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

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.
