Hi all, new to the Prius world, looking for some advice on replacing the MFD that came with my car. I know my MFD is a 86110-47080 and the touchscreen stopped responding. My Prius is a 2004 base model from Canada. I've seen the posts to reflow the 3 pins that are common to break apart but found an 86110-47081 MFD online for cheap so I purchased it. When I got it in the mail, it turns out that it was mislabeled and is actually an 86110-47230. I was about to return it, but before I do I just wanted to know if anyone here knows if it'll work properly as a replacement so I don't have to take apart my dash again to try it. Thanks for your help!
Yes, the harnesses are different, but the signals are the same--it is possible to use a newer Gen 2 MFD in an older Gen 2, if you move the wires in the connector. I got my 2004 used from Miami. The sun and heat had caused the screen coating to bubble and I replaced my base MFD with one from a 2004 with navigation, and that was plug and play, I just had extra (useless) buttons. Then I started to think about adding a rear-view camera. So I got a 2006 (and later a 2008) with the cut plugs from a wrecker, to experiment. I got my hands on the wiring diagrams a created a cross-reference for the wires and just moved the wires in my existing harness. They all work. (I suspect the 2004 will work in the later Gen 2s also.) See: Will 86110-47230 work instead of 86110-47081 in 2005 Base Model? | PriusChat
