    Hi there,

    New Prius owner here--just bought a 2004 with only 13,000 miles on it. Package #7 which suits me just fine--no big add-ons.

    I searched around the forums but couldn't find an answer to this question so I thought I would ask.

    I just learned that work is buying the employees the Blackberry 7130 and all of a sudden I'm yearning for the Bluetooth functionality in the Prius, which my package did not include.

    Is there a way that I can add a NAV system (with Bluetooth) to my vehicle? Should I check out coastaltech or go to a Toyota dealer? I would not be installing it myself (I have no aptitude for this type of thing).

    Thanks alot for any help,
    Victorria

    There is no easy way to add factory integrated bluetooth and nav to a system that did not come with it. It would be very expensive.

    The best choice is to get a Garmin Nuvi 360. It is a fully integrated GPS, MP3 player, and bluetooth phone interface. It is a hands free kit as well as having the ability to dial your phone and synchronize the phone books.

    You can mount it with it's suction cup on the swing forward portion of the front cupholder. It will cost MUCH LESS than the cost of the factory Nav option.

    good luck
