Compatible Prius Navigation DVDs

Hey folks,

I've just spent an absurd amount of time on this site, with Professor Google, the Yahoo Prius 2G Group, EBay, and various Toyota groups trying to figure out precisely which DVDs are compatible with our Prius. I've found contradictory charts, disagreement on whether my particular Prius is even 3rd or 4th generation, a Lexus internet dealer doing a brisk business in deceit, a seamy underworld of torrents and dark alleys, and general confusion and mayhem.

Could you do me a favor? Just pop out your nav DVD and post the particulars in this thread. That way those of us who don't need version 7.1 but would still like a used upgrade won't have to repeat my aggravation. I'll continue to edit this message with the most current information. (If I am just duplicating something that is readily available somewhere, could someone point me in the right direction?)

Compatable DVDs:

Prius Year; DVD Part #; Data Version; (and just for the heck of it) the obscure codes at the 2 o'clock position on your DVD

2004-2005; 5-464210-018; 4.2; W41 D
2004-2005; 86271-33044; 4.2; W41 D
2004-2005; 86271-33045; 5.1; U20 D
2004-2005; unknown; 6.1;
2004-2005; 86271-33047; 7.1;
2006-2008; unknown; 5.1;
2006-2008; 86271-53021; 6.1; U31 D
2006-2008; unknown; 7.1;

 

That's my understanding too, tkil. However, I am hoping to not overthink this, and just compile a list of DVDs "that work." We've got a 4.2. How about a 5.1, 6.1, 7.1. Anyone?

 

Hi A, I have been trying to find a used DVD to upgrade my nav system. If you search around, you will find some conflicting compatibility claims, especially on EBay, and even with some Lexus dealers. And, of course, everyone states "absolutely no returns." I am merely trying to compile a definitive list of DVD's that definitely ARE compitible with our Prius systems. This shouldn't be too difficult. I suspect we are not talking about more than a dozen part number/data version combinations.

 

Not quite sure if you're pulling our legs or not, but the answer is "no!"

 

Thanks dervatl,

Just a few more contributions, years and data versions, and future used DVD shoppers can sleep at night, knowing their "no returns!" DVDs will work.

Sorry to be a pain, but is there any chance that a 2004-2005 owner with version 6.1 or 7.1 could post their part number? It's pretty easy to check the DVD under the driver's seat. Some of us earlier Nav system owners are ready for an upgrade, but prefer to go used. Thanks!

Karl

 

Thanks again, Darryl,

Okay, a pattern's emerging. I assume the 6.1 version will have a part number of 86271-33046. Off to EBay!

I just picked up a "used" 7.1 for $79 on EBay. The guy has oodles of good feedback and seems to specialize in nav upgrades. The photo looks like an OEM disk. Caveat Emptor. The Toyota price is absurd.
