Each time I say "phone" the voice command system activates "Satellite Radio". These don't sound remotely close, but it happens consistently. It's very frustrating especially when it is the only way to access phone numbers not in the recent contacts list while driving.

I've tried altering my voice level, I've changed it to "Telephone", I've just used the "F" sound....but 9 out of 10 times I get "Satellite Radio".

Has anyone had this problem?

I'd love to see pics of users who have aftermarket stereos in a gen III (2010).

I personally don't need a DVD or GPS for my car. I simply want BT calling and Iphone/Ipod capabilities. I'm just concerned about the head unit will change the aesthetic of the dash.

Any pics, tips would be appreciated. ]]> Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics trees http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72214-aftermarket-radios.html http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72187-bluetooth-troubles-att-blackberry-bold-9000-a.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:19:55 GMT I recently took delivery of Gen III Prius V that I love.

The car drives even better than I recall from a fairly quick test drive while the electronics package (I have the navigation system but not the AT package) compares favorably to two much more expensive European cars that I own.

My only challenge so far has been with my ATT Blackberry Bold / 9000 and the car's bluetooth phone system. The problem is that although the Blackberry links readily to the system, the in-dash phone keypad lights up and then shuts off (goes dark) every few minutes -- ie, sometimes I can use the dash / navigation screen keypad to make calls and sometimes I cannot. This happens only while I am driving.

The weird thing is that the Blackberry is linked at all times to the bluetooth system (regardless of whether the dash keypad is dark) and I can always make a call via the system by using the keypad on the handset. I can also receive calls on the system at all times -- regardless of whether the in-dash keys are lit.

I believe the car's bluetooth system is fine given that my wife's iPhone 3G links perfectly while the Blackberry in question has always linked without a problem to a variety of Motorola ear-pieces that I have used.

Any insight / experience that someone could offer to this phone nuisance would be much appreciated. ]]> Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics socal1 http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72187-bluetooth-troubles-att-blackberry-bold-9000-a.html http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72180-free-usb-early-nav-customers.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:08:57 GMT I read this online today and thought I'd pass it along and ask, "IS THIS TRUE"?

".... Coleman told Priuschat that USB integration will only be availalbe with the Navigation package that can be added to the upper level Prius trim levels: III, IV and V. The good news is that early Prius buyers can get the USB functionality added at the dealership (for a fee, of course). The bad news: the $1,800 nav package will cost more when USB is added......"

So, I have an early Prius with Nav (pkg IV). Can I then get the USB upgrade for free? ]]> Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics hansgrason1 http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72180-free-usb-early-nav-customers.html http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72174-fm-reception-cant-listen-radio-in-laguna-beach.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:13:46 GMT It's been reported that the radio reception is poor (unless you are in the middle of a big city) - but this takes the cake... We went to Laguna Beach - a cute city in So Cal... Every other car I have driven gets a decent signal on the main stations. My poor Prius pulled so much static, I couldn't listen to FM at all.

Most of the reasons that make it entirely unusable have been well outlined in the previous discussions, but I wanted to add one more point.

For those who enjoy audio books on their iPod, the Prius integration is particularly insulting. Every time the vehicle is turned off, the Prius looses the book mark and goes back to the beginning of the chapter. Fast-forwarding to the time you were at when you stopped the vehicle is entirely impractical (it would require you first to write down the time in your audio books before you turned the car off, then, when you restarted the car, to tediously fast-forward to where you left off).

I called the Toyota Customer Experience Center (800 331-4331) to inquire about this "feature" and they told me "the engineers had designed it this way", but that if "enough people complained about it they would consider changing it".

So, if you enjoy audio books on your iPod, please call the number above and let them know that you prefer not to go back to the beginning of the chapter each time you get in the car!!!!! ]]> Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics dslot http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72163-ipod-audiobooks.html http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72162-contacting-navtek-regarding-spelling-errors-road.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:21:08 GMT of all the Roads on the Map of my location, my street is misspelled, and we are talking a major highway no less. it is very irritating to say the... of all the Roads on the Map of my location, my street is misspelled, and we are talking a major highway no less. it is very irritating to say the least. especially when they have Punkydoodle Corners on the map and spelled correctly to boot!

I'm at 250 miles on a 2010 Prius, still trying to figure out a lot of the electronic display stuff and the Owner's Manual comes up short in places. In particular, I am confused about the Best Consumption display. It was working fine and I figured out how to set it, but now, whenever I check there, it only displays a couple of dashes - as if it's not computing it, or hiding the information somewhere. Can anyone help with this? :confused: ]]> Gen III 2010 Prius Audio and Electronics Sangye Menla http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-audio-electronics/72111-best-consumption-reset.html
