    Is it possible to reprogram the processor that controls the Prius display. Seems like the display is pretty lame. Many other parameters could be displayed. Is the processor an FPGA by chance? Anyo0ne know?

    I would think that Toyota would protect that proprietary firmware very well. If it is possible somebody here at PriusChat has done it.

    How about a ScanGaugeII to show you 4 more parameters. That is what I have in my Prius v (wagon).

    If you have a 2005 Prius Gen II as your profile says, then you could try PriiDash (and you are in the wrong forum).
