    I need a new radio for my car. I’d love to have one that is capable of having a back-up camera but that isn’t a touch-screen. Apparently those are incompatible requests. (Unless I want to pay $3000 to the dealer to replace my busted radio with the same kind of 10-year-old radio that my car came with. Which is absurd.)

    I know I can theoretically purchase a radio online, but I lack the know-how to install it. I don’t know anyone who’d do that for me either, so… despite our technological wonderland, guess I’m stuck with quiet drives for now. :(

      I don’t think it’s even possible to replace the radio in my Prius. Thankfully, it’s mostly operated through physical dials and buttons.

      It’s kinda like legos, getting your dash apart. If you have trim prying tools and a good screwdriver you’re pretty much good.

      I have a 2001 rn and the only reason I haven’t swapped it out is because I can’t find one that has everything I want. I really miss Bluetooth audio.
