    Hi Folks,

    We have a 2015 Prius V/5. According to my research on used parts, the critical information is the 7th and 8th characters of the VIN and the number on the unit face. Those are EU and 510056.

    I have to replace the info/radio because the digitizer has gone bad.

    What I am wondering, is whether or not I can upgrade it to an OEM unit with GPS, and if so, how do I find which exact OEM unit is compatible with my vehicle.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    The 2012 v Five carries the 57011 HD with AM FM SAT AUDIO with Siamesed YY050 extension box for MAPS GPS NAV and APPS. Option was the JBL head unit. Believe those ro have been used through model year 2015.

    The YY050 extension boxes are progressively failing due to cracked solder joints and warped PC boards, Find the latesr production date you can. Our 2011 dated unit started to fail in late 2023. Replaced it with a 2014 production unit and hope to get another few years use.
