    OK, I understand you can override the motion sensor.

    But what major mods can be done?
    Can you play video through it?
    Can you update different map software (somehow)?

    Removing it completely from the dash and replacing it with a third-party unit.
    After the above mod, yes.

    Remove it, sell it for 1.5K, and replace it for 1/2 that, then get map upgrades, DVD, and the ability to change address on the fly...

    Fair point.
    But would people buy a specific Toyota unit?

    Actually just realised you would lose the reverse self-parking feature by doing this

    I put a sun shade over mine, made it a lot more user friendly.

    You can update to newer maps, once a year, but it is pricey.

    Hello,

    At this time the 2010 Prius is not on our approved list of vehicles for any of the lockpciks that we offer. I would check back with us within the next few months.
