    Hi what's the best unit for my Prius 3 active (just radio, no navigation no bt ) ?
    My desire is to install a unit that match the internal of the car and have navigation and Bluetooth
    I'm from Italy so I don't know if for FM radio a us unit is OK..
    Any suggestion?

    Does this work well with the JBL speaker system (which is a Factory Toyota option)?
    This seems newer and more capable than the Pumpkin model... can anyone compare this model to any of other the other android options

    I don't know... If you shop on Amazon the retailer's are pretty good at replying to questions in a timely manner.

    I mounted mine on the top of the steering column, others have mounted them inside the dash. It can go just about anywhere.

    Yes I have seen people who stick it to the radio itself. If you put it under a lot of metal it may affect the performance. Obviously the less obstructed the better.

    Installation of the the back up camera was the hardest modification I've done. Required the wiring of a relay. I may post a tutorial as I had to look in many different places. I don't recommend doing it unless you consider yourself an installer.

    I haven't mounted this yet. I don't know what navigation sw is loaded. In the GPS card I see a folder named igo is a navigation sw ? I have a regular licence of sygic you think I can use it?

    If it's a downloadable app, yes. The igo sw is good but likely only U.S. & Canada. I use the igo in my car it's very good!
