I called the dealership and he reiterated what you said. There it was in the oil change section. Funny, I never noticed that before. Thanks, 210delray.

Bruce,
I just brought my 2002 Prius to Oahu from the mainland. There is no Hawaii map in the nav system. It's got the other states and parts of Canada, but not Hawaii.

I e-mailed Toyota about this issue and got the following response:
 
Currently the navigation system installed on Toyota vehicles includes coverage only for the 48 contiguous United States as well as major metro areas in Canada. Coverage is not available for Alaska or Hawaii. This decision was made for Hawaii because Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. is not the distributor for Toyota vehicles in Hawaii. Before Hawaii became a state, Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan contracted with Servco Pacific, Inc., to sell and service Toyota vehicles in the Territory of Hawaii. This is still the case today.
 
For additional assistance or referrals on possible resolutions we would need to refer you to Servco.
 
We apologize this was not made known to you during the purchase of your vehicle.
 
It is through communications such as yours that we become aware of the reactions and expectations of our customers and have documented your suggestion that such mapping information be made available for the state of Hawaii.
 
Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #111111111111. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

I was aware that the nav system didn't work in Hawaii, but am glad I have it because I may eventually move the car to the mainland. It is too bad because I did enjoy and use this feature when I drove it on the mainland. Also, the nav system takes us a lot of buttons on the dash, so it's a shame it doesn't work in Hawaii.

Plug-in mod coming to some cities by backy

I heard Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak (who drives a Prius, btw) on the radio today talking about how a small number of cities have been approved (by whom I'm not sure) for a pilot program to do plug-in conversions of the Prius. He explained that Minneapolis was initially not on that list, but he talked to the powers-that-be and noted that the other cites on the list don't have a mayor who drives a Prius. Anyway, he was successful in getting Minneapolis added to the list, so in the near future Prius owners will be able to get the plug-in conversion done through Denny Hecker Toyota. Rybak claimed the plug-in mod (which has been done on his Prius) gets it to 70 mpg. He didn't say, but given where he lives and his job, I'd expect most of his driving is on city streets and urban freeways.

Auto lock when driving by angel723

I just got my 2008 Prius and I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Does anyone know if I would have the doors automatically lock by itself when the car starts to accelarates? Thanks in advance!

My son has a 2006 model and there is no autolock feature. My guess is that this hasn't changed for 2008.
