hacking the prius

while playing around with the voice recognition service display using the method in this post

http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=15018&hl=

i found some other service screens, like for example

instead of pressing the left upper and lower portions of the display screen you can press the upper left and right portions of the screen to get into "diagnosis check I"

and when you are in the main "diagnosis menu" press the upper left followed by the lower right corners of the screen to get into the "product diagnosis" screen where you can calibrate the touchscreen among other things

i have an '06 pkg 7 (recieved on the 13th!) BTW and am just loving it!

Pictures please...and details of what can be done....esp. since this is an '06 and it is ripe for discoveries.

Damn you! Now I have to put clothes on, grab a camera, and go out and hop in the car to poke at a new screen, and it's 19F out there and falling!

Well, maybe not. It can wait till tomorrow I guess. But it's really, REALLY tempting...

This also seems to work on the 2005. Click upper-left/lower-right three times gets into a funky bluetooth setup screen. Still haven't played with the options.

looks like im not the first to find this, as shown in this thread

http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=13328

and i thought i found out something new!

oh well, im still determined to find new diagnostic screens and it looks like i did just that last night!

i found that in the "blootooth check" screen if you press the lower left then the lower right then the lower left and the lower right you can access the "handsfree security code set" screen

also from the "product diagnosis menu" you can hold the lower left corner for about 5 seconds and a "data logging selection" screen appears

the hidden screens arnt all that impressive, however at least im finding something
