Swap out Entune for Premium HDD

Curious about this too. Signed up on this forum just to look for this answer but having a tough finding anything specific to upgrading to OEM HDD premium. My guess is it's plug n play esp if you have a 6" navi with JBL. Noticed a lot of people here do swaps to aftermarket navs, be it Chinese or high quality names like Alpine, JVC, etc.

My guess is given the cost of the HDD Premium nav from Toyota (~$1,000 on eBay), most find a better value just to get a high quality aftermarket.

 

Yeah the oem display accesses a lot of the diagnostic stuff for this car so I don't blame you. I'd ask crutchfield whether any aftermarket will be direct PnP. Calling them gets you straight answers. I've had lots of aftermarket stuff on prior cars and most of the time, you get a higher quality unit for same $ or less. Unless someone here has done the oem hdd premium navi upgrade and can chime in...

 

Back in January of this year, I was looking for a new Prius. My local dealer had a used 2010 Prius 5 with ATP. New to Prius, I liked the car. As stated, I wanted new. They then show me a new 2012 Prius 5 without ATP. I was surprised at the downgrade of the small, non ATP display. I was interested in the Prius 5 and the price they quoted. But, I stated, it had to have the larger 7" display. I was told that it wasn't a simple swap (plug in play). As a result, I passed on the Prius 5 on hand and put a deposit on a inbound 2013 Prius 5 w/ATP. Once I got wind of the good deals on closeout 2012 PIPs, I found a 2012 Plug In Advance and purchased it. The 7" display is a huge improvement and well worth the extra cost to me to include other features w/ATP and the Plug In Advance. Trying to retrofit/add missing options is frustrating, expensive, and many times impossible.
