Replying to: seeko (Sep 25, 2006 11:13 am) Toyota customer service. I have a 06 Prius and HH Limited. My Prius has the newest version of the software and hardware: I wanted that in both cars. They are not interchange able. The Prius system is the most advanced one. And there is a difference between the to systems. I was told the next generation Highland will have the system in the Prius. I was also told that the HH will have an update coming out this winter but it will not have the same type features as the Prius version. I believe HH has a ver 4.2 and the Prius had a ver 5. I have not looked at this info since early June so I could be wrong on the exact version but they are deffinetly different. But like I said the hardware is not compatible to just install the dvd for the change.

Replying to: seeko (Sep 27, 2006 12:33 pm) Occasionall on the Energy Monitor Screen the battery instead of displaying blue stripes, it displays green stripes all the way to the top of the battery. Again, this happens only very occasionally. Can anyone give mw some info of what this means?

Why does the Prius have disc brakes in the front and drums in the back? Is it a matter of expense?

Replying to: seroq (Sep 30, 2006 7:56 pm) At any rate, drums are fine for rear wheels. Only 10-20% of braking is done by the rear wheels (unless you are backing up, but you don't do that at speed). 10% is the usually accepted figure. The only advantage to rear discs is they could be less prone to locking. With built in antilock this shouldn't be an issue. |

Replying to: backy (Oct 02, 2006 12:57 pm) If posed to the typical 40-55 mph commuter would you pay extra for disks on the back? The answer would likely be, 'No, why?' I've driven 500,000 miles over the last 20 yrs or so and never even considered the need for rear disks. Other markets have differing 'needs' which may or may not be valid. By my experiences in my driving they offer no added value to a vehicle.
