XLE 8 inch to 12.3 inch infotainment swap?

Perhaps get the JBL amplifier and speakers as well?

My 2021 Prius Prime Limited 19" screen has an orange JBL label on its lower frame. My 2020 Prius Prime XLE 19" screen did not have it. So, they are probably different in more than just a label as well.

 

Thank you!

The head unit was about $1500 after taxes. I have the Prius LE

 

It isnt that easy, since if you do that youd need to get the wiring harness to connect the headunit to the amp as well. Which means, changing out the whole interior wiring harness since they are all connected together. Doing this method would cost a lot of money, for marginally better audio.

hmm well this proves that they will probably be different head units then.

 

I'm still in shock at the retail list price for the 12" screen. I have the 12" screen in my limited, and it is very nice, but good grief!

 

Right?! Absolutely insane. It's probably $5 in parts for them to make them hahaha

 

NEW INFO:

Went to Toyota Parts center while doing an oil change I got the part numbers!

12.3” equipped in the Prius Limited is
86100-47860

12.3” equipped in the Prius XLE is
86100-47850

 

It has come down. I recall that it was about $4k for the unit in an earlier version of the Prius...

 

They are still pretty expensive

 

Hello Ryan-sorry to resurrect an old conversation. Do you know if there is a height difference in the 8 and 12.3 inch displays shells (the latter appears wider and has more screen area (less borders)) but physical height-wise are they the same? (or different) BTW I am referring to the overall shell plastic not the viewable screen itself... Thanks!

 

It is going to be a lot cheaper and more practical to trade in the car for one with the features you want. That's why I've traded in my 2020 XLE PHEV for a 2021 Limited PHEV. I've upgraded from silver to blue, too!

 

I don't like the 12" screen's volume knob on the passenger's side. Also, the bigger the screen the more electricity it will drain and too big & too distracting at night. I like the minimalist look of the 8" screen better.

 

The 8" screen is pretty big as well. When I sat in a Gen 5 XSE at the dealer showroom while waiting for an oil change, I thought the screen was the huge 12.3" screen until I posted a pic here and someone pointed out that it was the 8" screen. There is practically no difference in functionality between them either.

 

This is a large reason I went for the extended warranty. If either of the screens fail it's not going to be a cheap replacement, even used. I know used prices will go down a little as stock builds from wrecked prius' but still, it's probably not gonna drop south of $700.

When I searched for the OEM 8” screen it was listed at $4500 unless I had the wrong part.

 

It is not even sold:

The engine is only $4,000:

It looks like the smaller display is missing a connector (PVM?) and draws more current.

I understand these parts can sometimes be ordered on EBay. I don’t have much luck with used electronics so was referring to new. This Toyota part number matches what another member listed as well. I have screenshots from two websites posted here. Fortunately I don’t need one but I was curious.

 

Does anyone know if the height of the unit (assembled in vehicle) from the base to the top is the same on both the 8 and 12.3 versions? They appear the same but I can't tell for sure. Cross-car, they definitely have profile differences (more upright left edge and less sloped right edge for the 12.3). For clarification, I am referring to the plastic housing itself. Thanks.
