I want to thank you for making this video, it was incredibly detailed and taught me a lot about my car. However I would recommend for anyone that cares at all about audio quality and has the JBL amp to avoid the Metra TYTO-01 digital audio interface recommended in this video and get the Metra 70-8117 factory amplifier bypass harness. The bypass harness allows you to plug your speakers directly into to your new stereos amplifier without a redundant digital conversion. You do have to take out your front seats and pull back the front carpet to feed the bypass harness under the passenger seat carpet to behind the dash. I first used the TYTO-01 as recommend in this video and the audio quality was terrible. Turning up any music with bass would make the woofers cut out, and there was a constant hissing noise when nothing was playing. The quality with the bypass harness is night and day.
This may be the absolute best car stereo installation video i've ever seen! Thank you so much for taking the time to film every step and describe in detail what you're doing. I wish all tutorial videos had this level of detail.
Grom Audio has a unit that piggybacks on the existing hardware giving both Apple CarPlay or Android Auto using the Prius OEM Display. This unit allows TH-cam and Netflix on Prius OEM display. This unit has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. Typically, the HDMI output allows for an external monitor while HDMI input allows adding Chromcast or mouse to the unit. There are separate RCA connections for rear camera or front cam. The unit has 2 USB ports and port for a microSD Card. Installation takes a couple hours. There is no splicing of wires. The kit comes with custom cables that interface with the pre-existing Prius cables. This allows for a factory look with all the functionality of the Prius buttons in place. I found this unit from Prius Chat forum.
This is one of the most helpful TH-cam videos I have ever come across. After watching this video I was able to install a double din Pioneer head unit into my 06 Prius with factory "premium" JBL audio fairly effortlessly. Thanks so much for your videos! The only changes that I did was mount a USB/3.5mm audio jack inputs directly into the center plastic compartment below the head unit. I also decided not to tap into the existing factory mic just yet and used the Pioneer mic, but left enough cabling tucked under the paneling for tapping into the factory mic in the future. The sound is significantly better now and I finally have navigation in the Prius! Thanks again!
Glad to see that Toyota made it easier to do an aftermarket stereo swap-out. When I was your age, we used to have to start from the frame and work up. In a blizzard. In the dark.
Excellent video! I was about to give up but then I watched your video several times and was able to install a single din atoto with backup camera and steering wheel controls. You’re a lifesaver.
If you're watching this in 2021, just buy the head unit from Best Buy, buy the ASWC-1 off Amazon, and your vehicle specific dash kit off eBay or Amazon. Best Buy would install it for free.

Just want to send a belated thank you for this video. Thanks to you, I upgraded my own radio in my 2009 prius. (Did the pioneer AVH-W4500NEX). Cruising in style now! ;)
I'm very impressed in your video that you do an excellent job explaining everything! A lot of other content similar to yours skips important parts you've seen to cover just about everything!
Back when I was your age, I used to rip out the entire front dashboard to install 2DIN car audio... did fiberglass molds to make my own bezel to fit double DIN to 1.5DIN and did crap load of car audio install. These days... I just install a nice iPhone mount. Since most newer cars have AUX input... I just plug my phone into the Factory HeadUnit.
You are so brilliant and smart and - most importantly - skilled and knowledgeable that I hope you can make a million dollars a month doing business other than TH-cam videos which seems like charity:). Thank you!
I wish I could just hire you to do mine. This was a lot of work I can imagine, but seeing that you know how to retain steering wheel controls, and know about the climate control fix,I feel like I would only trust you and not the other guys from audio shops.
There's literally a website you can use to give you information about every model car in existence advising what and how to install aftermarket systems.
@@EarlCo So... you're saying it takes a long time to make videos? Because it took me an entire 10 minutes to find clear and concise information about an entire installation. Yes. It takes a long time to make videos.
@@davethefish7653 I can literally see it go from day to night to day again in the video so it took at least 2 days to actually install this thing while making a video, and yes, we are in agreement that making videos takes time. So if your only point is that it does NOT take days to RESEARCH, then great, you win. Want a cookie? I'm just recognizing and appreciating the time it took. If you can do it quicker and cover the same instructions in a shorter video, go for it! Maybe monetize your video too.
@@EarlCo I'm happy you are able to recognize the difference between daytime and nighttime because I sure didn't! That's insane! I commend you. Maybe make a video on how you were capable of doing that and get paid for it. That's even harder than looking at a digital schematic with every part needed with links to buy them!
that was amazing, thank you so much for making this video, all the time and care you took making it. This will be an essential guide for when im doing it as well. im doing this in japan, on the same car right now, im installing a 8core android box, with a 4 antenna high speed tuner, hoping, to watch tv while driving.. heh
Hi DocsWorld, How did the installation go? I want to do the same but confused with which android stereo to buy for my Prius 2008. Is it possible to share your stereo make/model or link? Basically I am confused with size i.e. dimensions and harness. Thanks in advance.
@@FarazKeVlog sure i can when i get a chance i believe it was called "pie" i will have to double check this later. the hardest part i will be honest, was.. when you start clipping cables.. things just stop working. in japan we have this etc card reader, that stopped, and the dash moniter stopped as well. I found via this video some info about how to make a jumper with a diode. i finally figured it out, and the moniter came back. was really hard.. but.. i finally got it done.. but remember i have 2003 prius so these wiring harnesses, and cable positions are most likely very different.
OMG, great job and you made my day! Your vid let a dream come true ... a good Pioneer-doubledin for my prius without spending 500 bucks or more to a specialist. Many many thanks !!! Maybe it will be difficult to buy the interfaces and cableadapter here in Germany, but the bay will solve this. Drive save and greetz from Cologne/Germany. Hans
This is way more difficult than it was in my 04 Chevy Silverado I never got to installing a dash kit so it’s just sitting there but I’m just thankful I don’t have to do all of this to have a different radio
ackk. using a screwdiver like that to take off the trim panels, will totally shatter them. They are fragile. I use a trim piece remover that is wider and has more surface area contact. These at this age are fragile as can be. Pop lower out then upper and go slow. Otherwise great info and video!
Great video. I just got a Prius and was wondering how to completely tear it apart. Difference between you and me though, is that I'll never get it back together. . . according to my wife.
Fantastic video! So far this is the most detailed one that I can find by FAR! This is gonna help me replace my stock Prius radio with a similar Pioneer. Thanks! A question: can you give me more detail on how you did the parking brake bypass? I'm guessing that was a purchase and not included with any of the products you bought?
Great work! Awesome result. After watching this video I fully appreciate how much knowledge and work is required to do this. I decided to just keep my original radio. I did plug in a mp3 player in the back of it with a usb and an aux input. So at least I can now listen to spotify from my phone. Which was my main concern.
Not gonna lie after seeing how much of a hassle this is I’m prolly just gonna pay Best Buy to do it. But nice video guys. You def didn’t leave anything out.
If you have an older Prius that has been out in the sun for the past 15+ years be VERY CAREFUL pulling out the vent panels. They are VERY BRITTLE and can break easily.
I have so much anxiety just watching your video. I thought I could do this, because I am a trooper when it comes to these types of tasks.. but I am not trooper. Not like this. Thank you so much for making me appreciate the task at hand 😂 I'll be calling bestbuy.
Super video I'm not one to actually reach out and say so but I enjoyed the video I'm going to be making a video soon on my $400 Prius a stereo upgrade is definitely going to be a part of it!
Wow, thank you very much. However, even if I'd like to have that in my Prius 2008, it's too much work with lots of after market accessories and loss of functions. Let alone the fact that if I want someone else to do it for me to avoid the gigantic mess I see in this vid, it will cost me an arm and a leg (plus the cost of the unit and accessories that have to be found which is not the easiest part). Anyway, good job? Cheers.
Appreciate all of your work with this video. Saved me a few hours of work. Got the new stereo in, only problem I have is the volume resets after the vehicle is stopped and then started. Doesn't seem to occur only if the ignition is in aux though. Any clue? Maybe a "feature" of the new head unit. Either way, I can't figure out how to fix that. Head unit is a Dual from Wal-Mart...
I've got the steering wheel control interface linked in the description. As for the bypassing the amp, when I did my research it sounded like you had to get a separate analogue amp to bypass the JBL amp. But I wasn't interested in putting that much effort. Though if you were talking about the parking break bypass which I used in the video, just search "Pioneer parking break bypass" on eBay or Amazon. Though you only need it for my head unit similar to mine, the 4100NEX, (if you have a newer model there's a secret setting you can search for to bypass it.)
Just bought my first Prius, a 2009, and I immediately HATE the radio. I'll be making a change similar to this one asap and use your video as guidance!! One thing I hoped you could answer... does the reverse camera already in the car still work in the top screen, along with all of the battery charging display, etc?

@@StilesJman Yes, since those buttons are connected to the multi-function display. The tuning, volume and mode buttons are connected to the radio.

Does the multifunction display “audio section” still work with the new radio or does that become obsolete?
do more prius upgrades please

Great video !! The harness to bypass the amp where can u buy it also the harness for the steering wheel controls ???

I saw Android auto and I clicked so fast lol
nice job
Who else is watching this even though they don't even have a prius?
I can't get the steering wheel controls to work or figure out where the rear speakers connect.
thank you good video, have you wired the dash cam yet?
Yep, I've got it installed. Though there's a one or two videos I want to finish before posting that one.

It's funny that he thinks that he is going to sell the prius sometimes soon but instead it got hit by lightning and i dont think he's selling it

btw pull panels from the bottom not the top
