New owner needs help!

cemax12000 · 03-10-2007, 06:27 PM

Is there any way to set the language as English on this screen? I am tired of always having to set it, then accepting it when I start the vehicle. I cannot believe every Prius owner has to go thru this when they start theirs.
After reading this forum, I was able to shut the reverse"beeping" off and hope I can dot the same for this.

It's not so much having to pick English, it's the I Agree that is important to Toyota's lawyers. This annoyance is the reason for the LockPick (search for that). It can not easily be defeated. Toyota doesn't want to be responsible if you have an accident while looking at the screen.

Ha! yes, only push "I Agree." The Lexus and Toyota training videos actually tell you to select a language and then push "I Agree," but if it looks like it's in a language you can understand, don't worry about selecting a language again
