    Hi to all!
    I am some reverse engeneer and have 2018 Prius Prime with 11.6 headunit.

    I maked working Apple Carplay solution for 2017-2020 models Prius Prime and Prius with 11.6" screen.

    2 steps to make it working:
    - rewrite software image, it is necessary to disassemble the headunit for write my special firmware;
    - install my Carplay Box (see attached prototype image).

    Now I am preparing for production the first batch of 50 devices for my local market (west Europe).
    In the USA I will need a partner from the local market for sales and service.

    The best solution would be to find a partner who will give me a temporary work visa and I will work locally in the USA for some time. If you or someone you know has this opportunity, please share my message and my contacts - telegram @hmnvdk, or whatsapp. I am confident that we will be able to reach an agreement.

    This is insanely groundbreaking for '17-'20 owners who want Carplay. Do you have any other updates?
