**Perform these taps in rapid sequence. Do not be tentative or it might not work.

4)The Service Menu should appear.

5)Press and hold the OVERRIDE soft button until it beeps and is highlighted.

Full NAV function should now be available until you shut down the car. This can be engaged while in motion but must be repeated each time the car is restarted.

Be cautious experimenting within the Service Menu as you could cause yourself some problems with your Prius is you push the wrong combination of buttons.

I followed the above instruction and was never able to get into the Service Menu. I have successfully used the Hack that gets you to the diagnostic menu but not this highly desired one to override the motion lockout. I have a 2006 prius, is there a different hack for it???

I believe it was earlier noted that you cannot do it in the 2006+ models.

Is there a hack to display the interior temperature? The auto AC setting needs to know. I'd like to be able to see it on the MFD. Any help would be appreciated.

Anybody know how to get the Nav. unlock to work on an 2008 Prius. The one's listed seem to work on the previous version Nav's, not the upgraded 2008 version.

Webmaster: How about making a folder file on the tool bar for holding a file for Hacks, and TSBs? That way there is no need to ask or search?

About to get an 08 Prius and would love to know if a hack exist for the 08 to use the Nav while driving. Any update on this?

No hacks found for my new 2008 Prius with nav ver 7.1. Do NOT buy the CoastalETech Basic Lockpick 3 for this purpose. IT WILL NOT WORK.

I have a new 2008 my self.
The only things I have found to work as a easter-egg/soft hack are the following:
1) Disable/Enable reverse Beep
2) Diag Menu (while car is on, hold the INFO button and turn light on and off three times)

Chris,
Which Dialogue Menu? Can you explain which light you turn on and off three times?

Hold the info button and turn your headlights on and off three times...

When I did it my lights began in the on position and my fog lights were on the whole time.
