In-Dash Touch Screen Unit

[black_prius]

New to toyota owners club... so hello!

Recently bought a 2007 T prius T-Spirit.. But unfortunately the touch screen on it is tempremental, looks like someone has given it a bash... so it does not work, and the headache with this as all the controls are on the touch screen (climate, map, phone etc)...

Anyways, recently bought a second hand unit off of eBay, just the screen module, and now need someone to fit it in.. It looks like a big job as it sits under the dash, so im worried the whole dash will need to be taken up...

I was initially planning on doing it myself, as the connectors for the screen seemed pretty straight forward but now having had a closer look i dont want to mess about with it.. Would rather get a professional to do it.

I was wondering if anyone on here knew a specialist who can do such a job, or even someone who has experiance in this field. Toyota dont want to know as the the replacement unit is secondhand, and they only fit an install parts bought new from them...

If anyone can help please post!

Thanks

Max

This has been done many a time over in america, its worth scanning their forums. The screen should come as a whole with the dash binacle I believe. Its also worth making sure you have the correct screen. The T spirit has a higher resolution screen due to reversing camera and sat nav. From what i've seen it doesnt look too difficult to replace.

Pop over to the Prius Chat forums and have a look under Gen2 Audio and Electronics.
