    Does anyone have the video and audio input pin numbers for the radio(or MFD) head unit?
    I have a non NAV 2004 and want to input a RGB-Gnd signal plus audio to the screen-radio.

    Since CoastalTech and others claim you can interface a backup camera to a non NAV Prius I am assuming I have a socket in the back of my radio that will accept video and audio by using the AM key.
    If you are asking if the NAV will play a DVD the answer is no (for the US version) as far as I know.

    This might help; everything you wanted to know about the 2nd Gen MFD interface but were afraid to ask:

    Liquid-Crystal
    Touch-Sensitive
    7.0 Inch Diagonal Width
    Energy Monitor
    Consumption Data
    Air Conditioner Interface
    Audio Interface
    Cell-Phone Interface (optional)
    Navigation Interface (optional)
    400x234, 16:9 ratio.
    Display size is 154.1mm x 87.5mm.
    Effective size is 143.4mm x 79.3mm.
    Single dot size is 0.107mm x 0.374mm. (RGB stripes)

    Walking through a grocery-store parking-lot the other day I noticed a new Toyota Sienna with ceiling mounted DVD entertainment system. In the back a movie was being watched by some kids, and the same video feed was coming over the MFD screen in the dash. If a Sienna can do it, so should Prius.

    But lets hope that the video feed to the dash can only be active while in park. I'd hate to think of a Sienna load of kids flying down the road with the driver is watching a favorite DVD...

    I'm looking for the easiest way to interface my new iPod (video) to my new Prius (Package 4). Is there a way to get the video on the screen and the audio through the stereo?

    Can you send me a copy of this wiring manual also? Want to connect a camera and have some problems diagnosing the cables...
    Thanks

    Not likely to get a response in a 4 year old thread.
