Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Speedo Not Working After Stereo Install
I recently picked up a 2007 Prius and absolutely love the car. This past weekend, I installed an aftermarket head unit where the pocket below the radio was (kept stock unit plugged in to avoid climate control issues, plus like the stealth aspect), along with an amp and sub combo.

My prius 2008 I have been using for past 8 months or so was running fine with no issues until recently its audio system started malfunctioning. The power/disc/am/scan or volume tab won't function but it can be operated through the button on steering wheel .
After restarting car two times it started working.
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Upgrading Rims And Stereo
So need rims and a stereo upgrade. I am getting my Prius on the 28th and want to do the stereo upgrade immediately. My stereo shop here in Tampa is saying that they don't want to do more than 1 amp because the draw could be too much and give me problems with the electrical system. SO I wonder how much power all the things in the car take up while running and then how big an amp (or two) can I put in there? How many Amps (not amplifiers) do I have left over safely for use in upgrading the stereo?
I have a Pioneer Avic stereo (not sure the model at the moment but it does DVDs, CDs, and NAV. Has 5v pre-outs which are nice. I also want to run a set of
Up Front:
DLS Ultimate Iridium 6.3i components up front
6.5" woofer, 3" midrange, 1.1" tweeter. 100w RMS per channel
I thought to put the woofer in the door, the 3" in the dash like rrolff's squaker install (I have the NONJBL audio too). and tweeter in the stock location.
Rear:
Possibly component set in the rear doors but haven't really decided yet.
I have a set of 5.25-inch components that can go back there from DLS as well Figured why not use them. but if there are better ones out there I am not opposed to it.
The amps I am considering are both JL One is the HD 900/5 which is 100x4 + 500x1 or the XD 700/5 which is 75x4 + 300x1
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Installing A NAV Unit From 2010 To JBL Stereo

Are the wiring harnesses the same?
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Stereo Display Flickers And All CDs Ejected When Hot Outside
I have a 201o Prius with the stock stereo (no nav system). When it's hot outside (100deg+ F) and I get into the car, often the stereo display will flash and the unit is inoperable. Then, all the CDs are ejected. After I turn on the AC and the interior cools down, I can press the power button on the stereo and it comes back to life.

I have a 2006 Prius with Nav/JBL audio. For nearly 8 months, my stereo has been cutting in/out intermittently. When it cuts out, it has the following effects: lights on the stereo itself dim almost entirely, and: AM - completely silent; FM - I hear fuzz; CD - music plays, but volume is significantly cut and sound is heavily distorted (particularly bass frequencies); AUX - acts the same as CD.
I've confirmed that the fuses are fine. Assuming it will fix my problem, I would like to replace the stereo with a new double-din deck, but I am not sure how to tell whether I am dealing with a stereo deck issue or a amplifier issue. Given the dimming of the lights, my guess is that it is the stereo itself and not the amp - I would prefer not to have to mess with replacing the amp.
Whether this sounds like a stereo deck problem vs an amplifier issue?
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Adding Aux Input To Factory Stereo
Is it possible? My friend just bought a 2013 model but i'm not sure what trim level it is. It has no USB or Aux input. Is the input adapter something that can be removed from a wrecked gen 3 prius and just plugged into hers and be recognized?

Is that normal? it says check connection of air conditions. Also the energy page went kind of blank on the battery part, and mpg and miles don't get updated any more, is that normal? how should I fix it?
I noticed there are three wire connector(besides antenna) connects to original audio system, I unplugged all of them, I plugged two of them to the new audio system, should I plugging in the other one back to it, does that work?
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2007 Stereo Changed - Not Showing Tracks On LCD?
Recently I changed my 2007 Prius sterio (basic audio cd) to Prius factory sterio (51824) that has mp3.
Even though it is playing mp3 cds fine but I am not able to see the track info on the lcd while playing mp3 cd in the unit.
I am also not able to skip a folder (no option for it) only can skip tracks 1 by 1.
I also added 4 wires in the 20 pin connector that ables aux input which works perfect.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Stereo Power / Volume Button Popped Out
Strange occurrence the other day that I have not been able to remedy. The volume/power button that can pop in & out on the dashboard hadn't been used of late but when I went to depress it, the button popped out. It is spring loaded and the knob itself has an end that is cut into quarters - persumably to fit into the female end within the JBL stereo unit itself. But can't figure out how to get it to stay in place as it continues to pop back out. Volume & power functions still work but button/knob won't stay in.

View 4 RepliesGen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2006 - While Stereo Playing Sound Cut Off Abruptly?
I have a 06 JDM prius with hard drive-based audio and navigation system. Today the car was parked in a ready mode with the stereo playing and the audio cut off abruptly. I investigated and found that all of the audio and navigation controls on both the steering wheel and center console were unresponsive. It is impossible to switch between modes I.e. CD, HDD,radio and the CD drive no longer rejects. Bluetooth pairing works but no sound coming from the driver side speaker when in a phone call. When the car is started the MFD shows that it's playing audio from the hard drive as shown below but there's no sound and its impossible to change tracks.

2005 Prius with Premium JBL sound system with CD Changer, tape Deck, etc. package 6 with Navigation.
Since it's a 2005 no USB input for my iPhone 4s to play music. I often stream pandora or music that's stored on my phone.
So far I have been connecting my iPhone with cassette adapter to headphone jack. The audio pretty much sucks through this method and FM transmitters are even worse!
What is the best way to connect iPhone 4s to my Prius stereo? What exactly is DICE and how good is the Audio Quality?
I do not use CD change at all! Is changer connected to an Aux. input that I can switch out for a USB input?
Can I just swap out my unit for a later model with USB input? Looking for the best audio quality option.

I figured out how to get the text message function to work on my head unit. It was a setting on my iPhone, under Bluetooth it was the "show notifications". Then all of a sudden bam any texts I get while in the car pop up and the HU will read them aloud, also there are a bunch of quick responses.

My MFD now only shows the Toyota Logo, whatever I do. Also, I cannot play music. The trick with pressing (hold) INFO and headlights three times does not bring up a diagnostic screen. My theory is that the MFD is waiting for some signal over the network before showing the usual screen (and it never gets that signal). Some years ago, I had a third party fit a new audio tuner and player (non-Toyota), and that worked more or less fine for years.
They had to leave the old faulty Toyota audio in the circuit to make it all work, and they said to leave the graphic equaliser on even settings, and then forget it. The old Toyota audio CD changer had failed, but the rest was OK. My 'guess' is that they had to leave the old audio device connected because it terminates the AVC-LAN with a 60 ohm resistor. Maybe that connection came off, and now the LAN signals are not good, and the MFD is locked up 'always waiting' for the signal from an ECU.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: DVD Playback Is Not Working?
I just got finished putting in a Soundstream VR-652nb head unit into my 04 Prius. Everything is working great except when I try to play a DVD, the stereo thinks the car is driving. Even when I'm in Park with the E brake on or in Acc mode, the head unit still thinks that the car is driving.

I have a 2010 package IV not 4 because it is a 2010 and only 2010 used uppercase roman numerals for model designation, with jbl non nav stereo. I have been having issues with the volume control not working so was looking into upgrading it to a a jbl with nav since I can get a good deal on the stereo and nav antenna. My question is will the existing wire harness support this and will a unit from a 2012-2013 fit a 2010?
