    I just traded in my 2008 base model Prius for a 2011 with a JBL system, Nav, & Bluetooth. How can I know if my unit can play DVD movies? It has two drives behind the LCD, but it does not say anything about DVD. I know the maps is supposed to be a DVD and not CD. Is there a way to know for sure? i don't want to put a DVD disk in and it get stuck (it happened to me on a chrysler and I had to take the radio out of the van, open it up to get the disk out).

    Also, does anyone know if it can play music off of a USB stick or only from CDs with MP3 or WMA on it?

    This is the only pic I have of the window sticker before they tossed it on me.

    Only dvd is the navigation. It's not a video player.
    It will play mp3s from CD or thumb.
    IDK about wma.

    Thanks for the reply! I tried out some music this morning on a USB stick, worked great. I wonder what is the max size thumb drive that can be used.
