Add/upgrade display audio/entune head unit to C two?

Hey everybody! First time poster here. First, the good news. My dealer tracked me down a silver Prius C for me and got it in over the weekend. No easy feat in my part of the country. It's reserved for me to come check out tomorrow.

Now, the not so good (but not horrible) news... It's a c two. No display audio. No nav. No entune. Wah.

Anyway, what I'm wondering is if it is possible to have the dealer order an OEM isplay audio unit and install it. Obviously it's the same size as the base head unit (and dash configuration across all models) but I'm wondering if Toyota would have the part readily available (given high demand for the c in general) and if the cost would be even remotely reasonable. And, if the part is even available, are there any technical issues that would prevent full use of the system?

I would consider aftermarket, but I see from perusing other threads that a dash kit is unavailable and not thought to be on the horizon either. Plus, with aftermarket, I have concerns about integrating the steering wheel controls, hands free phone, and even the built-in usb/audio jack above the glove box.

Anybody have any insight? Thanks in advance.

 

Oh I know most head units (at least most that I'd want) would have their own USB and audio plugs; I just thought it'd be nice to use the built in one. I don't open my glove box much anyway (unless I'm handing over my license and registration, which probably won't happen too much driving a Prius c!) so I kinda like the location. I guess I could probably run the aftermarket cables to roughly the same spot. Lack of a dash kit is the big issue that makes me worry about aftermarket. I don't really want to take the time (and $$$) to have something fabricated when a $20 plastic part should do the trick and probably will be hit the market eventually. I look forward to seeing how yours turns out!

No insight on an upgrade to the OEM display audio unit? I know it fits, I'm just wondering about other technical issues I might not have thought of, and cost.

 

Thanks to the last three posters for good info and good advice. You guys are absolutely right. I'm just going to have my dealer keep trying to get me a C three. He actually told me this afternoon that he thought he'd be able to get one for me and might know by the end of the day. I guess now that he was able to actually get a C, he is going to have a much easier time trading for a different C with different trim level and options. He said he had to offer two regular priuses (prii? what is the proper plural form??) and a camry just to get somebody to trade him a C. Amazing how in-demand these things are.

Anyway I thank you all for the insight and I hope to report back with good news!

 

All good points! But, in my case, this dealer has won my and my family's business over the years (the wife and I have a 2010 prius ii and a 2007 tacoma at the moment - the family business has 3 priuses and 5 toyota trucks) and he's gone out of his way to earn it again this time. I just received word that he finalized a dealer trade for a Silver Prius C three that is coming right from the distributor and I'm hoping my co-workers don't think it's too weird if I start to do a little bit of a happy dance at my desk right now. I should have my new C by the end of the week!
