Nav system disclaimer

[KCPrius]

We just picked up my wife's 05 Black Prius on Monday, which has package 6. Every time she starts the car, the nav system disclaimer pops up and you have to press "agree" to get past it. Is there some way to disable this disclaimer...I mean, how many times do you have to be told that Toyota isn't responsible if you get lost????

http://www.coastaletech.com has a product to kill it, hopefully just now in production - expect a wait for it though as it's in high demand!

Hmmm, maybe it's waiting for you to carefully read the disclaimer...it's about driving safely and not crashing.

Your song is a familiar one, there is no permanant way to get rid of it. Now, there's no need for it to appear "Every time she starts the car". Just leave the MFD on the Energy/Consumption screen and it won't appear at all until/unless you hit the MAP or NAV button.

Also, there is a mod coming from http://www.coastaletech.com that will automatically hit the "I Agree" and it will allow entry of NAV data while the car is in motion. See --> This Link

It isn't an "in case you get lost" thing, it is an "In case you get in an accident and kill someone while staring at the screen instead of watching the road" thing. :-)

And you don't have to hit it every time you start the car, only the first time you go to the map after starting the car.

Coastal Technologies has just announced an "I agree" bypass mod. Easy plug in under the driver's seat. They have many other Prius mods available.

Geez you guys are fast! I figured I would be the first reply!

haha, Sorry Bruce

Perhaps Toyota should add an "I agree" screen stating that one needs to read the I agree screen while not driving or Toyota is not held responsible for any problems caused when reading and agreeing to the screen while driving.

... or the telephone screen, or the calendar screen, or the maintenance screen....

Yes, I know it's about driving and not crashing. If that's the case, why put it in the car in the first place? You're going to be using it while driving - if you haven't got the sense that God gave a goose to realize that driving is more important than any other function (except apparently making phone calls), then perhaps they shouldn't sell you that feature.

And what happens if, the first time you go to the map, you happen to be going 45 mph? Shouldn't it stop you from reading the screen until you are stopped? Or is it somehow safer to have you careen off the road as you reach to press the "I agree" icon?

One final question though...I tried to enter our home address into the database, so I entered my house number with no problem, but I live on a numbered street, for the sake of discussion, it's 155th street. When I try to enter the street name, it only accepts the first 2 digits, and I can't put the entire address in. I also notice that when I try to select a city, my city ( a suburb of Kansas City) isn't an option, however, just about every city in Pennsylvania is acceptable.

Do you have the nav set to your region?

Well now I'm going to have to go check, but I'm pretty sure you don't get that message with anything under the "INFO" button (which includes all the stuff you mentioned), and the MFD won't display any of those screens on start up. They are, of course, disabled while the car is moving, however.

B/C some people don't have that much sense, and even those that do would happily sue Toyota for untold millions when they careened off the road. That disclaimer isn't for intended to help us, it's intended to try to deflect some of Toyota's liability. To those of us with sense approaching that of a goose it's an annoyance, but little more than that.

You need to reset your region...I think MO is in region 6 or 7 on NAV v4.2 which is what you should have.
