Problem: Poor Satellite Radio Reception
Description: 2010 Prius - Satellite Radio Signal Weak

Satellite radio only displays firsts 16 characters of text strings.

Occasionally, that leads to funny truncations. Ive seen several that made me laugh, but this is the most recent:

While Listening to the broadway channel, The Scarlet Pimpernel displays as The Scarlet Pimp.

Maybe it wasn't the show you thought it was!

Thanks for starting this thread and thanks to the Doc for making it a sticky. I'm curious about this phone answering issue. I am wondering if that is the same issue I have with my 2004 Prius. When I use my iPhone (or any other previous BT phone) to initiate the call there is a delay in the voice transfer to BT. What happens is that the recipient of the call fails to hear you (or vice versa) for a few seconds. You will always hear the person saying, hello? HELLO!!??? I think you all know what I'm referring to. Is this the same issue with the 2010?

djasonw,

I believe you will have better chance of getting an answer to your question by asking it directly in the phone delay thread referred to in the first post. This thread is just for posting references to problems that have already been described, experienced and discussed.

Thanks!

NovaStu,

Thanks for the info.

If you can find (or start) a thread that describes the problem, and that shows that other people have experienced the problem too, etc. (see the rules in post #2), post the information on this thread then I will add it to the list.

Here is a short thread under Audio and Electronics from July 20
Satellite Radio Character Length
and I mentioned it in the middle of this thread on July 6
Satelite Radio

It's not a high priority problem, to be sure, but it is an obvious software error which should be able to be easily fixed.

Thanks...

Stu

I still think that the double image in the speedo display is a problem. I started a thread about this an many have reported the seeing the same double image. Double Vision on Speed Display

During the past week, I've gone past several of those machines that digitally tell you how fast you're travelling. I've driven past 5 of them this week and I noticed that the MPH on the car is 2 MPH greater than what was being tracked by the machine. (I was the only car in range that the device was reading).

I don't know if the car is incorrect or all 5 of those tracking machines are incorrect.

Maybe Toyota is looking to slow down the leadfoots by making them think they're going faster than they actually are.

Same observation using my Mio GPS car showing 2 mph higher than actual. My Gen 1 was spot on at all speeds.
