2007 prius change

lkhensley · 08-17-2006, 12:57 PM

Just wondering, is the navigation system in the 2007 any different? I heard something about a traffic update thing and better visual looks (3D?)

Looks like Toyota has upgraded the Nav display (more color and 3D) and will include the traffic update feature. Too bad they're not including the automated assistance parking option for the US market. I found a video on the some of the new 07 features (not much has changed, 16" wheels, aux switch and Nav display).

Thanks for the info. Will this be available as an upgrade in the '06??

No upgrade to the 2006 available. It's a whole new nav system, including a faster processor that reportedly provides quicker rerouting calculations. Because the nav software is due for an upgrade this Fall, expect to see it as well.
