When will the current Prius get Entune?

It actually is possible to get an adapter to upgrade an iPod Touch into an iPhone!

 

Have we determined if the head unit can simply be replaced with a newer 2012 Entune one yet? I'd upgrade mine right away if so.

 

I have a Toyota tech I always end up talking to every time I find a bug or problem in the Prius nav. I asked him about upgrading my 2010, and he said "The generation 5 navigation system in your Prius was last used in the 2009 model year Prius and it has different connections/wirings compared with the 2012 Prius navigation system."

That said, I would like to see some tech docs on my current system and the new one and see what they look like. A conversion kit would be nice, if it still physically would fit.

(I previously got escalated to this Toyota tech when I was complaining about Bluetooth issues in either my 2005 or 2007 model Prius. They had the unit swapped out, which didn't do a thing to resolve the bug. Most recently, I reported an issue in my 2010 where the Bluetooth audio pop up would never go away, obscuring the top 1/4th of the screen. They couldn't reproduce, but I finally figured out what causes it. Playing audio in normal speed makes it behave like it should, but if you use Bluetooth and play a podcast at, say, 1.5X speed, it somehow confuses the unit and the pop up stays.)

I sure hope the Entune system is less buggy. Over the past 7+ years driving three different Prius, I have found a number of minor but annoying bugs in the system. (There was even one where it would forget certain settings if you went through screens in a certain order. Fun!)
