    I bought my Prius with the screen not working it always said “check the connection of the air conditioner” and the audio is off my new replacement just came in today and it didn’t work was just the same thing. I looked all over the place and still can’t find a video or nothing about it any suggestions on what the problem may be? If ik prius were this difficult I wouldn’t had gotten it

    Also my mfd doesn’t show anything from the outside temp, the mile range, or if any of the arrows that show the battery is being charged

    Hey so I had bought a new MFD for my 2005 Prius nd it still shows “check the connection of the air conditioner” and the audio still doesn’t work. I went back to check each connection and there is a white and red wire that doesn’t even have a connection to anything on the MFD or anywhere else behind it. Any suggestions on what to do the MFD I bought was tested in another Prius also and worked but in mines it just doesn’t. Need help I don’t wanna have to pay for an overpriced repair. The MFD also doesn’t show the fuel range or if the battery is being Charged or not

    Where did that connector go in the Prius where you tested the newly acquired MFD?

    Yes you did get a rolling computer and one of the most complex cars ever made.

    First thought is the network is not getting to it. Second thought is someone had an aftermarket radio at one time.

    There are a couple different multifunction displays and radio pairs available so determining which one you have may help.

    Here are a couple pdfs
