Tesla screen 3D scan is basically me staring at the Gen 2 Prius MFD opening and laughing because there’s just so much empty space to work with. I’m just sipping my tea.
SOOOOO MUCH ROOM FOR THE TESLA VERTICAL SCREEN.
If you’d like to get the OBJ, download this 3D Scan
For those curious, these are the connectors on my 2009 Prius with JBL.
This just says Gen 2 Prius!
Here are just some additional images I captured.
Here’s what I was going for with this Tesla screen 3D scan: clear fitment zones, visible connector areas, and enough detail that you can plan your next steps without guessing. If you’re doing a screen swap, it helps to check your own gaps the same way I did—dry fit first, then commit. That’s the whole vibe.
Tesla screen 3D scan files and OBJ download
Grab the OBJ from the Google Drive link above, then compare your own bezel plan to these connector shots. I built this set with the Prius community in mind, because I know y’all will actually use the files instead of just staring at them.

Connector references I captured for the Gen 2 Prius MFD
I decided to label and re-capture the connector areas because every time someone says “it’ll just plug in,” it turns into a whole afternoon of “wait, where did that pin go?” The Tesla screen 3D scan makes those locations obvious, and it saves fuel money in the long run because you’re not running back and forth to test-fit :: blushing ::

Extra heads-up: plan the cockpit space before you print
My plan is always the same: measure the empty space first, then design around it. That’s why this Tesla screen 3D scan started with the MFD bare geometry. If you mess up the layout, you end up adding weight and killing MPG without even realizing it—fine for a quick test, terrible for a real drive.
If you’re ordering materials for your DIY mounts, I found these items useful in my workshop workflow while I was sorting out scan outputs and prototypes: Revopoint 5.0 mm reference point markers for 3D scanning and Rubbermaid ActionPacker lockable storage box.
FAQ about Tesla screen 3D scan
What does the Tesla screen 3D scan include?
I included the OBJ data for the bare MFD area, plus connector references from my 2009 Prius with JBL—so you can line everything up before you build your final Tesla screen setup.
Can I use the OBJ even if my setup looks a little different?
Yeah, you can. I’d still dry fit and compare. Tesla screen 3D scan files help you see the fitment geometry, but your harness routing and screen mount details decide the final outcome.
Does this work for other Gen 2 Prius screen builds?
It works best as a starting point for Gen 2 Prius projects. I captured enough “what you’re actually dealing with” info here that you can adapt the design instead of starting from scratch—especially if you care about keeping things clean and not adding unnecessary bulk that hurts MPG.
That’s it from me for this batch. If you build something cool with the Tesla screen 3D scan OBJ, tag the community so we can all learn from it.
