Problems after 12 volt replacement

Return it?

 

GET RID OF IT.
Don't throw good money after bad.
Seriously, you are not "stuck with it".

 

If they sold this with an altered mileage get your money back. The head unit may be the least of your problems. The only way I would keep it is if it was a screaming deal (<$3500), everything worked and they could show me the engine and hv battery had been replaced in the last 50k miles.

 

what is the new battery measuring with the car off, and then after the headlights have been on for 5 minutes?

 

Try starting with a complete rundown.

Does it start and drive properly?

Are there any warning lights and codes?

Does it have the advanced technology package that was an option on a v5?

Did the head unit issues just show up and were not there when you got it?

How were you tricked? You may not need a lawyer if it was fraud.

If the head unit is it then you can get a used one off of ebay, although the v5 trim had a a couple of options. Knowing what you have and what else may be wrong is key to free help.

 

Do try not to be a total moron here.
IF you didn't want any discussion of how and why you got the car.......or any honest opinions on what you should do next......
you should NOT have mentioned those details.
YOU threw the bait in the water and the fish are biting.
Is this your first day on the Internet ??

 

This doesn't have to be a break-the-bank problem. It sounds like some things are not communicating with some other things on the car's network. There can be complicated expensive reasons but there can also be simple cheap or free reasons and those tend to be more common. Get access to the repair manual (more info) and start working through the troubleshooting steps in the Networking section. They've got charts on where to start looking based on what you can observe on what is and isn't talking to what.

 

Ask Dr. Quest

 

What you describe is outright odometer fraud. Sue the b******.

 

If it drives well and it has no warning lights that is a very positive sign. Almost any hybrid related problem will generate codes. A dealer scan would be my first step although some codes are available with phone apps like Dr Prius and a bluetooth reader. Normal readers typically won't read hybrid codes.

The standard 57011 display is widely available on ebay. It does have navigation and there is an accessory module hanging on the bottom.

But it sounds like you need to resolve the mode buttons first. I would guess they are broken now even though they move freely. Most likely you could get a set of buttons at a salvage yard or the online salvage yard known as ebay.

I would not change the display for the energy screen alone. Usually when they fail, it can't pick up stations, it boots frequently or the nav does not work.

All trim 3 and 5 Prius v's had navigation. Trim 2 did not. You press APPS and then MAP. You can look at the trim differences in my attachment above. For example trim 5 had LED headlights and "Integrated Fog Lights".

A piece of the above trim pdf is shown here.

 

Depends on when the title was made available to you to see —before or after the seller’s verbal representation and receipt of consideration.

 

How do you know the traction battery was replaced? New? Used? Refurbished? Nothing works like a NEW BATTERY Pack....! Not from Green Bean or some other Scam Company.
