Friends: 0 |  Screen lock out while driving I am not sure why Toyota insists that many functions lock out on the display screen while driving. Did it ever occur to them that at times the passenger may want to access the audio settings while the vehicle is moving or enter an address. You shouldn't have to stop the vehicle to adjust the bass. Also the delay to get into Map mode, why I could wreck the car reading that paragraph disclaimer. |

Friends: 1 | Re: Screen lock out while driving Liability is the bottom line....not customer appreciation/satisfaction. Lawyers and Lawsuits....are at a all time high. Simply amazing... Makes me easily recall the lawsuit for: HOT Coffee spilled causing burns.. Hot coffee is "HOT" isn't it????  |

Friends: 0 | Re: Screen lock out while driving I also have a 2005 Prius that has a work around to defeat the lockout. We just picked up our 2010 and would like to know if there is a work around to defeat the screen lockout? |

Friends: 2 | Re: Screen lock out while driving 2010, I, too, find this to be frustrating. I'm just glad that the disclaimer screen will actually clear itself after a few beats. With respect to the lockout override, there have been a few threads about this. The search function seems to be very good with this forum's software. I've also noticed that as soon as I start typing in a heading when beginning a new thread, the software automatically searches for any possible thread matches. Having said that, I found a few threads about the screen lockout. There seems to be a potential with the SatNav's dead reckoning: Navigation Input Override (Speed Sensor Bypass) Prestigious Society Navi hack installed Software mod to allow while-moving Nav and Phone. Enable rear camera display while driving? 2010 Hack question

Friends: 0 | Re: Screen lock out while driving People are behind those lawyers too. The world would be a much better place without the lawyers who sue for peoples' basic stupidity and the courts that allow them to pick the pockets of companies to the point that companies make decision based on liability. Stupid people should just buck up and say "duh, that was stupid and my fault" and stay away from these lawyers! |

They are being sued and hounded by the government over floor mats. I can't imagine the troubles they'd have in the US if they allowed full access to the screen while driving. As for the passenger using the system, how could they control that to lock out the driver? Have you push an agreement screen than you won't use it while driving? I agree though in the US there needs to be a legal way not to sue the manufacturer over peoples stupidity, but until there is I don't expect things to change Last edited by wvgasguy; 11-20-2009 at 12:54 PM. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Screen lock out while driving If there was a back door access (hidden menu) allowing to do it, Toyota would likely not be liable if the owner was taking steps to override the factory lock as it is an "illegal" hack. Everybody would be happy! |
