Prius THREE Upgrade to Intelligent Parking System

I doubt about it, to all.
It will not be as easy as you think, and considering you will be able to get all the hardware together, more likely that the vehicle will need a software upgrade to make it operational.

 

i have never read about anyone doing it. we have trouble with home link mirror installs.

 

don't know for sure, but i don't recall anyone ever talking about it.

 

You need to find a 2010 V-AT. It was dropped from the 2011. Some of us played around with it for a bit but it isn't very useful.

Toyota isn't going to absorb the cost for installing parts that aren't going to be used. You may be able to modify a bumper cover to accommodate the sensors but I'd be surprised if you'll be able to plug them in. If the sensors can be plugged into the ECU does the ECU have the programming to interpret the signal? The IPA used the rear camera & the nav screen.

My guess is that any V-AT that needs enough avionics to return functionality to the package will be a total loss.

 

Has anyone made an attempt. It seems that there should be a way to blend used parts or used cars in order to accomplish park assist. I am also wondering if anyone has information on self driving after market systems

 

The cars with parking guidance had a separate ECU, the parking assist ECU. There's an empty space for it in the ECU motel behind the glove box, I think.

The nav unit (at least the 7" screen one) has both a composite video input and a GVIF input. In cars without the parking assist, the backup camera plugs right in to the composite video input of the nav unit. With parking assist, the camera plugs in to the parking ECU's input, and the parking ECU adds its guide lines and such, and sends GVIF video over to the nav unit.

You might be the first one to really try to transplant the system. A lot of the wire harness wires are probably missing and would need to be transplanted also.

 

Oh heck just realized this is a resurrected thread.

@Joeski831 how long have you had the car, and what’s the miles on it?

 

I don't trust these automatic gadgets.
At the most inopportune moment, a stoned pizza delivery guy on a bicycle will jump out from behind you, and if you're distracted, he'll end up under the wheel of a car.

 

4 years it’s got 160,000 miles

 

Thanks. I think you are correct it’s a bit to big of a project

 

Sorry, can’t remember why I asked. Maybe to nag about EGR cleaning.
