I'd like to set up the 5 quick buttons on the Nav system to search for the nearest "Sears" or "Costco".. or "Hospital".. is there a way to do this? I can see how to set it up to search for a specific place I have already programmed, but the above would allow for a more borad search and be dependent on where you are. If I was in LA, it would tell me the closest Hospital to my location, the same if I was in San Jose.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I live in a very dynamic area .New stores and store-closings all the time...
I have bought many cars from this dealer over a 25 year period and taken them to that dealer for service. I am anxious to see how far good will goes. Also, a few of my friends purchased a Prius after hearing my story and riding in mine. Another problem I have had is two recalls and a break down on the highway - I just lost power all together. I was fortunate enough to be less than a mile from a dealer - made it there on the gas engine with little power. He had the car for two days - no offer of a loaner. Said it had to be reprogramed and that was it.
I thought it was unusual when my dash dimmed whenever I turned my headlights on, but the dealer told me that was normal. However, I don't think it is normal for my dash to completely go black when my headlights are on...has anyone else had this problem and can you tell me what it took to fix it? I can't keep from driving in the dark forever : ). I have a 2006 Prius.
Thanks
Is this normal ? I am not buying from a Toyota dealer, so I've got no satisfaction calling them and the used car dealer has no clue. I am purchasing the car in Canada, but it was imported from the US, so had a modification to give it daylight running lights as per Canadian regs. ( Can't believe this is not required in US ). Could this be the problem ?
If I have an issue with the display, is it a major expense - some of the earlier posts on '04 screens scared me. I'm looking forward to owning a Prius, but this issue worries me.
Also, I was not aware that the car did not have day time running lights. I thought this was pretty much standard on all new vehicles. Is this a special option or is it totally unavailable on this vehicle ??
Others can correct me if I'm wrong on support for the doors. I think www.homelink.com has more information on supported openers (I see it mentions Craftsman, but I haven't gotten ours to work.
I'm new at this forum and I'm planning on buying a 2000 used prius, I am in Kenya, East Africa and most of the used cars come from Japan, it was ok with the older versions but with the Prius it has a dashboard touch screen, only problem is, it's in Japanese.
Is there a way to change the language? Maybe a chip chane? Or is it possible to purchase a whole new screen? Anyone faced with this problem before?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
I have a June 04 Prius which has done just 28,800 miles. How did you get on with your Display unit problem?.........suirp.........from........JS.
I still have not bought the car, going to view it today with the mechanic. The screen works fine on this car but it's all in japanese so can't understand a thing, and not sure how important is the info on the screen. 3500 for a replacement is way up there! 1500 for a recon is pretty high too. I heard that there is a special cable that lets you program the screen to another language, but that's a rumor for now.
Good luck.
Thanks!

Thanks!

In my last car I had to push the pick up button and expect to do the same. Since the screen does not show me who is calling or the number I do not want tp pick up until I have an idea who is on the line. I'm not given that chance it just plain picks up and I cannot finr in the settings anywhere how to change this.
can anybody help? Thank you!
Jim
Just be assured, it can work as you want it do. Just look around for the settings.
If you can not find the setting, or there is soimething different with your car, I'd head back down to the dealer, and try another Prius on the lot - just to test that car. You don't need to test drive it, just sit in the lot and test it.
Good luck.

Thanks! :confuse:
I do wonder if anyone has experienced the following:
After pressing the power button, the car starts...the screen turns on, I can drive the car, however, there is no information on the dash, none of the "dummy" lights work, with the exception of the passenger air bag lights. the screen does not turn to the camera when I put the car in reverse. Anyone else had this happen? This has happened to me twice...the first time, the car would not even shut off...finally, I decided to try the computer technique and held the Start button for several seconds and, oddly enough, it did turn off and then when I turned it back on, everything was OK. Just recently, I drove 13 hours then the car sat in cold wather for a couple of days. Same thing, only this time, it WOULD shut off. I was driving to a dealer to have them look at it and it all turned on. I had even let the car run for a while to warm up in the cold weather.
I asked the service tech about it when I took it in for service and they didn't know...just said to bring it in the next time it happened....well, I was 13 hours away this last time. I'm just worried it is an electrical problem....no matter how cold, that should work.
Thanks!
and I would estimate it happens about 10 times or so.
I have the same problem with the instrument panels being off when the car
is started. The car runs fine. I just don't know how fast I am going.
Occasionally, I would not be able to power it off. The instrument panels will always
come back on after 15-25 minutes of driving. I would then have no problem
turning off the engine.
I went in to the dealer a couple of times already but both times they
couldn't trace the problem with the instrument panel working. I was
finally able to show the service manager with the instrument panel not
working and the car couldn't be turned off yesterday. I was then told to leave the
car and was told that it could take them 2-5 days to try to re-create
and debug the problem. I live in Ottawa, Canada and am currently
enduring a 5 weeks old bus strike. Since I only have 1 car, I told them
I couldn't leave them the car for up to a week unless I get a loaner.
No loaner was offered.
I then called Toyota Canada and explained the problem to them.
I got a call today from the dealer to go it to have them read the codes from
the micro-processors. It took them 10 minutes and the codes were
clean. The service manager told me to bring the car in next time
the instrument panel is off and they would read the codes to see
what happens.
I will update if they find anything.
In my case, I don't think it's related to the cold weather. We had
-30C both yesterday morning and this morning and the instrument
panel was working fine.
They then kept the car for 3 days running tests and ended up
replacing the combination meter.
We have had the new combination meter for about 1 month and haven't
had any problem since.
Haven't requested Nav update download either.
Have had no experience in this area: 87k and running strong with no computer issues.
are you still working for Toyota?
My wife and I have an '08 Prius and are looking at purchasing a very low mileage '05 Prius.
Are there any "issues" with the '05 that we should be aware of??
I tried to send you a private email for this question, but you are listed as private so I am posting it here in hopes that you see it.
For the rest of you please forgive the off-topic post, but I would be very interested in any comments that folks have on the '05 models with Nav!
