This is an intermittent problem.
Case 1) Start car, MFD is blank or shows INFO page with no data. For example, the external temperature is blank.
Case 2) With an empty display, select any button next to the display, display responds, "Display not connected."

Is there someplace in the engine compartment where the MFD cable passes through the firewall? Wouldn't that also be a place where the cable could become stressed? (2004 Prius)
