    I was all ready to go to the dealer when I got that reset link at the last moment and it worked. If it didn't I would go to the dealer so they could contact their tech people so eventually my system could be replaced.

    Well, problem has resurfaced for some reason. I haven't gone through the tunnel since it has been fixed and over the weekend I went through and it worked fine westbound but disappeared eastbound.

    Zephyr7, I'm the one who did do the reset/calibration originally. It worked that week going through the tunnel and I thought it was resolved. But when I went through the tunnel last weekend the problem happened going eastbound.

    I'm on 2.20. Based on this working for most others I would say it's a very rare bug.

    You should update to 3.1.0 and see if it makes a difference. Entune controls the operation of the nav system, regardless of the map version.

    The calibration maybe off again, please try to re-calibrate.
    The lastest SW is 3.1.0, according to TSB there is no Nav fixes just ipod Auto play.

    I'm not saying an Entune update will fix this issue, but I'm in the software business, and whenever there's a problem the first question is always "Are you on the current version?".

    And 3.1.0 does have at least one nav fix:

    Get the Display Audio head unit replaced? Toyota has done this on other models where a problem count not be fixed, and GeoZoo just posted that they're doing it for his C:

    Get the Navi box replace, after replacement still an issue get dealer to log a report.
    Do not get the Display Audio replace as that only handles the display much like a computer monitor and AF/FM radio.

    As far as I know there is no "Navi box" on the Prius c, but I'm open to hearing more about this.

    What does "Navi box replace" mean? Is this something I can do without the dealer? I'm confused.

    This is the link to the video (Entune 3.1.0):
    entune-3-1_nav-prob.mov - Google Drive

    Thanks to the terrible glare it's hard to see before entering the tunnel but if you maximize the video you can make out the blue line for the path, and then it clearly disappears entering the tunnel. This is going Eastbound through the inner tunnel.

    under warranty Toyota isn't letting u do things on your own.

    those interested in the "Navi box" look at the diagram here. it is the box below 86140A, box connects to 86140A cable 86842

    If Toyota won't let me do things on my own, then how do I replace the Navi box?
    You wrote: "Get the Navi box replace, after replacement still an issue get dealer to log a report."

    Do you mean get the dealer to replace the Navi box? Isn't that for them to decide? I'm still confused.

    Just an update, dealer contacted Toyota and they want to determine whether problem has to do with radio unit or gps nav unit and so next week or so I'm going to get the radio replaced with one from one of their used cars. If I can't replicate the problem then they would replace the radio with a new one.

    I drove through tunnel yesterday and the problem didn't happen so this is sporadically happening it seems.

    FYI, problem still happens sporadically, sometimes only East-> West, sometimes West -> East, sometimes not at all. I dropped my car off to the dealer. They told me they did not see the problem going through the tunnel but they're going to replace the extension box. Hopefully that'll fix the problem. I have a very clear video showing the problem now so I think that helped a lot.

    I guess some brands of GPS just give up easier than others.
