Hello, I am contemplating a 2006 Package #1. I read that Package #1 MFD is different (older analog style) compared to all other 2006 MFDs? Is this true, or how can I verfiy if it is new vs. old MFD? Here's the text from the hybridinterfaces.ca website that concerns me: "They also do not work on the 2006 Prius (except the very basic model with the old screen)." Any ideas? I don't want an old-school MFD, know what I mean?
Navi would be nice but I am looking for cheap model. It's Package#1 or the 2006 HCH. Pinehurst, NC. Looking at Package #1 Black.
nothing wrong with the 05 screens IMO. of course newer always seems nicer though. good luck with your search. i know the pkg 1's are out there. and you're always welcome to head up to the triangle area for a club meeting. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/trianglepriusclub
My belief is that if the package has the backup camera, you have the newer, higher-resolution MFD. I have a package 3, with camera, with new screen, but the manual does show a more basic MFD, probably the one on a Package #1 without the camera. But, as someone else said, that doesn't necessarily make it "bad", its probably the same display the 2004-2005 models used.
