I have an 06 with the nav package, the software version is "ver.05.1", I
cannot access the program menu while moving and the override tweak doesn't
work,I wonder what software version you all have?
My 06 was made in china, I have installed the ev mode switch and xm radio,
got them from coastal electronics :), from weathertech I installed rubber
mats and vent shades, I do my own maintained, red line synthetic oil, 45.4
mpg pretty consistently,I am on the hunt for an aftermarket gel battery, I
am dealing with:

(The U1 40 Ah is out of stock until late August and it wouldn't have
automotive terminals on it. Look at the 12 volt 50 Ah (UB12500), if you can
fit that and work with standard nut and bolt terminals, that would give you
the most power. Its just a hair bigger then the U1.

There's an override tweak for 04 and 05 models? I somehow missed
reading about that, unless you're talking about that $99 electronic
doohickey I've considered buying.

Ahh, now we are getting to the heart of the problem, Michelle,I believe that
the tweak is only available on the 06 model, and hence I am asking what
version of navigation software others have. My wife is in an 06 tundra and
the navigation tweak works in it, and she has version ("05.2", I am guessing
from memory), truck isn't here at the moment,:)

Really? What's the first digit and the 11th digit of your VIN?

My understanding of the Chinese plant was that they were only selling
their produced Prius to the Chinese market only. AFAIK all Prius sold
otherwise are produced out of one of 2 plants in Japan.


Anyhow, Menu>Map DVD will only tell you the database version. It
doesn't tell you the version of the navigation system. The 2006 Prius
has a newer navigation system than was on the 2004-2005 Prius, which
was different than what was on the 2002-2003 Prius (and maybe also the
2001 Prius).

The navigation system that is on the 2004-2005 Prius has, in some
hidden screens, a way to temporarily disable the greying out of buttons
while moving. This button sequence doesn't work on the 2006 Prius, as
the 2006 Prius supposedly has a way of entering in data using voice
activation while moving.

Thanks, Michelle! I guess this, like most procedures, can become habit
after you've done it a while. I'm less tempted to spend the 99 bucks
now.
