    III
    I just bought a 2008 Prius yesterday. The dealer said he thought it was a level III but isn't sure. It has a back-up camera, MP3 port, smart key, and bluetooth. I was learning all of my buttons last night and noticed htere is a map button on the steering wheel. When i press it, the screen says "external device not connected" What does this mean? Do I have navigation in this vehicle? Do I have to buy another piece to make it work?

    Thanks for my assitance :)

    Hi TD,

    Can't answer your question, but here's the 2008 Prius eBrochure which lists the equipment that is standard and in the different option packages:

    I know that Navigation only comes in Option Package #5 and #6.

    If you push the "Map" button and the GPS screen doesn't come up . . . then no you don't have navigation. Don't sweat it though the Prius Navigation System isn't that great. Go get yourself a Garmin/TomTom/Magellan with free traffic and you will be much better off.
