I just bought a prius base 2007 for $11,300.00 89K miles through ebay. Received the car 2 days ago and realized that I would have to replace the screen because it has an UGLY scratch on it. I shopped around ebay for the screen with navi and found one for ~$350. the thing is I don't know if there's any catch that I need to know or might overlooked when replacing the screen. Is this a simple "plug and play" thing or are there other specific things that has to be met in order for it to work?? Thanks and much appreciated!
It's pretty much a plug in device. Just be careful to make sure all the plugs are well seated.If you haven't seen this, it's more than you ever need to know about these things: Prius MFD
Hi nh70, Thanks for the reply I am going to have to buckle down to read that link you posted- it's pretty intense, whoa! One follow up question though, I have a Base Prius, no navi, is it possible to buy an MFD with navi and have it work in my Base Prius?? Many many thanks!
Whoops, I think I misread your intent, the link below may not be actually what you're asking about. Retrofitting a stock navigation system | PriusChat There are at least two different versions of the screen. On 06+ models w/backup camera (ones w/nav would have backup camera), you get a higher res screen w/newer graphics. I have that. Ones without it get the old graphics w/an apparently lower res screen (I'v personally seen it on a used very stripped down 07 or 08). But, 04-05 models, there was no backup camera and they all the low res screen (nav or not).
