    Well, I guess the question is, is it tagged anywhere on the car, or is there anyway to tell by VIN?
    As far as I can tell, the car does not have the NAV system, no heated seats or leather, no advanced rear view mirror (no buttons and all), no foglights, no DVD player.
    It does have alloy wheels, rear wing, that little black spirol antenna on top of the cab, smart key, Cd player.
    Is there a site that would help figure this out? Maybe Toyota related?

    Integrated garage door opener. You can program it to open/close your garage door or gate or anything else that's homelinked (e.g. you can get an adapter for your interior home lights and have that programmed but the garage is the most common use)

    Homelink on Priuses takes the form of a bunch of buttons on the bottom of the rear view mirror along w/auto dimming and a green LED.

    The mirror is very similar/the same as the auto dimming mirror w/Homelink mirror I've seen on many other cars, not just Toyota. The one in my Z looks almost identical.

    For some reason I cannot get an answer on the Audio and Elecronics forum, so I'll ask here, since I see more knowledgeable guys chiming in: Is there a way to get A/V input from a 2005 with no Nav system?Thanks again, in advance.

    Yes. Since you already have a screen, you can play A/V (regardless of whether you have the nav or not). You need a video controller like this one
