Toyota Prius upgrades, generation by generation.

The 2009–2015 XW30 and the 2016–2022 XW50, and most of them are Japanese imports with a Japanese unit that cannot do CarPlay or pick up all Irish stations. Those get the Android screen with wireless CarPlay, DAB and a camera. Irish-spec Touch 2 cars sometimes take a CarPlay box instead so the factory unit stays.

Yes. The Android screen has a European FM tuner and DAB, so Irish stations come in properly, and it adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in place of the Japanese unit. The fascia and harness match the ZVW30 or ZVW50 dash and nothing is cut. The dashboard language on the instrument cluster is a separate job we can quote for at the same time.

Yes, as long as it is wired properly. The Prius has a small 12 V battery in the boot, so anything with parking mode gets a low-voltage cut-off and power is taken from the fuse box under the driver's side of the dash, never from the hybrid system. The reversing camera only draws power in reverse and does not affect the battery.

XW20 — 2003–2009: Multi-function display for energy and climate in the dash top, with a separate CD radio below; JBL on some cars. XW30 — 2009–2015: Factory CD radio on most Irish cars, Toyota Touch on some 2012–2015 cars; Japanese-import ZVW30 cars carry a Japanese unit. XW50 — 2016–2022: Toyota Touch 2 with Go 7 or 8-inch; no CarPlay on most cars, some late cars have it; many Irish cars are Japanese imports with a Japanese unit. XW60 — 2023 on: Toyota Smart Connect 8 or 12.3-inch with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

Reversing camera: Tailgate-handle camera on the Android screen, the Touch 2 input or a mirror monitor. Car radio: Android screen with DAB and a camera input using the XW30 and XW50 Prius kits. CarPlay: Android screen on the XW20, XW30 and XW50, box option on Touch 2 cars, factory CarPlay on the XW60. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: Colour-matched sensors with a factory-style tone, shown on the screen where the car supports it. Dash cam: Hardwired from the fuse box with parking mode and a low-voltage cut-off, cables hidden. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

Reversing camera: two to three hours. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Ambient lighting: two to four hours. Most Prius owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

XW20: the Multi-function display for energy and climate in the dash top, with a separate CD radio below; JBL on some cars stays and we add to it. XW30: the Factory CD radio on most Irish cars, Toyota Touch on some 2012–2015 cars; Japanese-import ZVW30 cars carry a Japanese unit stays and we add to it. XW50: the Toyota Touch 2 with Go 7 or 8-inch; no CarPlay on most cars, some late cars have it; many Irish cars are Japanese imports with a Japanese unit stays and we add to it. XW60: the Toyota Smart Connect 8 or 12.3-inch with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
