    Hi everyone. I have a 2008 Prius with 165k and the MFD screen still displays correctly. I can navigate and control all the functionality with the side buttons and the steering wheel controls but the touch screen isn't responding. I have cleaned it and every once in a while it will work for a short period.

    Has anyone else had this issue? Do I need to replace the MFD?

    Others have posted with problems with the touchscreen. While it may technically be repairable, the easiest solution is to replace the MFD. I think if you search on ebay you can find used, working ones for not too expensive (new factory replacement will be $$$$$). It's easy to replace yourself, just look on Youtube for tutorials on how to replace/install the CD player for the 2nd gen (you have to remove the MFD to install/replace a CD player). I've removed and reinstalled mine twice for this reason.

    I believe you'll want to match MFDs for your Prius model Pre/Post refresh (2004-2006/7 or 2006/7 to 2009) and navigation/non-navigation. Others can confirm exactly what's compatible/not.
