    I have and 05 Prius that I recently wrecked. And I was planning to buy another non-running 05 Prius to use parts off of to fix my current car. The non-running Prius has a navigational MFD. Is it possible to swap my non-nav MFD out for the navigational MFD from the other car?

    Welcome to Prius Chat (y).

    If I were in this situation, I’d pay $15 for a 2 day subscription to techinfo.toyota.com and have a look at the wiring diagrams and connectors and see what’s the same or different;).

    I’m sure it an be done, just not sure what else you’d have to adapt to make it work:cool:.

    But the $15 you’d spend would help with that assessment :).

    How many miles on your wrecked Prius?

    Keep us posted (y).

    Nav units have a different steering wheel and controllers too. Also, it's old DVD tech with no updates and modern phones/apps are WAY better.

    Most likely no. The electrical connectors on the back of the unit are typically different for each model MFD. Many times the differences are subtle. IE...they may both have a 16 pin connector, but the small alignment tab or slot will be located in a different position, preventing the plug from fitting.

    Take a look on ebay for each model. There will probably be plenty of photos that you could compare, but I'm going to stick with "No".

    Thanks for the answer! My wrecked Prius has about 180,000 miles on it at the moment.

    I only recollect one person recently who was a go-getter type that did this just out of interest, as retrofitting was he was into, and did it just because.

    I can only suggest you use google to search this site, as it does a better job with fewer key words.

    Using this code on the Google search page: ...
    Code:
    site:priuschat.com "gen 2" Install nav in non-nav car
    ... I found this: post #4 | Install of OEM NAV in 2009 Prius w/o NAV | PriusChat

    I don't think you will find anyone to hold your hand on this one, sorry, it is just not something anyone cares to do anymore given modern options available.
