I recently purchase a 2008 package 6 toyota prius. It has a DVD Nav system, but when you put in a dvd to play, it will not read it. Now, i know there are hacks, but when you hack your nav system, doesnt that void your warranty? What are my options?Can You Play Dvds in a 2008 toyota prius without voiding the warranty?The "DVD" part of the "DVD Navigation system" is that the navigation system reads its maps and other database information off of a DVD, as opposed to a bunch of CDs or a hard drive.
The navigation system does not have an MPEG decoder, so it cannot play movie DVDs. The navigation system can only read DVDs with the proprietary navigation software/database information on it.
If you wish to watch DVD movies in your Prius, then you will either have to:
1. Purchase a portable DVD player
2. Purchase a laptop with a DVD drive and appropriate movie-watching software
(These first two options will not void your warranty.)
3. Purchase a 3rd party in-car DVD system with additional screens (most commonly mounted in the back of the front seats/headrests, or a flip-down screen from the roof) (This will only void your warranty on the components that you have mounted/connected things to them.)
4. Modify your Prius to add a video-input to display to the existing MFD. (This will only void your warranty on the components that you have mounted/connected things to them.)

Do note to check with your state/local laws regarding having a television screen viewable by the driver while moving, however...Can You Play Dvds in a 2008 toyota prius without voiding the warranty?laptop
