    Hey everyone! [​IMG]

    Exciting news! I’ve not only discovered another Toyota model that shares connectors to the back of the MFD/Radio with the Gen 2 Prius, but I also found a company that manufactures these Tesla style screens. I'm currently collaborating with them to make sure that these radios can showcase the diagnostics menu. Even better, since they already have access to the CAN bus from behind the radio, I’m guiding them to code in some extra data points! This means you could soon see vital details like coolant and oil temperatures right on your screen—no OBD2 device needed!

    I’d love your input: what’s one thing you’ve always wanted to see on your Prius display? And quick question—would you prefer a volume knob or just buttons for volume control? The image here shows the units they currently manufacture.

    Oh, and on a un-related note, Power Inverter Wiring Kits for the Prius just arrived this week! If you're planning to install an inverter, this is the inverter wire kit you should use!
    I’ve tested and they work perfectly for high loads, like running an air fryer daily, without the wires overheating. Stay tuned for more updates! [​IMG][​IMG]

    Oh and personally, I like the Tesla style screen with the knobs like the one I used on my blog article.

    BIG NEWS for Gen 2 Prius Owners!

    Well, folks, it looks like I’ve done it! I’ve successfully worked with a manufacturer to produce something game-changing for the Gen 2 Toyota Prius (2004-2009), and any day now, they will be shipping out my test units!

    Introducing the 14.4” Tesla-Style Screen Upgrade!

    This next-level upgrade will completely replace both the upper MFD and lower radio, giving your Prius a modern, high-tech transformation with seamless integration.

    Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
    OEM Reverse Camera Support
    Full Climate Control Integration
    Factory Fit – No Brackets, No Cutting, No Hassle
    Steering Wheel Controls Fully Functional
    Retains OEM USB Ports
    Android 13 System
    360° Panorama Bird’s Eye View Camera System ✅ (Confirmed!)

    Current Developments:
    I’m currently negotiating with the manufacturer to include the side A/C vents in the dashboard bezel, since the original vents are known to be fragile and break easily. I want to solve that problem while upgrading your tech.
    We are finalizing how the hazard light button, clock, and other factory buttons will be seamlessly integrated.
    I’ll be developing a custom interface for live vehicle data—think coolant temperature, hybrid battery details, and more—so your Prius can display critical information Toyota neglected to include.

    I just had to share this with you all mainly because PriusChat but also because as of a week or so ago, I am only a member of one Facebook Gen 2 Prius group. The other group admins have chosen to side with people who slander my name, defame my company, and question my abilities—all without ever doing business with me. The irony, right?

    Well, tough luck for them, because they won’t be experiencing the marvels of my work. For those of you who actually know, get ready… because something BIG is about to land for the Gen 2 Prius community!
