Hi guys, Posted this originally in the Prius v forum by mistake. I have recently bought a 2010 Prius I-Tech, which is an Australian variant of the Prius which most closely matches the feature set of the US Prius 5 with ATP package. I've been looking through the threads on PriusChat and cannot seem to find an answer to this question: Is there any aftermarket head unit upgrade that retains the Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) functionality? I'd like to upgrade the head unit to something which sounds a little better and offers better A2DP streaming (the Australian Prius I-Tech doesn't offer stock Bluetooth streaming and the GROM Audio unit I am currently using to achieve this is temperamental). Everything I read suggests that you loose IPA if you do this upgrade, and while I know most people probably won't miss the feature, I personally find it very useful. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks!
Search Member ShawnB2 here at PC. His was a Level 5 with ATP. He ended up replacing his HU with a Kenwood DNX9980, but he did loose those functions. I have not heard of any aftermarket that retains those function though, so you just might have to make a choice of which you prefer, parking or music. Let us know if you find a solution. Best Wishes.
