Friends: 0 | I have just been advised there is a new navigation DVD Ver. 9.1 due out on September 1. Since I picked up my car three weeks ago it has Ver. 8.1, do you have to pay $200-$300 to get Ver. 9.1 or is there some way to complain to Toyota customer service. |

Did you see this information online somewhere? I too, would love the new update, but not if I need to pay more money for it so soon after buying the car. Is it mainly a data upgrade, or a software upgrade? | |

Friends: 13 | just a data upgrade. And I have not seen Toyota voluntarily upgrade a DVD. Not saying it won't happen, but I have never seen it done. Although, you guys/gals are considerably more "on top" of things than the average consumer. |

Friends: 4 | No way they're going to give it to you for free and lose out on $200-300 (unless you strike a deal with the dealer before purchasing the car). Really no different from purchasing any other electronics before a software update. It's a revenue generator for Toyota. |

I've already encountered two such errors on my 2010. One led me down an alley that led to (but didn't actually connect with) a housing development I was trying to get to in Pennsylvania. The second error in northern New Jersey tried to send me into a side-road leading to a farm field while I was on my way to visit my daughter. Hopefully, this update will be done with no cost to the users also. Stu

Friends: 4 | Different situation. Your NAV system wasn't working right in the first place and Toyota remedied that. |

My wife received an e-mail from Sewell Lexus in Dallas to purchase Ver. 9.1 for her Lexus & I spoke to their parts dept regarding Toyota. & they said that can order the Toyota as long as they know the version of your Prius system. Their price I think is good at $199.00 with a $50.00 mail in rebate if you return the Ver. 8.1 to them with their rebate form. Phil Phil | |

I already had a portable system which was stolen out of the glove box by a theif smashing a window cause they saw the wires hanging out. If you don't put it away each time you park even if you stop a few minutes to run into a store, your bound to have it stolen one day. Phil | |
