How to change customizable settings on the Prius?

whitespider · 07-04-2007, 10:43 PM

First let me start off by saying thank you to everyone here for helpping me get the deal and prius I wanted. I had to drive from miami FL to tampa FL and then back (5 and a half hour drive according to the nav) to get it, but it was worth it with how rare it was, and I was starting my new job 48 hours later so I was MORE than happy to get it then.

THANK YOU!!

Anyways, on to the topic: So i've got in my Prius documents a document called "Customizable_features.pdf", the title of the top page of this PDF said "Customized Body Electronics System". This document fancies me. Why? Because it shows diffrent settings I can have on my Prius... but...

HOW?!

Honestly, that's what this topic is about. I am attaching a copy of the file incase i'm not being understood.

My first goal is to get the smart key system to unlock all four doors, so that my impressive first shock to friends and family is that much of an impression when I walk up and tell them just to get in.

Some (All? Most?) of those features can only be enabled/disabled at the dealer with a Scantool, I believe. However, the SmartKey system has user-changeable settings. It's actually in your users' manual or, alternately, Wayne has posted about it in this thread.

Basically, there are three settings: one that only opens the door that you touch, one that opens all the doors when you touch any door, and a third that opens all doors when you touch the hatch or the passenger's door, but only opens the drivers' door when you touch that door (the default, I believe).

As for 'which doors to unlock" question... the previous post is correct. Page 32 of your Owner's Manual explains the process. It's a little long to repeat word for word here, Basically, the mode is reset by simultaneously holding the "lock" button and "panic" buttons on your remote and listening for the 'beeps.'

You may have to make several attempts, but it will work... patience is the watchword. Repeated attempts are also usually required for programming the 'reverse beep to off' and other owner-enabled modifications.

I think all of the other items on the "customizable" list have to be done at the dealership with a scan tool. I didn't see anything that I wanted to have changed when I purchased mine, so I just let it go....

Hmm, Can I do this at any Toyota Dealership or just the one I bot mines at? Cause I got mines a little over 200 miles away... heh.

I'd check your closest dealer. The odds are they'll be able to.

Even if you didn't buy your car there they know you will have to take it somewhere for service.

Yes, any dealer can do it for you, but they will probably charge a fee for doing so.

Sorry I don't have it handy, but there is a thread here on how you can disable the "seatbelt unused while moving" chime, which is handy if you want to unbuckle as you turn into your driveway, etc. You can also turn off the passenger side, but I leave mine on so as to not have to nag my passengers to buckle up, as I know they should.

I remember this, it also said how to remove the reverse beep. I was hoping there were tricks like this for the rest of the customizable features.
