PriusChat lists the OEM integration unit for $209, which according to the posts I've seen should solve the problem, possibly losing the XM radio (not too bad). Is that the same unit that Toyota installs? Does it come with do-it-yourself instructions? Has anybody done the installation themselves? I don't want to pay Toyota $400-$500 to do something that should be easy.

Apparently VAIS Technology is developing a unit that is compatible with the 2010 Prius. I talked to one of their people. VAIS does come highly regarded. What have other people heard about this company?

I think I am having the same problem. No info is displayed. I have only just picked the car up. Will let you know if I find a solution.
