Hud

Can anyone tell me does the package IV have HUD and does interface with the Nav unit ?

Unfortunately, you can't get the HUD in the United States.

Yes the head up display does display navigation instructions, no, you can't have one unless you move out of North America.

Thank you Toyota for giving me something else to tease the yanks with now that Prius comes with seat height adjustment in the US.
Toyota think of everything!

Is the HUD available in Cananda? I really want that and the rain sensing wipers. I have it in my Mercedes and really will miss it. I get so bugged when I'm in someone's car and their wipers are on when it's not raining. I'm this close to buying a Prius V with ATP but am hoping that they revamp their packages and take out the headlight cleaners and have a fully loaded prius minus leather seats.

Wait, can I buy a car in Canada and use it in the US?

Get the 2010 Lexus RX450h which will have everything you want in a hybrid.

Too expensive. Just the extra money for maintenance is too much on a Lexus. I just wanna replace some options that are on the car available in the US (headlight washers and leather) with two options availble overseas (HUD and rain sensors). I'd be buying one right now if i could.

Don't forget the side indicators in the mirrors and the Auto-on lights that we get and the US cars don't.

I wan't the HUD! The frustrating thing is I probably will get my Prius this year, and I just know that next year they will probably offer the HUD.

Anyone know if it's something you could have installed aftermarket?

It is frustrating because you look at the HUD, Seat Adjustment, Side Mirrors, and what Toyota offers as packages, coupled with geographic differences and availability and you have to wonder how Toyota makes the decisions they make. I can't imagine HUD adds too much weight, nor side signal mirrors, for me the HUD is the option not available in the US that I envy the most. If they are worried about cost? Make it a full accessory option..hopefully stand alone and not tied to a $2000 dollar pkg with 5 things I don't want.

Don't be so sure about that. They won't equip the Prius with too much luxury stuff so as to avoid competition with the Lexus HS 205h hybrid, and the fully-loaded Prius already has the technology package found only on high-end Lexus.

Whaaaaat!!!????? Are they mad!!!!??? That is by far the best new feature of the Gen III (after the lower fuel consumption of course). It is absolutely awesome, really a huge safety feature.
