Anyone had their display replaced?

A while back my touch control on display went out. Local dealer replaced it with a refurbished unit for about $525.

I have an '04 Prius, Package 9- took possession Feb '04; only c 8900 miles on it - and the whole screen system just went out..had to have it replaced,, past the three year warranty, but luckily the repair place went to bat for me and only charged labor. where can I read about this TSB? Is this common? I am also having an issue with my headlights being too high? or too bright? (people blink at me while approaching at night) and they wanted $600 for a new sensor..is this the only way to repair it? I am averaging 34 MPG (yes, I do use the heat, the a/c and the radio and I drive in the city of Chicago, where it is impossible to go more than 2 blocks w/o stopping) so I am not very happy right now....

For your display issue, here is an extensive discussion of MFD failures on the 2004s and early 2005s. It is in the midst of that thread that Hobbit reports the fix that Bob Wilson mentions above.

For your headlight issue, I occasionally have folks flash their highbeams at me too. Proper alignment has been verified as part of the annual state safety inspection, so I'm not worried about it. I just briefly flash back. I don't see how they could be too bright, and I have no idea what kind of sensor you're referring to.

I suggest you create a new thread to specifically ask your headlight question. Those with the interest and ability to answer may not see your question sandwiched between other unrelated questions in a thread about the display.

For fuel economy, there are countless threads that address the issue. Here's a good starting point. From there, the forum's search function will give you plenty to study.

Good luck, and welcome to PriusChat!
