    Anyone who's used Google or Yahoo Maps with their real-time traffic conditions, or the better GPS units, knows that the factory-installed Prius system is way behind the times. Is there any modification -- I'd assuming Bluetooth -- that adds this capability to the Prius?

    You can subscribe to a traffic service with the TomTom units or its available "free" with the iPhone.

    Not just the iPhone, any phone that can run Google Maps.

    You could buy a Garmin NuVi 660 and place it over the MFD.
