Does the 2003 Toyota Prius have a gps installed into the dash?

Published on: December 31, 2011

I am pondering of getting the 2003 Toyota Prius and questioning if it has a gps navigation system put in in the dashboard.

Answer by JerryJ
Some do and some don’t. All have the buttons, but unless of course you can press the button and the GPS comes up, then that particular auto does not. If the automobile you’re considering of buying doesn’t have it, it really is nearly unattainable to add a factory one particular since the wiring harness is diverse, so the price becomes prohibitive.

Even so, you can get a kit that allows a GPS, among other points, to be displayed on the Prius’ display from http://coastaletech.com/viewtech.htm

Solution by Michael
They look to be a fairly uncommon accessory in the initial generation (2001-2003). As JerryJ points out it is not practical to retrofit the factory GPS but is practical to adapt other devices.

I don’t have 1 but I have heard a lot of dissatisfaction (or at least disappointment) with the constructed-in technique. The efficiency is decent enough and the in-dash show is nice, but adjustments can not typically be entered even though moving, even by the passenger. Update discs are expensive ($ 250, the final I heard). Aftermarket GPS units are not as beautifully integrated but you can decide on the features you want and passengers can search for gas stations and restaurants whilst driving.

I was initially going to buy the Hyundai Elantra due to price effectiveness, but many recommend that I get the Toyota and I will be going to the dealer this weekend.

I know the base line MSRPS for all around 23K, but if I desired a blue tooth feature, how much could I bargain down? Given that Toyota had the recall, do you believe they would be a lot more recpetive to reduce prices? How much must I pay for a Toyota Prius II?

My 2000 Toyota Camry is making a deep groaning sound when accelerating, specially in middle RPM’s. It appears to get louder if I drive it longer. It by no means used to be this loud up right up until lately. Any tips if this could be significant or what it could be?

Solution by SuperDQ
Could be that you are running reduced on transmission fluid. Or that your fan belt requirements to be repaired, but that’d be more linked with a substantial pitched sound.
Anyway, yeah, I feel you’re out of transmission fluid.

Answer by tallntrue56
does it appear to be connected to engine speed? or the speed of the car?
if engine speed connected it could be a waterpump bearing or a timing belt idler. if vehicle speed related, it would be a frt axle bearing—try turning and shifting the weight to the left and rt although driving get louder? or quieter? any play in the wheels? the 4 cylinder has a separate differential fluid chamber–is there fluid in the differential?–it difficult to check with out a hoist as the fill plug is on the back cover and most oil adjust locations neglect to verify the degree. It could be significant, so dont delay acquiring it checked..the side of the highway is not in which you want to have to perform on your auto. very good luck. T&T

All you have to do is when you put your automobile into D, just place the shift lever to the left, from there on, you are manually controlling the gears and gear altering, (variety of like a manual but without having the clutch, the personal computer takes care of the clutch for you).

+ is for upshift, – is for downshift, to be safe, you should upshift when your RPMs hit close to 3000.

Can a navigation system on a 2002 Toyota Prius be activated?

Categories: Toyota Prius
Published on: December 19, 2011

I would like to activate the navigation technique in my 2002 Toyota Prius and was wondering if that is feasible to do via a dealer or on-line? Also about how much does the navigation technique cost per month? If it is even feasible to activate it at this point.

Solution by pinball_fan
All 2001-2003 model year Prius have individuals buttons on the dashboard, regardless of no matter whether they really have the navigation program set up. If you have the navigation program, then the buttons operate otherwise, they don’t (you get a message that says some thing like “external technique not linked”). The navigation program was about a $ 2100 solution on those cars, and you’re missing several elements: The DVD unit below the correct front seat, a cabling harness, and the GPS antenna buried inside the dashboard. Equipping your car is achievable, but enormously costly due to the big amount of labor involved in ripping-apart virtually every thing inside the dashboard to place the GPS antenna correctly (and then placing it all back together again). You may be dollars ahead by just getting an aftermarket navigation system for a little fraction of the value and sticking it onto your windshield.
