Replying to: joannabob (Sep 01, 2008 5:04 am) My windshield glass had to be replaced and the Toyota Parts Department gave me a price of $1,000.00. I laughed, too. The total cost at a glass replacement store near by was $185.00 including the installment. I drive a 2008 Touring PK6 and should of have bought a PKG 4. The navigation system was a waste of money. I sometimes need to go to map quest to get a second opinion for locating addresses. Leather well... it was my first car with leather seats. PRUSA

#23 of 30 Does Version 7.1 Provide a Nightime Screen? by agdoc1 Oct 17, 2008 (7:24 pm)
I just finished a 1650 mile trip. A significant portion of that was in rainy darkness on roads which the GPS system selected rather than the ones I normally would have chosen.   I was not able to have the map display showing when it was rainy and dark because it only has a bright Daytime display. The instruction manual says it should automatically switch to Night mode when the headlights go on. It does not. The software says that if I want to have running lights on during the day I can select that option from a software button on the display screen. That button does not exist.   I called Toyota national help number while I was out of town but all the highest level help they could give was to say I read the manual correctly and they would forward a case number to my dealership for when I got home.; I got home and was told "come back tomorrow" as early as you can because this will take our highest level tech to sort out. So I have to get up at 7 AM Saturday and take my car in to see what happens.   Anyone else note the absence of a Nighttime Screen on version 7.1?   P.S. What is with the habit it has of making you go in circles? Some roads I have traveled for 50 years and it wants to divert blocks out of the way and back again when the highway signs through small downtown areas take you straight ahead and Always Have.

Replying to: agdoc1 (Oct 17, 2008 7:24 pm) Do you have your instrument panel lights turned up to maximum?   That will cause the screen to remain in the daytime mode.
#25 of 30 Night mode by Wool948 Jan 13, 2009 (7:22 am)
I accidently set my nav. screen to day mode, which is memorized in the system, I'm having a tough time getting back to nightmode. Does anyone one out there knows how to do that. Much appreciated. Replies to this message: agdoc1 (Jan 13, 2009 1:58 pm) Wool948 (Jan 13, 2009 5:03 pm)

Replying to: Wool948 (Jan 13, 2009 7:22 am) Day mode is can be set by having your headlights on and having the dash lights turned all the way up to maximum. It is intended for driving with the lights on in the day. If you turn your dashboard light intensity down it assumes you are driving at night and switches to night mode.   If you have the dash light thumbwheel turned all the way up and clicked into maximum it removes the "daylight mode" from your screen options when using the navigation controls.   That's the only problem.

Replying to: valleygirl2 (May 10, 2008 7:59 am) Have you tried changing your area/region? Which state do you live in?   When you press the DEST (Destination) button, you'll see a United States map on the right with the label "Search Area". Make sure that your region is highlighted.   If not, touch the "Change" area on the screen. Touch the region you live in, one of "US1" through "US10" and "CAN". Touch the "OK" area and the Destination screen will display again.   Now, try looking for your home address.   I've had this problem when I first got my Prius. It's a little annoying compared to the more annoying "feature" where they decided we cannot operate the GPS while in motion (except through voice which has limited capabilities).   Note: If you are looking for areas beyond the region you are in, you would need to change it first as described above, then enter the address or POI again.   Cheers! ^_^

How do I get this updated and how much does it cost?

One of my keys has quit working. I think it needs a batter. Can that be changed and do I do that at the dealer or can I do it myself?
