Hi guys I just installed a upgrade center console for the Prius Alpha aka the Prius V. We needed a navigation system which could tell us upcoming speed cameras and also our previous reverse cam jumps back to main page which was annoying. This unit also came with a dash cam for those moments you never hope will happen. We are happy with the unit so far. A few things we are still working out which is the main page icons and equalizer for the best sound performance is still in the work. Here she is! Originaly we wanted a 10 inch floating screen like a model 3, but after careful consideration we went with a 9 inch which could fit nicely in a custom frame. Here is what she looks like turned on. Its a Oct-core with 4GB of ram and 64 GB hard drive for apps.
The only thing I lost was the visual proximity display. I still get the beeps but just no visual display popping up which I use to find a bit distracting before anyways. Radio reception is better and all steering command remains fully functional.
I wish I did print the frame. I think the radio guys got a custom frame which will fit up to 9 inch screen. I am just happy the car is ready and working fine. The next thing to do is put in a Red Bullet. The ECO mode running makes the car feel so heavy, this is just for the baseline before we do the test with the upgrade solenoid. At the moment I do not see any benefit for using the ECO mode on the Prius plus, I am getting around 19.1km/l. At the end of my previous run in normal mode I was just about 20.1km/l. I am really looking forward to use Power mode! If anyone is interested in the frame or the silicone wiper blades I would be happy to hunt for the factory.
