CarPlay very soon.

There is several new references to CarPlay video streaming functionality within the up coming iOS 26.4 beta's source code.

Full functionality...

The car: new 2024 Prius LE (about 100 miles on it so far).

The problem: radio having been turned on, station selected, and playing at the end of a trip (power switch turned off, driver exits vehicle & locks doors). Sometimes starts playing automatically next time car is powered on, and driver starts driving. Sometimes stays silent (and manually enabling audio doesn't do anything). Often will...
