I am wanting to do the same. The quoted $5,000 price for the nav computer is a joke. (Almost as bad as the $300 for a replacement key and remote.) WHY, do they charge 1000% mark-up on these.
The Nav computer doesn't cost them more than $430 to manufacture. Just as the keys and remote do not cost more than $30.
*blargh*
ea8631, you say you were able to find a computer and GPS antenna for $800 Candadian from a junk-yard. That's what I am thinking of doing.
The thing that is so so stupid. Is that the Prius has all the buttons for the nav system. So you are constantly, hitting these buttons only to be told half of the buttons on the console do jack. It's annoying.
It's like, okay, I know one of these buttons SHOULD switch between the two display modes (engine/hybrid operations and fuel efficiency monitor) but none of the one's I've tried do so. They simply inform me that the GPS external unit is not connected.
Can we say some really dumb stupid people came up with this setup?
