    Buy an aftermarket GPS. A search of this site will show that it is nearly impossible to add the factory nav.
    Many of us find that an aftermarket GPS has some advantages over the factory unit. They are more easily updated, portable and much less expensive.

    <_< Hi Paul...

    At the risk of being flippant... Trade your Prius for one with NAV already installed ---OR--- buy a good aftermarket GPS system.

    The "factory" NAV system is so completely integrated into the Prius, that adding it later is not a practical consideration IMO.

    Yeah i would buy a aftermarket, but i have an car that is wrecked and non repairable. So i got all of the parts from that one. Well i think i will try, and if doesnt work i will just put it up for sale on ebay.
