2008 or 2009 Display Unit on 2005 Possible?

Here's a link for the rain guards. I'm not sure where you could get the (wind/stone/bug?) deflector for the hood.

There are two types of MFDs (low res and high res) but several different model numbers, depending on OEM car options. I may be wrong on this, but I seem to remember the low res was used for 2004/05 models and in later models without navigation/camera. The high res models were used in models with backup cameras. Like I said, I may be a little off on that, but what I can guarantee is that the high res and low res models get power on different pins at the back of the unit. So that means the pin outs are different between models. If you find the schematics for whichever models you plan to swap, you could probably swap the wires around so they match up. Or you may just end up smoking the mfd.

 

My ? is : Can you use the low res display from an 06-09 on on 05 . or will pins need reconfigure ?

 

The low res model was the 86110-47081 and it was later superseded by the 86110-47081-C0. As far as I'm aware, the -C0 is still the current OEM replacement and can be used in any 04-09 that used a 47081 model. I'm not 100% certain if there were other low res models.

 

do u think it would be possible to plop this into a non-oem nav car .. or does a NON NAV OEM car not have the proper connectors to make the connection to a NAV unit ? (such as this one) 2006-2009 Toyota Prius MFD Display Screen W/ Camera & Navigation 86110-48391 | eBay

{I just realized it says 06-09 ... mine is an 05 .... ----- }

 

So that brings up another possibility. The speaker you mention is only included in the models that had the 9(?) speaker JBL system installed. I think that uses it's own model # mfd. How many buttons are on your display? 4 or 7?

The speaker may be rattling due to the mounting fasteners coming loose. I saw that in a 2007 dash I disassembled.

 

i got a used one on ebay from the same year .. does that sound like it's going to fix my problem ? (problem: display is too dim during day .. is 'ok ' at nighttime)

 

My recommendation for anyone replacing an MFD is to remove the current one to get the model number that's printed on the back. Purchase the exact same model number to ensure the new MFD will work properly with your car. There are different model numbers of mfds, and they're all slightly different based on package options on the car when new.

 

mine is a package 5 .. i am the 2nd owner .. have original sticker has 6CD/tape JBL speaker .. leather seats .. 'aluminum 15" wheels'

 

the 86110-47081 unit has 3 connectors on back .. from watching the video of the woman doing a replacement on her 06 or newer model, it appears the '06 model (higher res replacement ) has 4 connectors on back so .. i doubt a newer unit will work in an older car ..(04-05)

 

sorry to wake an old thread

I have owned and wrecked a lot of gen2 base model cars 2005 - 2008, recently picked up an 09 (base model) which has a few final updates or finishing touches that the other cars didnt have, most obvious thing is a more fluorescent look to the mfd, colours are definitely way brighter and just different to all the others that i have owned, maybe its just an 09 thing?
